Have any of you heard when new signage will go up at US Airways ticket counters? When airport ticket counter and gate locations will change? When aircraft will be painted in the American livery? Any rumors if Parker will dump that eagle-thing logo for something recognizable?

CNBC (I think it was) said something about Jan 7th for the name change. Strictly rumor, of course.
Ticket counters will take more time. Some places probably a few weeks after the POR is signed. Other places may take a few months as the airport plays musical chairs. IMHO. (Personally, I can't wait to move MAD ops to the Iberia terminal, and LHR ops out of Siberia.)
Painting the fleet will take years, IMHO. The USAirways name will come off the planes fairly quickly, but the US livery will stay until the airplane is otherwise in for paint/major maintenance.
If Parker has his way, the new AA livery will remain as is. Parker is eternally puzzled that his employees have such an emotional stance on the livery. He says the customers don't care, and he's probably right. The customers have the money; the employees don't. You do the math. IMHO.

Which crew base will close first? Perhaps DCA for the US side. How many does AA have?

I too heard January. Already had someone ask me who I work for today (answered US Airways), and they responded; "Isn't American Airlines buying you guys?" I just answered, "yes, yes they are, and it's a good thing."

DCA ??? I don't think so. Maybe waaay down the line PHL, if the people that run that airport don't pull their collective heads out. Just joking, not serious.nevergiveup said:

Just to save money.....crew room....CP....secs...ect. Hope they don't. I hope the new regs give an incentive to have more crew bases.700UW said:
