No furloughs at USAIR East

I guess the E190 will go junior from now on. Lot of senior guys bidding the heavies as f/o's.

Of course, they're selling the fleet. It's like rats off a sinking ship.

USAPA stepped to the plate and it delivered thanks to aggressive moves like not supporting the swap with Delta..

I hate to rain on your parade but USAPA had nothing to do with killing the Delta swap deal. The proviso the regulators threw in at the last minute killed that deal.

Come on, you know the pilots crushed the swap, do not play the "DOT/Regulator along with Management made the pilots irrelevant again" card.... Sheesh!

The USAir pilot group stood united and crushed this thing saving hundreds from the street. The management colluded with the gov't and made it seem like they killed it so they could try and take the steam out of the USAPA bargaining juggernaut.

Of course, they're selling the fleet. It's like rats off a sinking ship.

They sold 10 out of 25 airplanes. They are keeping the remaining 15 on the LGA-BOS-DCA shuttle. For now of course.
