Throw in the Covid furloughs and it’s anyone’s guess at what a blood bath a merger would be with an unlike carrier.

What I’m saying is... AW did not “save” USAirways. Without the mergers both companies would have went out of business. Reason USAirways guys are bitter is because of the seniority integration.. or lack of one.

My original comment was in response to someone saying “Just look how bitter US Air guys were when America West saved them......”
You really should read about the merger. America West did not buy USAirways, USAirways did not buy America West.
Again.. how much did AW buy USAirways?

Ok- now I’m sure I don’t get your point... what is it, exactly- especially with regard to “reverse takeover?” The USAirways guys were HORRENDOUSLY bitter...
After Nicolau.
