US will be lumped together with companies like Bethlehem Steel, the entire US clothing and shoe industry and the US consumer electronics industry (just to name a few) as examples of companies whose employees failed to adapt to massive changes in the marketplace. For many who held tight to their delusions, it was 1955 right up until they closed the doors at the Bethlehem Steel plant in the 1990's.
So complain and resist and dig in your heels and you will be rewarded with the shuttering of the airline. Or see things as they really are and realize that everyone is starting at year 1 with a new airline that has an old name. No one deserves or is entitled to any more that what they bring and produce. Seniority- 10 years? 20 years? 30 years? It really means very little because that money and lifestyle is gone. Your pride will not depend on the past but what you do with the present and the future.
I think the unions will find that their tactics will backfire and cause so much financial harm to the airline, that any mediator will favor the recuperation of the health of an airline over the demands for higher wages and benefits. Realistically, getting the merger completed and moving forward with as little cash burn as possible (the present strategy, apparently) is the only way to put the airline in a position where it can pay reasonable wage increases. Asking it to agree to higher costs in the future while remaining uncooperative in the name of motivating the negotiating progress is ridiculous. Prove what you are worth and you'll have paved the path of negotiating to that figure.
When investors like PAR get fed up with what they see as unsolvable labor issues and take their money, it has to be a wake up call for those who feel they can use their negativity to their advantage. Labor is a huge issue and new money will not come to US simply as a result of buying temporary peace and increasing their operating costs. It will come when all US employees commit to providing excellence in everything they do and inspire investor confidence in US as a winning airline.
Failing that, there's no shortage of airplane parking spaces in the desert.
