Newark Merger Integration Test City

On August 1 America West will move its Newark ATO and Operations to US Airways' gates. US Airways currently leases four gates with one sub-leased to Independence Air, one will be used by America West, and two will be used by US Airways. The merger integration team will test a joint CRS, IT, Customer Service, Gate, Ramp, Maintenance, and Operational procedures at Newark prior to full scale implementation by the new US Airways.

US has no maintenance in EWR.

 

[USA320Pilot]

Yes it does, it is contracted out, which will be tested at Newark for the combined company.

Congrats to EWR on being the guinea pig and best of luck. B)

I'm surprised they didnt pick PHL!

Any update on when US can expect to take over ground handling for HP in east coast stations that are currently being handled by AA/CO/whoever? Will this happen this fall?

What stations system wide have actual HP employees?

 

[tadjr]

In TPA currently handled by CO. No HP agents. CO cant wait to get rid of them from what I'm hearing on the employee bus. They are supposedly on a month to month right now (or when their contract ends) and I would expect US to be handling them before the end of the year and probably by Oct. HP was in town yesterday looking at things.

As far as I know, with the exception of hubs, HP has actual employees in:
DCA IAD BWI CMH ATL BOS ORD LAX SEA SFO JFK DFW RDU

AND is handled in:
TPA---CO
PIT---AA
PHL---CO

And we can't wait to get rid of CO. Phooey on them. HP farts in their general direction. Their mothers were hamsters and their fathers smelt of elderberries.

MCO---CO

SAN, SNA, BUR, ONT, SJC, OAK, PSX, SLC, ABQ, DEN, OMA, ELP, IAH, as well as PHX and LAS are HP employees.

Not sure of BOI, MCI, MKE, STL, CLE, BDL and MIA.

It's tough to believe that EWR has only 4 gates, and no MTC. When I worked there from 1979-1989, we had 9 gates with 11 RON A/C. There was a full MTC Dept. along with a GSE Shop as well. After the PI/US Merger, EWR boarded well over
100k Psgrs. per month. Fast forward 16 years, and look just how far we have gone backwards...

actually, in dca, delta ground handles HP i only know this because my dad was a manager there back in 1995-1998 when hp asked him to do the ground work. to this day i think delta still does the groundl handling.

HP has their own mechs in PHL on 3rd shift....3 of the 4 are furloughed US mechs.

Par usual....USA320Pilot is speaking about something that he has only limited knowledge of...but he elects only to argue with 700.

EWR does not have "Contract Maintenance" in any dedicated manner at all...so to imply that we do have Maintenance there is as false as false can be. <_<

EWR has had a number of problems in the past where our Maintenance , Stores and other assets have had to be sent from PHL to address things , that the so-called Contract Maintenance couldn't or often wouldn't handle...or couldn't be reached to begin with , its a shell of an operation at best as opposed to having actual dedicated Maintenance there as we once did.

Planes on the RON in EWR have had needs..that required outside the station support...and often the outside support from either PIT , CLT or PHL arrived before the Contract Maintenance worker did. How dedicated is that USA320Pilot?

Please do not state any more falsehoods to try to make your feeble points...you have already exceeded your goals for "Brownie Points" and that of about a 1000 others ta-boot. :down:

No it does not, if mtc is needed they contact a "on-call" vendor, there is not anyone there full-time watching US' planes. It is only on a as needed basis. Nothing preventative is done, only when a problem arises and maybe they get lucky and get a vendor that knows what they are doing.

Don't let the facts get in your way.

And I think the Canadian US employees are CAW.
