I hope that since the new corportation will be operated under Doug Parker's leadership he'll have the sense to can some of the folks over in US HQ.

Great news in any respect.
US Airways name and HP Management team.
More money than anyone could have expected 1,5 Billion from various sources from various sources!
Going to an all Airbus long distance international fleet to europe meaning A330 first and than A350 that means no more B767 to Munich! :)
Flying to Hawaii
Indeed if done right that would be the first low cost full service airline which combines both ways depending on the distance you fly and the class you choose.

the new airline plans to fly all Airbus to Europe sooner than 2011 when the A350 is launched. Airbus will likely supply some more A330s.

I am glad that the 767s are gone and new A330s are coming for transatlatic travel then the new A350. I like what I am hearing from Doug on the conference call.
