PIT invited to compete for US Airways center

[rjh]

The lesser chance of losing employees would be CLT. PHX SOC would consider it and nearly half of OCC is Piedmont. That said still look for PHX but we will see.

Good point ..over half the people I've talked to in SOC says they would consider CLT, but definitely not PIT.

BofA is based in Charlotte. They, N.C., and Charlotte have been after US Airways for years to move to CLT (evidenced by the training center). I'll bet it moves here if PHX is not a foregone conclusion. Great place to live too.
P.S.- PIT doesn't "deserve" anything.

What's wrong with PIT? It's the nicest city in the US.

We Arizonans love our hot summers and mild winters

CLT would be sort of "middle ground" between the 2 climates.

Count me as an Arizonan who could do without the hot summers.

Saw no mention of MOC and the other groups.........or is it a given that where one goes, all will go??

The letter from Al C. says they are still evaluating whether or not other areas (MOC, scheduling) need to be in the SOC/OCC "complex" ..can't imagine why they wouldn't stay with SOC.

That was my line of thought too.........not sure how they are grouped on the east though. Heard rumblings too, that since corporate is in PHX, the main brains of the operation would stay too.

Oh, I'm sure that you'd get no complaints from crew schedulers or maintenance controllers if they were to move and their bosses were to stay in PHX.

I think that would go for most employees.

BoFA no longer cares after BK II.

I don't know why B of A would care where the SOC/OCC would go. It is not like it would make LGA flights impervious to weather. :blink:

I think it would have more to do with bringing extra revenue-tax base-to the home city.

Happens all the time here in Houston with the oil companies

PIT deserves it (considering how the airline has shat upon it) but doubt it will get it.

AND ALLEGHENY COUNTY HAS JUST BEEN A "PLEASURE" TO WORK WITH !!!!!!!!
