Excellent......keep em coming.......the sooner we consolidate the facilites, the less money we spend.......I wish we would have done some facility consolidation with UAL when we started the code share. Definitly steps in the right direction.

Any idea what they're doing with SEA? Is HP moving in with US and UA or is US moving out of the North terminal?

Ditto with DCA, is HP really giving up their 1-2 gates and moving to C/B with US? Is someone else moving? I'll be surprised if they just let the gates go without leasing others in B.

I believe that US is moving back to south end of terminal and will be using A concourse. I still don't know about combined operations, and the fate of ourrelationship with UA.

The ticket counters at LAX are right next to one another and when I came home the other night I noticed temporary signs over both counters with both HP & US names on them.

Also, at LAX HP has been renting hangar space from AA. HP is moving over to the US hangar, which will save the company about $50,000. a month.

Is the long term plan still for US Airways to move to the United terminals across the airport?

In EWR, the counters will be moved as soon as the construction is complete. America West is adding a CTX, currently we do not have one here, but once the CTX is in place the counters will merge. As far as fleet service, US has their own and HP is contracted out to DGS. We are not sure who will get the work, rumor is US FSA's will be GONE ! ! ! Also gone is paying Worldwide $300 a move for RON aircraft.

In DCA HP will be moving to our end of the terminal and the airport is presently in a gate reallocation stage. Air Canada and HP will likely change places , but the problem is the gate that AC leases from UAL. If the airport just exchanges the gates and tells UAL they don't need the gate it's done. But they might just tell us that we really don't need the 15th gate and to work out scheduling.

I didn't know that US had hangar space at LAX.

US has had small hangar in LAX for years, it is old TWA hangar I believe.

Hope,
What class station is EWR?

That's one downside of this merger that struck me almost immediately. It probably will mean that US Airways will not be moving to the United terminal at LAX.

Which means, of course, that US Airways and America West customers and employees will have to continue to elbow their way through the "great unwashed" -- aka the Southwest crowd -- to get to their gates.

And if there are any Southwest agents here, do you suppose you could suggest to those $29 cretins that they could make a 90-degree turn in the queue at every gate, instead of lining up from one side of the terminal to the other, impeding everybody's else's progress through the building?

EWR is a class 2 city with something like 60 or more mainline jet flights a week but under the old JAN 2005 contract if they go below 57 a week, it can be outsourced

 

[Hope777]

700, we are a class two city that has gone below the 65 flights per week about three months ago. Per the contract it can not be contracted out for the next nine months, however anything is possible. It is also my understanding that the Deicing work is out on the market for bid, work that has been done by the FSA group for the last two years.

Well, in LAS we've moved back to that craphole A terminal. 🙁

Now there is even more of a case to have the checkpoints split half for US and half for SW.
