US Airways did not have 500 A 330 slots. They had 10 A 330s which at 6 Captains per jet would be - 60.
Don't go down the path of the Darkside. You guys need to look at NWA/DAL for leadership, not the US Airways mess. 5 years after the merger and there is zero in the way of a new contract and both sides are entrenched. Put it in the hands of the ALPA merger process for the SLI and get the contract in place first.
