But finally it seems we both agree it would have been better for both sides (AA pilots and US Airways pilots), if we didn't merge ! We'd keep our failing airline destined to liquidation and you'd keep your profitable one layered on a bed of roses. That was my point. You apparently agree highlighting AA's apparent worthlessness compared to US Airways and so why would you want to join that and become part of the dreaded APA in the process ?

Finally, we're both on the same page about something.
