The New Us Airways

[delldude]

Clue by Four:

ITS ALL ABOUT COST, USAIR CAN FLY REDEYES FULL AND STILL LOSE MONEY WITH TODAY IS COST, HOWEVER ONCE THE CONTRACTS ARE IMPLEMENTED( FEB 5 2005) COST SHOULD COME DOWN AND USAIR CAN MAKE A PROFIT EVEN IN SWA OR JBLUE TERRITORY. IT IS ALL ABOUT COST...... ( THAT IS WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE)

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE.

amt4u, flying those redeyes is all about cost. The relevant cost at US Airways is unit cost (i.e., CASM). Flying those redeyes increases the number of hours in the day that the capital assets are used, which amortizes the capital costs over more RSMs.

Take a look at the big picture.

You are missing the point.

It is to obtain permanent cost reductions, not a temporary reprise leading to a return to the uncompetitive cost structure of old.

I have not seen the IAM proposal that 700UW talks about, but I can hazard a guess that in comparison to the company's one..., It has temporary cuts, rather than the company agreement, that the IAM would have to slowly negotiate improvements to in the future...

Actually, I'm not.

No where in my post did I suggest temporary cost cuts.

I AM trying to find out the composition of the IAM proffer.

My point is, if, as the IAM says, they met the ask, why would the company give a rat's a$$ about how they got there?

And while I have reserved a dose of skepticism about the IAM proffer, I am downright cynical with regards to the company.

Try it sometime. It's liberating.
