That's not what senior management has told some in ALPA and myself. In fact, it's understood that United is not going to get the loan guarantee again, without major cost cuts.
However, there is a move within US Airways to pull out of the United and Star alliances and cut a deal with Northwest, who made overtures to Morgan Stanley.
Prior to US Airways agreeing to a deal with United on the code share program, Northwest and US Airways had a verbal agreement for the two to develope an alliance, but Siegel pulled out at the last minute. In fact, I was told the Northwest alliance papers were on Siegel's desk in CCY. Northwest understands how a merger with US Airways could kill off United for good and they just may make a move on the Arlington-based airline.
