Probably not as long as you've worked for a loser company.

That's OK. They've paid me well north of $3 million so far in wages alone. In retrospect, maybe it hasn't been all that much of a loser.

Following the merger, I'm told the two-letter code will be IV.

Dude, lighten up and take a chill pill, calling people names is not within the board etiquette and makes you lose your focus.

IIRC, when America West asked IATA for a two letter code assignment,(this was in '82 when a lot of new entrants from the first wave of post dereg start-ups were still around and hogging codes) they were given a choice of two: HP and VD.


Because of the number of airlines in the world and the finite limit on two letter codes, not all carriers can have a "vanity" code that matches the name. Airlines that were around in in the 1950's got to pick the "good codes". (AF, UA, LH, AA, JL, etc). Younger carriers have to take what is left. US Airways did not come by the two letter "US" code easily. It used to belong to the USAF Military Airlift Command. They agreed to pick up "MC" after the demise of Muse Air. (Remember them?), freeing up the "US" code and enabling (then) USAir to change from "AL"



[Why, oh why, do I waste brain cells remembering junk like this???]

Sort of on topic: what is America West's three letter ICAO code?

And if you remember, American Airlines wanted the US code and lost.

Why would AA want the "US" code?

AWE

American, I think it was Mr Crandel, said that if anyone should have the US code it should be AMERICAN. So at that point he argued that American=US. Prior to USAirways getting the US code, it was used by the goverment.

I thought when America West was just starting out and they were running everything through their Hub Phoenix. Just a little guessing so many years ago.
