US Airways – United Airlines Update
Today US Airways Phoenix station manager Ron Roderick told me US Airways will move its Los Angeles gates and facilities from terminal 1 to United’s terminal 7 in January. It appears the move will be similar in scope to the recent move in Seattle where United rejected gates N10 and N11, US Airways took custody of the former gates/associated facilities, and United lowered its unit costs by creating “economies of scaleâ€.
Rodick also said the business partners have each signed an agreement for ServiceAir, Inc. to provide cargo handling for both companies.
Today the New York Times published an article titled "A Plan to Postpone Pension Financing at United", which the PBGC is expected to resist forcefully.

US Airways continues to make progress in re-painting its aircraft in the current paint scheme. Line reports indicate the Boeing aircraft are being painted first with many B737s and B757s sporting the shiny new finish. From a rhetorical perspective, does it make sense in today’s economic climate for the company to bare this expense if the airline or a substantial number of its assets were going to be sold?
