If anything happens between the two companies I suspect it would be an asset transfer. The only problem, it is hard to find an "asset" in anything from USAir.
I'm not an advocate of US Airways by any means. I'd much rather be working at AMR. However, before making comments regarding the "toxicity" and poor asset of US Airways, keep in mind that they are the only legacy to turn a profit last quarter.
