Additionally, there is potential for CO/UA and HP/US to have new contracts by the end of 2015, hopefully with significant pay raises.
AMR made this part of their "Last, Best and Final Offer to the Allied Pilots Association".
As the APA has explained, this agreement would limit their down-side risk exposure. I would tend to agree. At least AMR could not void their current contract through bankruptcy and it still leaves the door open for a US Airways, AMR tie-up which I think would be a better contract and most certainly, a stronger company.
