US Airways wants more concessions from unions
Beleaguered airline identifies another $800 million in cuts
PITTSBURGH (Post-Gazette) - US Airwas, after extracting $1 billion from unions during bankruptcy, has identified another $800 million in additional cuts it would like to get from labor.
Complete Story: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04134/315394.stm
On Monday, May 17, US Airways senior vice president of corporate development, alliances, and express Bruce Ashby will begin specific "Transformation Plan" discussions with the new ALPA Negotiating Committee (NC), where it is expected the company will provide the pilots union with specific target numbers. The negotiation now is in the hands of the NC, however, the airline has to be restructured by September, so the process will move fairly quickly.
In addition, US Airways ALPA Officers met with their counterparts at other netowrk airlines this week because the US Airways negotiations are expected to be precedent setting and landmark, as all network carriers are watching the unfolding restructuring because they must adapt to the LCC reality too, or fail.
Respectfully,
