I think that the irony of this is that America West was the only company that probably even considered taking on all of the employees at Airways--all others would have only wanted airplanes, gates, and especially slots and would have never acquired or "merged" the employees. Had airways been acquired or merged with a non ALPA carrier they would have been stapled for sure--thats what American does and also what Southwest does.
Seems to me that USAIR has had a lot of problems with decent management since Ed Colodny retired....BTW if as you claim 80% of the present profits come from the east side why couldn't you make any money before AWA management took over?
