History

Heritage

US Airways traces its history to All American Aviation Company, a company founded by du Pont family brothers Richard C. du Pont and Alexis Felix du Pont, Jr.. Hubbed in Pittsburgh, the airline served the Ohio River valley in 1939. In 1949, the company was renamed All American Airways as it switched from airmail to passenger service. The company was again renamed, to Allegheny Airlines, in 1952. All American Aviation Company later All American Airways was founded by Richard C. du Pont and Alexis Felix du Pont, Jr. ...

Allegheny Airlines (IATA: AL, ICAO: ALO, and Callsign: Allegheny) was an airline based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ...

Allegheny expanded progressively, introducing the Douglas DC-9 in 1966 and absorbing Lake Central Airlines in 1968 and Mohawk Airlines in 1972 to become one of the largest carriers in the northeastern United States. The Douglas DC-9 is a twin-engined jet airliner, first manufactured in 1965 and, in much modified form and under a succession of different names. ... Lake Central Airlines was an airline that served points in the midwestern United States from 1951 to 1968, when it was merged into Allegheny Airlines. ... Mohawk Airlines was an airline that operated in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, primarily the states of New York and Pennsylvania from the mid-1940s until its acquisition by Allegheny Airlines in 1972. ...

But with expansion came growing pains: by the 1970s Allegheny Airlines had earned the nickname "Agony Air" due to customer dissatisfaction with the carrier's service.^[6]

Allegheny's agreement with Henson Airlines, the forerunner to today's US Airways Express carrier Piedmont Airlines, to provide service under the Allegheny Commuter banner, is generally regarded as the industry's first code-share agreement,^{[citation needed]} a type of service now routinely offered throughout the industry.

The birth of USAir

Allegheny changed its name to USAir in 1979 following the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act the previous year, which allowed the airline to expand its route network to the southern United States. In the early 1980s, its routes in the Northeast were fed by Ransome Airlines, among others. It was at this time with a new corporate name that the company moved its corporate headquarters from Pittsburgh to Crystal City in Arlington County, Virginia near Washington, D.C., although Pittsburgh would remain its primary hub for another two decades. President Jimmy Carter signs the Airline Deregulation Act. ... Ransome Airlines was a commuter airline which operated out of Northeast Philadelphia Airport in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ... Pittsburgh redirects here. ... For other uses, see Washington, D.C. (disambiguation). ...

USAir was a launch customer for the Boeing 737-300, as the airline needed an aircraft with greater capacity to serve its rapidly-growing Florida markets. USAir was the world's largest operator of DC-9 aircraft and approached McDonnell Douglas for a new airplane. However, in the late 1970s, the company's proposed successor to the DC-9-50 did not suit USAir's requirements. After negotiations with McDonnell Douglas broke down, Boeing stepped forward with a proposed variant of the 737. USAir chose this aircraft and the company worked closely with Boeing during its development, receiving the first plane on November 28, 1984.

1980s: Mergers and expansion

USAir expanded dramatically in 1987, when it purchased San Diego-based Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) and Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based Piedmont Airlines. The mergers gave the airline hubs in Baltimore, Charlotte, Syracuse, and Dayton, as well as routes to the West Coast, and Piedmont's transatlantic routes to London Gatwick Airport. While Dayton was a hub for USAir for several years following the Piedmont merger, only Baltimore and Charlotte remained hubs. When the Piedmont acquisition was completed in 1989, it was the largest merger in airline history. USAir became one of the world's largest airlines, operating over 5,000 daily flights.

In the early 1990s, USAir expanded its service to Europe with new flights to London, Paris, and Frankfurt from its four main hubs. The company formed new partnerships, marketing the Trump Shuttle as the "USAir Shuttle" and accepted a large investment from British Airways that started one of the first transatlantic airline alliances. During this period several 767 aircraft were painted in the British Airways livery, but operated by USAir.^[7][8] It also invested heavily in a new, state-of-the-art terminal at its hub at Pittsburgh.

