Lee Moak of the Air Line Pilots Association told reporters that passenger airlines are still too vulnerable to fuel price spikes and other business conditions that threaten industry profitability.
USA320Pilot comments: I believe it is unlikely that US Airways can merge with another legacy carrier until the pilot seniority integration is complete. Most companies and thier labor groups would not want to merge with an airline that they cannot integrate with to obtain merger benefits.
