USAir & AMR merger

[Flyby1206]

MMmmmm what is APA's merger policy?

Clickity-clack! Get out the Swingline

The question is, who will staple whom?

Probably be a tag team/body slam, east US/American vs America West.

 

[Bringupthebird]

Ummm yeah, because if US merges with American, Parker will offer Delta +1% to get a combined pilot group.

HA! HA! HA! Do you really think Parker has to offer anything? He'll throw the whole mess into BK and turn the judges loose on the contracts.

In case anyone hasn't told you, LOA93 is the highest wage rate that any merged group will ever see courtesy of

USAPA

What are you smoking? Throw the whole thing into bankruptcy? Just like he threw the combined US/AWA into bankruptcy? Pleeeease, try and think before you post.

No, ALPA put you there, USAPA is keeping you there.

New Name?

Throw out AWA/US Air/ American and bring back a classic. New Name of the whole combined merger: TWA! Bring back some class and dignity.

 

[Lampshade]

Pick one:

US/AA merger= Fantastic for US, bad for AA
Delta/AA merger= Great for Delta, galacticly horrific for AA

I agree. How about Peidmont or PSA?

 

[Hpilot]

Pick one:

US/AA merger= Fantastic for US, bad for AA
Delta/AA merger= Great for Delta, galacticly horrific for AA

One more option:

Emerge alone= Bad for US/Delta, Horrendously bad for AA

Let me clarify something for you. There is no money to make an AMR/US merger happen. This is very different from US/AWA. The entire merger rests on preserving BK wages across the board. USAPA is Parker's key accomplice in ensuring this happens.

Delta plus 1%? You must be flying the Dreamliner.

This is your wakeup call.

Your USAPA fixes don't seem to stay fixed, do they? Except for shamefully low wages, that is.

Want to tout USAPA's achievements? Go right ahead. This should be good.

That's true, also no new contract, AWA guys getting paid more on the same aircraft, and the binding award is following you. DP also gets to have larger bonuses.


Godspeed!

Wrong again as always. AWA pilots make less on the 757. The upgrades and pilots moving to line holders has given many East pilots raises. A furloughed West pilot could bid Capt on the East. The Nic will never be used.

Hey we're not talking about you and your credit rating. Parker has a proven track record of making the investors in a merger money. They're already breaking his door down with funds.

Yes, it is very different from US/AWA. The revenue gains and synergy in this merger would probably be much bigger.

 

[Full of LUV]

Pick one:

US/AA merger= Fantastic for US, bad for AA
Delta/AA merger= Great for Delta, galacticly horrific for AA

Delta/AA merger good for Delta? Maybe corporate bonuses, but pilots from both companies will feel real pain if that were the outcome. Too many synergies!

How about the airbus? That is the largest fleet you have, and the AWA guys make more per hour. The binding award will follow you, and it will catch you too. It's called binding arbitration. If you merge with AA, the APA will be voted in thanks to the West guys. DP really wants to merge with someone it seems.


Godspeed!
