That was ATA's regional subsidiary, Chicago Express (which is why it had the word Chicago on it... the full titles read "ATA Connection Chicago Express"). It was here because Chicago Express was doing a little recruitment. They came and talked to my commercial ground class this morning, and told us that their average new hires only have about 300 hours! Anyway, we went up in the Saab and looked in the cockpit and all. Nothing to exciting for those of us who aren't ready to work yet, but we got out of class early to go to it.

I just thought it was weird that it taxied up to the AT building, usually all the 'outside' aircraft park either at Lafayette Aviation or the terminal building.
I wish I was there! Heh... Anyways, we got to jump on the wings of the 727 in Engines and Powerplants!!!!!!!! So there!

Yeah, this was an American Eagle Saab. The interior had AA carpeting and bulkheads, and many of the seats still had the American Eagle upholstry. These interiors are being replaced, but the Chicago Express interior isn't being installed in this particular aircraft until Monday.
