'Big deal' may be on way for US Airways

Wow, can you imagine the seniority mess if USAirways starts another merger without the first list being nailed down?

(OK, now I'll go make some popcorn, grab a beer and watch where this thread goes now!)

This isn't news, Parker has been repeating it for several years. He wants to merge US with AA, UA, or DL and if/when he can, he will.

I disagree with the anti-capitalist rhetoric. The real money wants to get more of it easy and risk free and there just isn't enough to be had with two over-leveraged airlines looking down the barrel of $130+/bbl oil.

Watch which branches Obama needs to grab to maintain his power and buy those.

Yes and No. They could also start with a clean slate on a merger.

I agree with TWA Dude; nothing to see here. Move along....

Parker said the exact same thing in a crew news session in February. He has been saying this for a very long time.

If classes were cancelled it was because of oil, IMHO.

Also, the retiring of the West 737's is going to put a huge strain on the West training for Airbus, this too could affect the recalls.

Then again, I could be completely wrong.

It will be a split deal. SWA will take the West and AA will take the East. Can you imagine?

Fun Fact. The Seniority list IS nailed down. It's called the Nic. award.

If the Company screws with it, the merger will be blocked in Court for the next decade.

Very true. Parker wants a merger with someone... anyone... but nobody else wants to merge with Airways. Not likely to happen anytime soon.

Parker is just dusting off the for sale sign that has been on the lawn for years.
