American Airlines has made solid progress in its integration of US Airways over the past couple of years.
For starters, 15,000 American Airlines (Nasdaq: AAL), US Airways and America West pilots have been rolled into one workforce, and most barriers that tied them to each company’s planes, flights and crew bases have been removed. Switching to one system has allowed Fort Worth-based American to eliminate duplicate operations for scheduling pilots and equipment and provided flexibility to manage disruptions caused by weather or other events.
