There's nothing about US Airways that American needs or wants. When you're own boat is leaking, the last thing you need is a big anchor.
There might be a few pieces of United that would fit into the AA system, but certainly nothing of US Airways.
Heard there was some kind of meeting in CLT last week between these guys?

PHL? YGBSM. US Airways is a management debacle. And I'm pretty sure that the APA sure as heck doesn't want anything to do with the abortion of a pilot group that US Airways consists of right now. I can't even imagine that Arpey would like to revisit another TWA disaster only 4 times worse with the antics of USAPA. And besides, AA still has 1700+ pilots on furlough. No way would I ever allow another company's pilots onto our seniority list ahead of them.
A lot of domestic capacity needs to GO AWAY in this country, not be saved. US Airways has worn out the defibulator machine,
I doubt the validity of the reported meeting at all.
