You don't seem to know their history, my friend.
Just ask an original Piedmont or PSA pilot how fairly they felt treated ? DOH or not ...
Fair and equitable doesn't exist anyway ... its just written in lawbooks and legal papers. An ideal that cannot be achieved ... IMHO.
The history of USAir ? In six words:
Merge/acquire slight growth, THEN ... downsize,
Merge/acquire slight growth, THEN ... downsize,
Rinse, repaint the airline and repeat !
I think there's another merger on the horizon for that group, if they ever find a suitable dance partner. And overcome their differences of the present situation.
