Just had to post this paragraph I read on good old A.Net ...

Have to disagree. All early signs point to a US/HP merger and most of this will be moot. If the curtain is to fall on anyone, it will be that overfed pig United. Unlike US, they have done NOTHING to try and exit BK. The timer has been "running out" on US for three years. April may be a bit of a step back, but at the end of the day if they lose $50M or so it's not the end of the world. That coupled with $25M in cash from agreements will only be a $25-$30M cash loss, which wouldn't be the end of the world. US can survive, and as older pilots that make more are phased out more and more the CASM will continue to drop. I have faimly who is due to retire from US soon that make a crapload of $$. This is some of the reason the CASM hasn't dropped yet.
 
*sigh*

I still miss the days when I confidently 'knew it all'. But then, high school band started taking up most of my time, then I discovered women...

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA.

Little does that guy know that even the most JUNIOR FIRST OFFICER at US Airways has seniority greater than 12 years (and 12th year pay is the highest rung on the ladder).

My dad got hired in 1984 and he is still a fairly junior F/O there

Someone was telling me that every USAir pilot on the property right now has, at some point, been a captain.
 
Someone needs to tell this joker how CASM is determined. Does he think the contract is gonna be null and void once the highest seniority guy leaves? Besides, I hate to break it to him, but there's a lot more pilots behind him that MIGHT make it back up to there. So, I guess using his logic, CASM will fluctuate depending on who's driving the bus. I'm glad I'm not a financial planner at his airline......



Dumbass.

Cherokee Cruiser got it exactly right. Each retiring pilot will be replaced by one making exactly as much as he did. It's an "uninformed" opinion to put it lightly.
