US Airways Gets Some Breathing Room |

December 23, 2004
While the contract concessions are helpful, US Airways has lots more work ahead of it, according to industry analysts. The airline is still in negotiations for similar contract give-backs from the International Association of Machinists mechanics, fleet service workers and maintenance training specialists. A week ago US Airways reached a deal with its flight attendants after talks had broken down and threatened to turn ugly. Before signing off on $94 million in contract concessions, the union had threatened to stage spot strikes throughout the US Air system during the peak of the holiday travel period. US Airways executives have a goal of securing $1 billion in labor savings and pension commitments, as part of their deal for new financing arrangements with its major creditors and the U.S. government. Without the sessions, the carrier says it would probably start liquidating in January. Report Your Experience
