Yes, that was it ... not that we had voted in a union and then had a merger thrust upon us and both sides VOTED for the keeping the CWA and TEAMSTERS and formed our alliance. Come on John, you can do better than this. Mama

I dont remember any agents taking any concessions for HP agents, forgive me???? If you did, Thank you. By the way I am not the vocab expert. Only when I think we have finally moved on... especially after flight 1549 to find we are still arguing things that happened 3 years ago and over which we had no control or input. Mama

Are you trying to be ignorant of the name of the company we merged with three years ago?
If not, then that speaks volumes.

Well yeah.........EWR was a base but was shut down after the pilots wouldn't agree to drive across the river (common base) or fly Beeches. Barnes shipped them all to PIT after he told the pilots he would never shut EWR and then did 2 weeks later.

Perhaps it will.
Can anyone tell me how you can put an airline through not one but TWO Chapter 11 BK's, outsource more than 1/3 of your flying to code share regional airlines and still have the highest seat mile cost in the industry?
As Rakesh would say, "Such a conundrum!"

Why should it matter-we have the franchise.
Who needs routes spread out over the country or world for that matter.
If only the other airlines had the advantage we have on the east then they to would have a franchise (at least it was after EA went under).

I hope that was tongue in cheek, because that franchise didn't keep US out of BK twice or from facing liquidation in the 2nd BK. Meanwhile HP may not have had the franchise but they had something better - costs low enough to allow them to slug it out with WN year after year.

Lower than US.
So if HP had express and US has even more express before and after the merge and express cost more to operate and WN has no express and has lower cost it seems to be the answer to lower cost is less express flying. I’m sure some beautiful minds will say I am wrong
