Company Watch - US Airways.Sep 24, 2007 Delta Air Lines, US Airways and Continental Airlines led major carriers in expanding payrolls in July, taking on new workers after the industry slashed its job ranks over the prior four years. Sep 18, 2007 US Airways is still largely divided into "East" and "West" groups, with only the airport and reservations agents working under a joint contract. "What you've got is an airline running a virtual merger, operating as 'US Airways' in name only," said a spokesman for a flight attendants' union. "Two separate and distinct airlines are operating under the US Airways banner, with two separate scheduling systems, two dispatch systems and two maintenance programs." Sep 21, 2007 US Airways has broken ground on a new $25 million flight operations center that will combine centers now in Pittsburgh and Phoenix. Sep 19, 2007 Negotiators for US Airways pilots will not attend contract talks with management and former America West pilots unless pilots in the East group receive pay parity with those in the West group. "We need a level playing field," said Arnie Gentile, communications officer with the Air Line Pilots Association's US Airways unit. A spokeswoman for the West ALPA unit said that East pilots would be violating a transition agreement if they pull out of negotiations. Sep 19, 2007 US Airways, once Pittsburgh International Airport's marquee carrier, flew fewer than 40 percent of the airport's passengers last month for the first time in its 15-year history, Allegheny County Airport Authority officials said on Sept. 14.
