After the stunt they pulled? NOPE.
Its a shame too, i recently flew with them across the atlamti, and they had really good service. Its a shame a few bad apples in the union abuse their power and take out their own problems on everyone else. Its best to remember it is only a few flight attendants who caused this problem, the others followed because they thought they had to. I also think its time some of these CEO's need to start taking the pay cuts that they expect from employees. They earn the 6 figures a year.

There are sources in US who say they could liquidate by the middle of this month. Others by March.

Buddy, you don't live in Philly. We can't WAIT to get rid of them.  Their dominance of International has lead to terrible service by everyone else, and they are the only ones that have consistent baggage and delay problems. USAir had been wobbling around with it's head cut off for nearly two years now, and now with this new disaster it's done, people just won't fly them anymore.
