US Air, what do you think will happen?

[Wings Level]

Well I believe actions speak loader than words. Although USAir
is technically close to a Chap 11 position, management is probably confident that they have a solution to avoid it. Otherwise they would not spend all their time and focus putting the plan together to get the RJs.

They are just using the bankruptcy threat to keep pilots in fear of losing there jobs and as a means of implimenting salary concessions. My bet is that we will likely see an announcement soon that they got the $1 bil loan and they are moving forward to buy the jets.

Then we can watch everyone have a major dispute about who is going to fly the new airplanes...

I would say for all of those pilots who work for airlines that are making a little money and that have a valid plan, they need to hope for approval of the government loan. Competing with an airline sliding down the drain in chapter 11 will only hurt the remaining carriers.

Last I heard the negotiations broke down again for jets, anybody have any news on that? I think they (mainline) are asking for to much.

There hasnt been an update since last Thursday.
