Safe to say? It don't mean nathin. Just that they refinanced to probably take advantage of a better deal. I agree its fun to speculate, but your statement is a stretch.

Well, I have a friend he was in RAH, went to Southern and got furlough, he's now at GoJet.
He said the CR7 is more difficult than the 170 and that the 747. I don't think you have to really step your game.
You guys even have AutoThrottle...
You can make RAH as great as you want, but it doesn't change that is one of the most ****ty airlines out there.

First, on Wednesday the MEC convened via teleconference to consider the current discussions with US Airways. As you may be aware, US Airways management is not satisfied with Eagle’s cost structure in light of Delta’s new regional cost structure. There are two challenges that US Airways has expressed regarding Delta. One is the current block hour rates that Delta pays to Go Jets, Compass, and Pinnacle. The second is that during the years 2015 through 2017, Delta has the contractual right to reset the block hour pricing of many of its other feed operators to match its second lowest-priced feed operator. Since Go Jets, Compass, and Pinnacle are all currently priced below American Eagle, US Airways has expressed concern over its ability to compete since one third of the “new” American Airlines operation will be performed by its regional partners.
Obviously this issue is compounded by the fact that we recently met AMR’s cost savings target for Eagle through a consensual deal while in bankruptcy and have implemented that challenging contract overhaul. As you know, we held out for a contractual fleet plan until the final few days of negotiations and ultimately settled for furlough protection calculated upon the fleet plan we were trying to secure in the bankruptcy agreement.
....but what do I know, I just make things up.
