Seamless won't seem so seamless without customer service working together under one contract.

I remember when they did that with TWA.  It's sad, but it has to happen.

So this is the end of jumpseat reservation for now I guess. Any word on when the new system will be operating?

 

[robbedagain]

The last flight, SFO-PHL, has been renumbered 1939, the year USAir's parents were started....and I think Ed Colodny will be on board. I have met him before, sharing a shuttle flight about 10 years ago--very nice man.

Ask him for a quarter.

Ask him for a quarter.

 
Classless comment by a complete idiot.

Wrong you are clueless.

After Piedmont and US merged we were having a union vote and Colodny sent every fleet service worker a letter with a quarter that was called the "Colodny Gaurantee", to call him if you had any problems so you wouldn't viote for a union.

So you are the clueless one, instead of attacking someone maybe you should have asked for an explanation.

They voted the union down and then US imposed several rounds of concessions on them after the no vote.

So you are the clueless one, instead of attacking someone maybe you should have asked for an explanation.
 

 
If you had an "explanation" you should have offered it instead of whining that I should have asked for one.
 
And your post is still classless and idiotic.

He's planning on it. There's a thread on here somewhere about it...

A ceremonial final flight for US Airways Flight 1939 is slated for Oct. 16 and will land in Philadelphia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Phoenix; and San Francisco. It notably ignores Pittsburgh, the city where the airline began....

Well if the county wasn't so nasty towards US they might get some love in return - look how long it took the county to agree to let US and AA to co-locate
