Yeah I heard something. I heard they were going to announce it last Friday...and then it was changed to monday...then the second week of May. Now I guess it's going to be tomorrow.

Im not even a pilot and know this is going to be a real bag of S&^% for everyone
Hell they havent figured out what to do with the west pilots yet and now they are going to take on the Pilots of United omg let the games begin

If this merger happens, USAPA will be the shortest lived pilot union ever!

I smell a potential integration disaster... This summer is gonna be fun.

Killing two birds with one stone! All of you who wished for the demise of UAL, well its finally here! Merge with Usair and they will both be gone! TILTON JUST GOT ANOTHER 10.4 MILLION BONUS FOR A GREAT JOB.

I heard CAL was a sure thing too....

Say goodbye to the west pilots if this actually goes through. You gotta hand it to Doug. He took a failing airline, put it together with another failing airline, and will now likely come out of it smelling like a rose.

I see the west side of USAir disintegrated for DOJ issues, and the rest passing muster.

PuffDriver,

I think you may be confused, the overlap would be on the east cost, not the West. The west has a legal and binding seniority list with quit a few east guys at the bottom where they should be, tough for them.

Not confused at all. United isn't going to have to give up Dulles. UsAir will not have to give up CLT or LGA. West coast has plenty of overlap, however, and PHX and LAS are losers anyway.

As far as the list goes, there isn't any list until a joint contract. This very well may preclude it all. Also, there has recently been a judgement for the MDA pilots with regard to their seniority in the integration. When is binding not binding? Perhaps we may find out. I really have no dog in the fight, just calling it like I see it.

The silver lining in a UAL merger may just be that the East pilots will feel what it's like to unfairly voted out by sheer size. I surmise the UAL pilots will decimate East.

You need glasses.
