Anyone who KNOWS certainly won't be posting on a public internet bulletin board.
So, since you're just inviting speculation, I will jump in with a question of my own:
Would the current AA scope clause allow A220s to be operated by Eagle carriers or would they have to be flown by mainline pilots?
The E195s inherited from US were mainline and are being phased out, right? I'm assuming that the scope clause doesn't allow the E95 to be flown by Eagle or else these airframes would have been leased to MQ or some other Eagle carrier instead of dumped outright.
