Also, USairways management formally asked the courts several months a go to make a decision (any management doesn't care which) on the whole usapa/seniority /contract problems. I don't know where the case stands in the system.

Just for clarification purposes, when you say your source "sits on the management side of the table", are you referring to US Airways 'management side of the table' or UAL 'management side of the table'?
Furthermore, US Airways' sudden need to resolve the situation has everything to do with not being able to participate in further industry consolidation.