1990s: Rebranding, fleet modernization, and a failed sell-out

In 1996, USAir closed its relationship with British Airways and announced its re-branding as US Airways. It expanded its flights to Europe through the end of the decade, and bought out the remains of Trump Shuttle in 1997. That same year it introduced a single-class service known as MetroJet, which attempted to compete with low-cost carriers expanding into the East, in particular Southwest Airlines.

On November 6, 1996, just following the re-branding to US Airways, US Airways placed an order for up to 400 Airbus A320-series narrow body aircraft, with 120 firm orders at the time of the order signing. At the time, it was regarded as the largest single aircraft order in history. In 1998, the airline followed with an order for up to 30 Airbus A330-series or A340-series widebody aircraft, with an initial firm order for 7 A330-300 aircraft. These orders accomplished two goals: 1) they allowed US Airways to replace older aircraft with newer, more efficient aircraft; and 2) helped with the re-branding and repositioning of US Airways as the "Global Carrier of Choice". is the 310th day of the year (311th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Although the airline had returned to profitability in the mid-1990s, its route network's concentration in the U.S. Northeast and high operating costs prompted calls to merge with another airline. On May 24, 2000 US Airways announced plans to be acquired for $4.3 billion by UAL Corp., the parent company of United Airlines, the world's largest commercial carrier at the time. The complex deal drew immediate objections from labor unions, consumer advocates, and antitrust regulators. Negotiations stalled; with both airlines losing money and the deal all but certain to be blocked by the federal government, UAL withdrew its purchase offer on July 27, 2001, paying US Airways a $50 million penalty for withdrawing from the deal.

2001-2004: 9/11, financial woes, contraction

As the largest carrier at Washington-Reagan, US Airways was disproportionately impacted by that airport's extended closure following the September 11 terrorist attacks. The resulting financial disaster precipitated the closure of the airline's MetroJet network, which included the de-hubbing of the subsidiary's primary operating base at Baltimore-Washington International Airport, and the furloughing of thousands of employees. The airline entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy on August 11, 2002. The company received a government-guaranteed loan through the Air Transportation Stabilization Board and was able to exit bankruptcy after a relatively short period. On October 19, 2005, the loan was repaid when the debt was refinanced with other lenders. Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

In early 2003, US Airways management liquidated the pensions of its 6,000 pilots, sending their pensions to the federal pension program, PBGC, or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. It was one of the first major airlines to drop pilots' pensions to save money, and other airlines have subsequently tried to do the same. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (or PBGC) is an independent agency of the United States government created by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to encourage the continuation and maintenance of voluntary private pension plans, provide timely and uninterrupted payment of pension benefits, and keep pension insurance premiums...

Following an initial trial run of selling in-flight food in 2003, US Airways discontinued complimentary meal service on domestic flights.

In August 2004, US Airways attempted to build a Latin American gateway at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood, announcing service to 10 cities in Latin America and the Caribbean. The attempt was largely unsuccessful and short-lived, in part due to Fort Lauderdale’s proximity to American Airlines’ hub at Miami International Airport, with access to an extensive Latin American network. They also began a process of de-emphasizing its hub-and-spoke system to capitalize on direct flights between major eastern airports such as Washington-Reagan, New York-LaGuardia, and Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood. This emphasis on more direct flights has been undertaken by many airlines of late, as an attempt to capitalize on the highest-profit routes, and is modeled after Southwest Airlines' system, one which most U.S. airlines used until the mid-1980s. , FAA diagram of FLL FLL redirects here. ... , Destinations with direct service from Miami Miami International Airport (IATA: MIA, ICAO: KMIA, FAA LID: MIA) is a public airport located eight miles (13 km) northwest of the central business district of Miami, in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. ...

However, high fuel costs and deadlocked negotiations with organized labor (chiefly the Air Line Pilots Association, who were traditionally the first group to come to a concessionary agreement) forced US Airways into a second round of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection proceedings, on September 12, 2004. Widespread employee discontent and irregularly high sick calls were blamed by the airline for a staff shortage around the 2004 Christmas holiday, a public relations disaster which led to speculation that the airline could be liquidated; the USDOT, however, found that the problems were caused mainly due to poor planning by management.

