Default Trans States USX flying

With the looming schedule reduction in PIT, I'm curious what plans have been announced (if any) for TSA's US Airways flying. I saw that Airways had proposed destinations out of PIT for TSA, but that it was up to TSA to decide to do those routes or not as their flying is at-risk prorate...and that service to both STL and RIC will be reduced.

How many planes do you all have flying on the Airways side?

And we're supposedly adding 6 planes to the UX side. Five for additional routes, one dedicated spare.

God, I can't wait to fly an EP out of ORD or IAD with approach yelling at us to hurry the hell up...

I got stuck with that piece of crap for the majority of a three-day last month.
Turns out EP actually stands for "extra parts."

So what is the deal with the Airways flying? Whenever I flew it back in my time with TSA, we were always empty to half-full...that's no way to run "at-risk" flying...?!

To answer your question, no one knows. They've said they're adding planes to united but no one knows where they're coming from. There was a question and answer time with management, but they wouldn't answer any questions about it. So your guess is as good as any. My guess is it will be scaled back, but just not sure how much.
