... All of this knowledge...Very credible indeed.
The knowledge comes from US on these very forums. In no particular order, let me give a sample of the knowledge I received on these forums courtesy of the employees of US Airways...
In 2005 America West bought US's @$$ out of oblivion. This "merger" is going very well as long as you aren't paying attention.
Not sure the year, but Mergin Doug attempted and failed a hostile takeover of Delta while in...drum roll please...BK!
A depressed Dug gets a DWI, he obliously didn't pay the right politician. Maybe Delta did.
You must have missed 2008, that basically wasn't a good year for US. It started with The Great Duct Tape Debate of '08, when US employees went on a smear campaign to show US's delipidated planes with duct tape as a miracle fix to anything. From floor carpeting to 1st class seats. Why if you duct tape copy paper, you have a curtain or movie screen!
Then came the cracks on WN aircraft, and the US vultures gloated beyond belief. Then Air Karma came along and parts of US aircraft, including something with a landing gear, started coming off due to a gremlin.
When Delta merged with Northwest, US began chatting a merger with United, which fizzled but was revived when United went for Continental and US was left empty handed.
I can write the next 10 Airplanes based on your airline. There is oh, sooo much, but let me share the true identity of US. When 1549 landed as safely as possible in the Hudson, US finally came together like never before. When Sully's picture came up, everybody oohhhh and aahhh all over the place.
...then someone mentioned that he was wearing his 20 year ALPA pin.
How's that for knowledge? And I haven't scratched the surface.
