US AIR. the industry dark horse 2016???

[say again]

It is a little easier to make a bigger profit when your pilots are paid 50% less.

Exactly!!! Maybe they should take some of that profit and increase the pay-scale.

The "union" is happy with the undercutting B scale wages. They've been negotiating for 2+ years and haven't even submitted a payrate proposal to be shot down by the company. Really.

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

Sadly, Lampshade is correct.

Regardless of the amount of retirements, it will still be USair.

At least we don't layover in Lubbock diamond boy! :laugh:

 

[A-V-8]

Any ideas when the hiring window will open?

The company has not formalized the date as of yet. Looks like they are waiting to know the outcome of the Snap back grievance.

US Air is fine to use for some quick Jet time but it's insane to expect anything but a miserable "career" there. Doug Parker, the CEO, even said so a few weeks ago in a crew news session. Everything that name touches turns to Schitt. Just like 1983 ain't coming back, either is a valuable career at US Air. Use as a stepping stone and even then be careful.

Yeah. You have a PHL base. Lucky you.

Gup

That's all you got?? I'll take the Lubbock layover any day over working for US Airways.

Expect an American and US Air merger in 2 to 3 years.

Yeah, I am sure American is thinking, "boy, if we could just buy USAir, that would fix things."

Gup

Thats a "touché" if I ever saw one! lol

 

[Captzaahlie]

I agree, BUT it's one of the only combinations that hasn't been tired yet, so these last two will probably dance since they've been sitting on the bench waiting their turn for an ugly partner.

Wishful thinking.

USAir only brings one thing to the table for AA; more headaches.

Seen alot of power plays in my career but this one doesnt jive.

Next.

If you wish to enjoy a satisfying and fulfilling airline career, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! No pay,work rules, pension,quality of life,etc,etc.
With no end in sight!!
Just take a look at whats happened at US Airways ( USAir) for the last 20 years, and then make-up your own mind..
Remember, an airline career is somewhat like marriage. If you marry the right one, well the rewards are endless. But if you chose poorly, in the end you will be BROKE and heart broken!!

Not even "wishful" on my part (as I don't

really even plan to take a recall at Americas

most dysfunctional airline) but if it doesn't make

any sense you KNOW both airlines management are

all over it! lol :bomb:

....Oh I forgot, 7 days of VACATION until you complete 8 YEARS OF SERVICE!!!! WTF!!
