Looks like UsAir is borrowing a page from the DAL/NWA merger this time around by agreeing to labor agreements first and bringing labor on board as it should be.
"A New Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Pilots of American Airlines
APA has agreed with US Airways on a framework for a new collective bargaining agreement. Our agreement will be distilled into final contract language during the next 60 days and will be sent out for a membership ratification vote as specified in APA's Constitution and Bylaws. Details on the specifics of the new CBA will be provided in a separate, upcoming communication from the APA Negotiating Committee. Please click here to access our special AA-US Airways merger page on the members' side of alliedpilots.org. This page will be updated regularly as additional information becomes available.".
Good for them! The conventional wisdom is that management has you by the sack when they file CH11. I'm glad they are thinking outside the box! They certainly have plenty of case studies to learn from!
