Eagle guys put it all on the line. I humbly salute them. Per aspera ad astra.

The article said Air Wisconsin may get some of the Eagle planes, the CR7s I'm guessing. Wow. That is the only way they will live on, since their 50 seaters will probably be targeted to leave. Nuts!


Bye Bye---General Lee

There is no new information that I'm seeing here, just Business Week's analysis of what has occurred thus far. It still remains to be seen what American Airlines will actually choose to do (or be able to do) with their regional feed. I'm still hoping they're bluffing or are simply unable to replace Eagle due to the wage/benefit shortage.

Air Wisconsin won't fly the 700's for anything less then AE and actually will want more to fly them. I guess PSA first....

If Eagle/AAG management wants to keep their pilot labor costs low, why don't they simply increase their Eagle flow to mainline?

Isn't it more advantageous to AAG's regional cost structure when they move a $100/hour Eagle Captain over to mainline as opposed to hiring a mainline F/O from Jet Blue?

Move more of those (relatively) highly paid 12-15 year Eagle Captains over to mainline, move 5 year F/Os over to the left seat, and bring in more $26/hour new hires.
