US Airways
In 2005, low-cost carrier America West Airlines was purchased by US Airways, then the nation's seventh largest legacy carrier.[5] The merged carrier assumed the US Airways name, with the stated goal of displacing Southwest as the nation's largest low-cost carrier. Before the merger, US Airways had substantially reduced its costs through a pair of bankruptcies. In the months after the merger was consummated, former America West pricing structures were rolled out across the former US Airways route network, and operating certificates were merged in 2007. However, full integration of the two carriers has been delayed by management's inability to get former AWA pilots and former US pilots to agree on a unified labor contract.
