New York, yes......Washington and Philadelphia, no. They are not the three largest markets. That said, you may be right......if so, god help the AA pilots! I wouldn't want to be thrown into a pilot group that included US Air pilots, they have their heads up their ass and I can only imagine what ridiculous demands they would make for that seniority list!
