Notice how AA drops routes it competes with JB on? For the DOJ in future merger?

AA will be divesting of a huge number of slots at JFk once it sells Eagle

 

[Cpt Oveur]

Who owns those slots, is it AA mainline, Eagle, or AMR? Oh wait, no one on here will know the answer to that, just guess what they think makes sense

Well, Eagle sure as hell doesnt own them. We would have been a prime carrier for someone to buy if we owned all the slots we use in LGA/JFK/DCA/ORD. Probably owned by AMR and leased to Eagle for $1/year or something stupid

It's not hard to figure out. AA does not trade on the NYSE,NASDAQ or any other exchange nor Eagle. Both are what are referred to as "Strategic Business Units" of the AMR corporation. Therefore AMR (or in fact the AMR shareholders) owns the slots.

Like CAL, DAL and everyone else for that matter AMR is on record for wanting to divest Eagle.

Do the math, Eagle is worthless. Slots go with the sale of Eagle, along with a contract for feed otherwise AA will never be able to do what every other major has already done. Divest it's regional.
