You know its bad when the shuttle AND a Hub is on the market.
Watch Mesa pick up the EMB-170 and CRJ-200 delivery positions and PSA. NW will make a play for PHL. Folks, really, I don't see how US can shrink anymore and still survive. Granted, my hunch is this "leak" was timed at just the right moment. Regardless, clearly Bronner is looking to recoup his investment sooner rather than later.
(Oh, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised too if Mesa was talking to jetBlue about operating the EMB-170 for them. Or, UA just found its ACA replacement at IAD should Mesa dump US or vice versa.)

jetBlue will not outsource their RJ flying, as a certain executive flat out said they believe it was a mistake that other carriers have made.

Personally I think Express is what can save US, it is hard to believe that this is available for the taking. Unless they are really in a deep hole now, which I can believe as June isn't going to come any sooner and covenants will need to be met.Jon153 said:

Hey Everyone:
Former PSA/USAir employee here (remember CCR?). 'Been following these message boards for some time and thought I'd add my two cents. I believe this to be nothing more than typical posturing on management's part in order to get ALPA, AFA, and IAM back to the table. I am rooting for USAirways' survival and hope you guys can come to a mutually beneficial and workable plan that assures your long-term success. Best of luck to everyone.
Best,
JAMAKE
P.S. I'm from the old school of air travel: Bring back the glassware and audio!!!

I don't doubt its a last ditch, but at the same time why not see if there are buyers out there? I would not doubt that jetBlue would love to get a hold of the Shuttle as much as AA once did, plus get a presence at LGA.
The big asset sales is nothing new in the biz, lets see whos done this before:
Pan Am, Eastern, TWA to name a few... where are they now? hmm..
The clock is ticking and the unions should get on the ball IMHO.

What does everyone expect. This is a business, and with the chain of events, the road labor has been going down, what would you do if you were running the company?
It doesn't matter who is to blame, finger pointing is a waste of time. Beside, all parties own a piece of this....
Ya, we really showed them didn't we...if this wasn't so sad, it would funny.
Funny how the timing of this is after dave throws his temper tantrum and don't let facts get in the way, the ATSB loan gaurantee has the LGA and DCA slots as collateral, can't sell something that is pledged as collateral.