2004: Pittsburgh hub conflict

This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Please improve this article if you can (March 2008).

In late 2003-early 2004, US Airways believed they were entitled to lower operating fees at Pittsburgh International Airport given they were the largest airline operating at the airport. This belief by US Airways was mostly due to their loss of money with the post 9/11 airline money loss. But the Allegheny County Airport Authority said no to lower fees, partly due to US Airways "bullying" on being the largest operator with respect to large number of daily flights. After threatening to pull-out, US Airways, in November 2004 reduced their flights into Pittsburgh International Airport from a main hub to a secondary hub.

Final merger pieces

During the night of March 4, 2007 the US Airways and America West computer reservation systems were merged. US Airways, which previously used the Sabre airline computer system, switched to the new QIK system, an overlay for the Shares system which is based on the Amadeus computer reservations system, which had been used by America West. A few of the features from the Sabre system were incorporated into the new joint system with the most prominent being the continued utilization of the Sabre ramp partition "DECS" for all computer functions related to weight and balance, aircraft loading and technical flight tracking within the company with Former America West employees being fully trained and implemented into the old East system on September 25, 2007.^{[citation needed]} is the 63rd day of the year (64th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

America West Airlines was completely merged into the US Airways certificate on September 25, 2007. This completely eliminated the America West name. Former America West employees including pilots, fleet service, flight attendants, and mechanics remain on their former union contracts, and have not completely merged work forces with their "east" (pre-merger) counter parts. Former America West aircraft still fly with their respective crews and use the call sign "CACTUS", while former US Airways crews fly with their aircraft, and still use the call sign "US AIR". In addition, flights operated by West aircraft and crews are numbered 1-699, Flights operated by East aircraft and Crews are numbered 700-1999, with 2000-2199 being shuttle services, and 2200 and higher operated by express subsidiaries.^{[citation needed]}

Aircraft were still operated by US Airways or America West crew and the aircraft were under two different United States Department of Transportation operating certificates until September 25, 2007. However, until pilot union groups negotiate one contract, pilots will fly only on their airlines' aircraft and flights will be marked accordingly. The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) is a federal Cabinet department of the United States government concerned with transportation. ...

Now that the computer systems are merged, America West operated flights are marketed as though America West is a wholly owned carrier. This marketing is common practice for airlines that have code share agreements with other airlines operating the aircraft for feeder or regional routes. This practice is not common for all major airlines, but greatly simplifies the process for a passenger connecting between the US Airways and America West operated flights.

On the morning following the systems' merger, problems surfaced almost immediately. QIK check-in kiosks at several major US Airways hub cities began to malfunction. Although the new system was stable, there were connectivity problems with the kiosks that originally connected to the Sabre system. One of the major problems was with the common use system that some airports (like Las Vegas, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and others) use. Thousands of affected passengers found themselves in long lines having to check-in with an agent. Web checkins were not affected.^[11] QIK - (Qantas Intelligent Keypad) is an intelligent airline agent application first developed in the late 1980s to front end mainframe reservation (RES) and (DCS) Departure Control Systems. ...

The airline in the summer of 2007 began upgrading its in-flight service, from food and training for flight attendants. The airline will also begin test marketing a new seat back entertainment system in early 2008. ^[12]

US Airways' routes are heavily concentrated in the Eastern United States, Western United States, and Caribbean, with a number of routes to Europe and several destinations on the west coast. Their west coast presence has increased dramatically following the merger with America West Airlines. Codesharing with United Airlines has dramatically helped US Airways by allowing the airline to offer its customers extensive service throughout the Midwest, Great Plains, and Rocky Mountain states. Services to South America, Asia, and Australia are also provided via the United Airlines codeshare. Likewise, United passengers benefit from increased access to the Eastern Seaboard and South, Europe, and the Caribbean. US Airways Express carriers operate a number of routes, primarily into US Airways' hubs and focus cities, but with a few exceptions, in particular where smaller US Airways Express carriers operate service under the EAS program, and also some point-to-point routes in the northeast and Carolinas.
