I think I know the answer but back in 2000, USAirways had something in the pilots contract that if a base is closed, after 6 months or so on the market, the company will buy the house at fair market.

Granted fair market in way down but atleast the home would be sold.

I think there was a clause about "focus city" since that was the reason PIT was never fully closed.

Did this go away with the butchering of the bankrupcy contracts?
Is there still some type of clause about this in any form?

Ex-furloughed USAirways, didn't take the recall, just curious.
 
I don't know the answer but I wonder if the airline holds the record for most base closings in industry history?

I'm sure I forgot a few

Yep. A real winner of an airline. I love how the East guys keep saying the America West pilots won a "lottery ticket" when the diseased anchor called US Airways was locked around their necks.

Sure feel lucky...

FWIW: ORF and ILM also. ILM may have closed befor US Air came to play.
 
What's really ironic is the sticker on the sides of the plane displaying all the good airlines it acquired, ruined and assimilated!

Classic!

Be careful, they're likely to burn your furniture if you don't take it all when you move.
