ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Communications Workers of America (CWA), which represents approximately 6,300 reservations workers and airport ticketing and gate agents, today reached a tentative agreement with US Airways on additional cost-cutting measures as part of the company's restructuring.

These next two days will be interesting. I think the IAM and AFA are the remaining two unions that haven't reached an agreement.

Bear in mind that these are not done deals yet--they (the CWA rank and file) still need to vote it up or down. That vote should close by 12/31.

Saving the world, one clue at a time.

Spoke to a FA today on my flight. She said that the rank and file will not vote on any new agreement. The negotiating commitee has full control.

Thought that was interesing.

Please please please keep us flying.
