How does an internal seniority issue equate to the demise of an airline? Answer: it doesn't. It may make merging more unattractive to some stakeholders, but in the grand scheme of things it is irrelevant. You are not as important as you think you are.

I think that my point is this...for whatever reason, mergers are considered to be needed in the industry right now. Everyone is partnering up. It's interesting to see where we stand now vs. where we were when airlines were deregulated.

I think that the pilot squabble makes USAIR unattractive to any other carrier, because they know that there is no way to successfully merge the two pilot groups since USAIR's group can't come to an acceptable solution.

All I'm saying is that if consolidation is seen as essential in the future, USAIR might be left standing alone and that may not work out for the airline. It could go one of many ways...but I think that my observation is spot on (as it always is). OK, you guys go back to your little family squabble.
 
I long for re-entrance to the Bubba Hubba. I intend to double down on my commitment to a southern alternative lifestyle. Moving from Sheetcago to Ol' Virginny was great. Ahmma gonna try South Cackalacky next, mebbe fer life!

Thats our plan as well. Going to have and pass on the "ALTERNATIVE" part but we look forward to the rest of the southern lifestyle. The wife and I are checking out houses around Lake B scale (Wiley) Don't think we can afford Lake A scale (Norman). We are going to wait a little bit and make sure this recall "STICKS" if you know what I mean ??

Everything about US Air is a train wreck. Nobody in their right mind would buy anything except a hard assets from US Air.

Pretty safe to say that US Air is the leper colony of the airline industry.
 
Trying to place a 2005 hire in front of a 1988 hire will not be accepted in PHL, CLT or DCA. The jobs Westies bought to the merger reminds of the properties people had in Vegas and PHX. Worthless.

Worthless? You mean like being an '88 hire at US Air and all that gets you is being a junior FO? Genius.

Man, you and St Nic just keep on proving that you're the absolute biggest idiots on FI.
 
That 1988 doh was a capt before and now has about 800 east pilots below him. Your new hire is and was always bottom.

Key word....WAS. Don't f@#k over other pilots because you got screwed in the past.
 
Give me a break junior. Awa had no money and was owned 2/3 by the government. Look where all the profits are
made. Hardly out west. West jobs are worthless. easties did not sacrifice so some 28 year old ex Mesa can jump ahead of someone with 17 years.
