Hey *deleted my moderator*,
The person that started this thread isn't even a US Airways employee, but a customer. If U does wind up with some of UAL, be happy to have a job, because it will likely be at the expense of over 1800 U pilots and many more from other groups that are presently furloughed. I, for one, think that entire industry might be better off if UAL just shriveled up and died, and it looks like it's headed in that direction. The difference is, the US congress will likely come to your rescue. They did just about everything they could to derail U so far.

Oldie,
I don't agree. Outside the pension issue for ALPA, the government has done everything there is to save U. Our Republican congress is bending over backwards for Corporations. Specifically in U's case. The ATSB guarantee approval as well as the "bail out funding grant money given to U in 2001 for well over $300 million tax payer dollars to recover some losses from a 3 day of airport shutdown and for the National airport closure. So, I don't think the gov. hasn't done its fair share of assisting this Industry. Our Industry is not regulated by the government, so it is not soley responsible to bail out our industry as well as other industries and sustain them from failure to infinity
