Merger Questions and Answers

What happens to our Union?

The National Mediation Board ("NMB") certified the Union as the representative of US Airways Passenger Service Employees during the merger with America West. That certification remains in effect following the recent US Airways-American Airlines merger announcement and will continue to remain in effect throughout the merger process. In other words, your Union will continue to represent you.

Assuming the merger proceeds as planned, there will come a point where the operations and business activities of US Airways and American are integrated to a sufficient extent that the Union will request the NMB to make a determination that the two airlines constitute a “single carrier.” Only the Union or another union with a sufficient showing of interest can ask the NMB to make a single carrier determination. If, after the Union makes the request, the NMB does determine that the operations and business activities of the two airlines have been sufficiently integrated and they are a single carrier, then there will be an election ordered to determine what union, if any, will be the representative of the combined US Airways and American Passenger Service Employees.
