US Airways Coast-to-Coast Pilots Express Grave Concerns on Proposed Delta Merger
Friday December 8, 4:41 pm ET
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a meeting with US Airways management on December 6, the leadership of the US Airways and America West pilot groups have expressed significant concerns about the proposed merger with Delta Air Lines. The leaders point out that, by failing to integrate two pilot groups under one contract, US Airways (NYSE: LCC - News) management has not yet properly merged US Airways and America West, demonstrating little chance of completing the merger of a third airline.
Equally important, the pilot groups, both of which are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), International, have determined that US Airways' Delta proposal raises serious issues about the job protections contained in the US Airways and America West contracts, and are questioning the company's ability to move forward with this transaction.
