How do you figure they are the two weakest airlines in America?
I don't see it that way.
AS a pilot for the USAIRways side, I will remind people that these two airlines have talked about mergers since the late 90's early 2000's. Indeed there was talk of just tossing out the bottom 600 pilots at usair for seniority integration.
I think it is more likely to see an invasion of the USA by Cuba than a merger of these airlines.
I'd love to see alpa try to justify putting a 22 year pilot with usair on the bottom of the list at united. Talk about your experience in the cockpit.
