Beauvais left America West in 1992 as William A. Franke, leader of a group of Arizona angels who invested in the company, became chairman. A. Maurice Myers, president and CEO of Aloha Airlines, replaced Conway in January 1994 after the airline had become profitable again (earning $37 million in 1993) and pressure mounted to pick a reorganization plan.

The insignificant penalty imposed on America West ... contrasts sharply to the fate of PATCO and its members. The union was dissolved in bankruptcy under the burden of strike-related fines, and the strikers were blacklisted for a dozen years. Only a handful ever returned to work in the air traffic control towers.

Currently, three sides are negotiating to combine the America West contract, which became amendable in December, and the US Airways contract that would run until Jan. 1. Last month, the airline offered to raise the America West pilot pay scale by 3%, while boosting US Airways pilot pay as much as 17% in order to equalize the two.
US Airways emploie actuellement 30 100 personnes et America West en emploie 14 000. L'intégration contractuelle des employés syndicalisés doit avoir lieu après la négociation entre les représentants des travailleurs de chaque compagnie portant sur l'établissement d'une liste combinée sur la base de l'ancienneté.

By the end of 1987 America West had added 3,200 employees, 23 aircraft, and ten new destinations in just one year, becoming the nation's tenth largest airline. However, passenger traffic failed to grow as fast as the airline's capacity, and persistent fare wars in some markets cut margins of profitability. These factors led to a $45.7 million loss on revenues of $575 million for the year.
