The “One regional to rule them all” model obviously CAN be done. AMR did it. On the other hand, AMR was in the process of breaking up that model even before they went bankrupt. USAir came in and clearly didn’t like that model either. I don’t know all the financials behind it, and obviously times have changed, but I’d be surprised if they had that big of a change of heart and merged all three. I could see Piedvoy.
I’m a little surprised that they are still giving flying to non-WO. They are paying us all to stay home, why are they also shoveling money out the door to other contractors?
I’m perfectly happy to get paid to do nothing, and I have friends at those airlines, so I hope they don’t run pulled out from under them. That said, I’m surprised AAG lawyers haven’t found their way out of those contracts yet.

they threatened to sell it every four years at amendment rounds, but there was never a move to break it up.
they did start increasing the outsourcing, but not until they were already in bankruptcy getting direction from their future new masters....
The vendors are in for a tougher ride than the WO’s

I have always thought it would be PSA and Piedmont to merge to keep the relative size of the eventual two WOs close.
