The two certificates have NOT been merged. Still operate with 2 pilot groups, 2 flight attendant groups, 2 scheduling depts, 2 dispatch locations, 2 training depts ... clear as mud ?
So the Cactus you hear in USAir colors, is simply an America West aircraft painted in US colors ...
If you hear USAir, it is the original ...
Does that answer your question ?

We're keeping the "Cactus" callsign whenever we merge the certificates. A brand new facility will be built to accomadate the entire airline. The new Operations Control Center (OCC) will be located in Pittsburgh. Construction is scheduled to begine this year and open in 2009.

That means you haven't seen USAir OCC in PIT. Probably the best in the industry. I think the callsign will be "cactus". If they don't get labor together I think they'll be separate until somebody buys the divided workforce and staples them all to the bottom or some other windfall like the AmWest guys are primarily celebrating right now. Cite NWA, green,red, blue-book. Hope they get it together, both are great pilot groups.

Last I heard the cactus call sign goes systemwide when the certificates are merged this fall. The operation will be merged but the groups stay separate until a single contract is reached and Parker is presented the seniority list by ALPA.
I'm not holding my breath on any of it.
