I don't see why not....A couple of different sources have indicated that something should happen by July 1. If they're going thru the process of informing ALPA, I doubt it is just idle speculation on anyone's part.
General consensus is nobody want the 50 seaters, but if AMR structures a spin to where they keep ownership of the aircraft, and only sells the employees, facilities and certificates, maybe this really does have legs...
If you believe it is about increasing the value, maybe you should ask for a corresponding percentage of the stock float in exchange for lifting the cap...
Route authorities rarely have any commercial value, nor do networks when you're talking about feeder airlines.
Slots might have value, but in most cases, both the route authority & the slots belong to the major/marketing carrier, not the regional/operating carrier.
Tell that to all the guys in the Class II Stations that would be given the choice of NYC, MIA, ORD, LAX, DFW, or the street. More than likely their only choices would be NYC or LAX.
So maybe AMR should just GIVE Eagle away....Seems worthless after reading your take on it.
Wrong, when a company goes through bankruptcy, the unions dont go away.
Go read up on Section 1113, it orders negotiations, and if a deal isnt reached the CBA gets abrogated, one is either imposed or voted on, I lived it twice at US Airways and was on the Negotiating Committee, US M&R are now in negotiations for their second post bankruptcy CBA.
Dont let the facts get in your way.

How do you figure, Bob? You think that absent the ASM cap, AA would just abandon everything except hub to hub flying?... That'd be pretty counterproductive.
Or are you perhaps confusing the ASM cap with the 2555 cap on departures which determines insourcing vs. outsourcing? I think it's entirely reasonable to have a ceiling on departures which triggers insourcing in a given city.
I was doing some schedule analysis the other day, and excluding Eagle, it appears there are 38 domestic airports with 8 or more mainline departures:
Unless AA plans on parking a lot of aircraft, I don't see how they could cut out 32 cities and replace them with Eagle, Bob.
