US Airways was bought by America West Holdings Corp. in late September in a $1.5 billion deal. The new entity took the US Airways name. America West was the third-biggest carrier of passengers at Sacramento International Aiport, with more than 600,000 in the most recent full fiscal year. An interim agreement reached in December provided that America West employees would switch to an existing US Airways union agreement, and it also spelled out salaries. The final agreement provides dates and details regarding when employees of the former America West move to the US Airways contract. It also contains seniority provisions, which will be integrated once the company merges the two work forces early next year. "We continue to move forward as we complete another important step in the integration process," US Airways CEO Doug Parker said. "Our passenger-service employees and reservation agents represent the largest customer-facing employee group, and this agreement will allow us to focus our collective efforts to providing a seamless product to our customers." The merger of US Airways and America West created the fifth-largest domestic airline, with some 35,000 employees. The combined carrier (NYSE: LCC) is based in Tempe, Ariz. It operates 3,800 flights per day to more than 230 destinations in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America.
