200 more furloughs at USairways

Valuable hubs, crown jewel of the east coast? Anyone think this old boy needs a drug test or psych. eval??

 

[OurMoney1]

USAir has always been the crown jewel of the east coast. AA and UAL have both long coveted the route structure and made merger overtures in the past. THAT IS UNDENIABLE and FACT!
What is coming around the corner nobody knows, but for USAir it will probably involved a buyout with the west money losing operation going to Republic.

Crown jewel?

I liken USAirways to the neighborhood whore; every couple of years she buys a new dress but she is still the UNDENIABLE same washed out slut.

yawn....

So Valuable that they are dumping LGA and BOS not to mention the sale of the 190s.

Yep, Usair's a real gem.

 

[Bringupthebird]

Because USAir as a brand is larger, more well known, and the name encompasses the entire USA unlike "America West". It would be confusing from a customer standpoint to fly "America West" on East coast routes. It's the same reason that the Delta name wins in the Delta-Northwest merger.

Huh? America West encompasses the entire West of America. Delta is that little swampy mouth of the Mississippi river.

Okay, people, please pay attention. Some posters employ sarcasm for humorous effect. Don't take their posts seriously or literally.

(for the record, I use /sarcasm/ to avoid confusion)

Say it's not so, there's /sarcasm/ on Flightinfo.com?

US Air is heading down the drain. You guys can argue all you want but the elephant in the room is about your survival. Keep arguing about the mighty east network and "lottery tickets" all you want- the fact remains AAA has been a financial black hole and the money is running out.

I wonder why your grammar and writing are so different.

We're on the same team!

East pilots had one of the best jobs in the industry, they had pilots leaving UAL, AMR and LUV to go to work there. AAA was an envy of the industry for many years, now the AWA pilots had a chance to feel some of that and they ruined it with their super-seniority demands.

There- I just did a MCDU- posing as somebody I really am not! God I love this board.

P.S. MCDU is a bitter east pilot but he has a fixation with America West

There you go St nic

P.P.S.

MCDU is not a professional pilot at all. His parents paid his way into Gulfstream Academy but he is only a pretender.

SERIOUSLY? You revived a 3 year old post to throw stones at St. Nic? You, sir, are exhibiting the behavior of a total D-bag.

Why don't you and your fellow west idiot st nic go get some feces and send it to each other. That is what westicles do best. Mailing feces. Enjoy Phx. East pilots want nothing to do with the scum out west. I am fine with separate ops.
No windfall for the pft generation.
