U.S. Airways trying to buy Delta

[AAflyer]

There's been alot of chatter about hubs & seniority lists, but what about airplanes? LCC is in bed with the dreaded Airbus & Delta is all American. Who would win? Common sense tells me the older 737's would vanish first. 777 or A330 for pond crossings? The only fleet similarities would be the 757...but I don't know which airlines have what engine... ZP

Usairways (AWA as well)---R&R 757s

Delta--------Pratt 757s

New combined fleet

B777
A330
B767-200/300ERs/400s
B757
A321/320/319
B737-300/400
B737-800
MD88
MD90
E-190

Nice mix.

Delta and USAir guys can start bickering about seniority and denying jumpseats.

Denying jumpseats??? C'mon...an airline pilot wouldn't really do that now, would he?

Now how does that ALPA list integration work again? A profitable airline buys a bankrupt airline, they are both ALPA, you have to consider career expectations......... So if it goes through they will integrate the lists with maybe a 3 for 1 at the top, then staple most of the DAL pilots to the bottom of the US Air list?

No, no....Date of Hire is really the only way here....Remember...

Date of Hire=Unity

Unity=Date of Hire

That MD80 is supposed to be MD88s. Don't forget the E190s USAir is getting too......soon.

Not to mention all of HP's 320's/319's are RR. "east" (US) A320/321 ... GE.

That is small potatoes though compared to when they get paired in the flight deck.

It will be interesting to see how the PILOT SENIORITY LISTS are merged. Now THAT will be a battle royale !!!! :uzi: :smash:

Cool Northern Efficiency will replace Southern Hospitality

You know...there are a couple of "positives" to all of this.

1. The general could be on the street.
2. AA could be crushed.

Nuttin' wrong with that!!

WOW, even in a DAL-USAIR merge thread you couldn' resist bashing AA.

You are my hero!!!!

Let me reiterate: " STAPLE STAPLE STAPLE"

I think it would be patently unfair under any scenario to staple the US/AWA pilots to the bottom of the DAL list. But nice try at flame baiting.
