Washington, D.C. The Communications Workers of America today released the following statement on the announcement of the US Airways-American Airlines merger:
This merger is a positive development for employees at both airlines. CWA commends the management of US Airways for recognizing the value of its partnership with union workers and its work to build an even stronger airline going forward.
CWA will actively support this merger throughout the review process.
Under the US Airways management team, this merger offers a huge opportunity for union workers from the reservations office to the cabin to ground operations to work together and create a global model of what flying and work life can be. That's a big plus for customers as well.
Passenger service agents at American Airlines now have an opportunity to get the union voice they want and to join with their colleagues at US Airways, where some 6,000 agents already have union representation.

Noble sentiment, but unfortunately, the vast majority of mergers end with lay-offs...

"Corporate HQ will remain in PHX/Tempe"
Make NO mistake folks...it's going to be old America West management running the show.
I also keep seeing reports saying that USAir had bought America West...that is not correct. It was America West
that took over USAir.

....of personnel considered to be redundant by top management.
Always my first in mind...Northwest and Republic.
