Keep in mind that everything usair touches turns to ****. Ask the piedmont and America west guys.
Somewhere it was mentioned that U SAir cannot find pilots to bid the E190 A position and may have to displace into it as they cannot hire directly into it.
Don't know. Wouldn't doubt it.
The one thing about UsAir and I hear this from RJ guys, that's the place to go. You'll be in the merger and everyone above them on that list is super old and your progression will be accelerated.
It's something that I think DAL will need to compete against. Come to DAL or go to USAir and be a DFW American Airlines Captain on the 757 long before you can hold a Captain spot at DAL.
Just repeating what I read and hear. ymmv, accuracy may very too.

US Air would have destroyed Delta.

I always thought of Piedmont and America West as lower paying carriers. I think the Piedmont pilots all got huge raises from being bought by USAir. US Airways didn't turn into a crappy place to work until about 13 years ago.

On a lighter note... I wish I could have sent this earlier so the guys crossing the Atlantic tonight would turn off the lights and look outside. Should be pretty cool.

America West was always poorly paid. Piedmont on the other hand was very well paid.

Delta TechOps expands maintenance providership with Hawaiian Airlines
Delta TechOps, Delta Air Lines’ maintenance division and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) provider business, is deepening its long-standing relationship with Hawaiian Airlines to provide an integrated component exchange and repair program for Hawaiian’s fleet of 12 Boeing 767 aircraft. Delta TechOps has provided its Complete Fleet services for Hawaiian since 2009 across its Airbus A330 fleet. This latest announcement furthers that relationship to include component maintenance such as avionics and cabin maintenance for Hawaiian’s Boeing 767 fleet.

Everyone is talking about a DL/Alaska merger, but I think it'll be DL/Hawaiian.

I don't think anything good has happened at usair since the late 80s, more like 25 years ago. They bought, assimilated and ruined both Piedmont and PSA during that time.

Piedmont was a very good, well paying airline before being acquired by USair. Sailingfun lives down that way and may have better insight.
