Here’s what I publicly reported about this bankruptcy proceeding, which was the first public disclosure of this information:
US Airways would file for Chapter 11 on September 12.
US Airways had hired Arnold & Porter and the investment banking boutique Seabury Group as the company’s advisors.
The company’s primary cost cut targets will be labor contracts and aircraft/facility leases.
The airline would like consensual new labor accords, but if necessary would impose new contracts with temporary changes due to the S.1113(e) process and then use the S.1113/S.1114 process, if necessary.
Every day that goes by company labor proposals would get worse.
The formal restructuring could take about 120 days. The company wants to submit its plan of reorganization (POR) by the end of the year. Why? The new business plan is in place and the only major thing left to do is to reject contracts and then fill in the numbers for the disclosure statement and POR.
Guess what? I was right.
Respectfully,

P.S. According to ALPA's attorney's the company could now seek to furlough out of seniority in all work groups.
