Didn't they ALSO say USAir AND United would be out of business years ago?

Don't put too much faith in these empty suits with a laptop and a blog!
 
2. Combines the AWA/APA pilot groups to put USAPA out to pasture.

But...who's to say APA combines with AWA...suppose APA combines with USAPA....I don't know,...just asking...APA and USAPA have both gone rogue on ALPA...plus,...they both have a seniority "similarities"...

Parker running airline with 3 pilot contracts and 2 labor groups!! This will be crazy!!!

Oh yeah it will be one ugly mess. However Parker has been very vocal on more industry consolidation, and very clear that he wants to be involved. This deal hss been in the works for over a year now. The delta/us slot swap was a strategic play to reduce amr and usair over lap in lga. This way they wont be forced to give up as many slots during the merger to swa, b6 etc. Shortly after, amr orders a bunch of airbus aircraft (usairs choice of a/c, all 737s will be parked next year). Unprofitable PHX goes away as it is obsolete with a DFW hub, and the last piece of the puzzle just went into action. Reduce labor cost, relax scope and the deals done.

Man...if that deal comes to pass...I can only imagine what the moral will be like amongst East/West and AA guys. I suppose something like...

...a tornado, a hurricane and rabid honey badger walk into a bar..........
