US Airways pilots have filed a motion in the American Airlines bankruptcy case, seeking to be involved in the process that could lead to a merger that would shape their careers, Forbes.com reported today. The motion filed by the U.S. Airline Pilots Association would "give us access to critical testimony and information presented during the closed bankruptcy hearings," said USAPA President Gary Hummel wrote in a letter. During the summer, Hummel wrote, USAPA negotiated a preliminary memorandum of understanding with US Airways, addressing wages and working conditions that would take effect if a merger occurs. But two months ago US Airways and American signed a non-disclosure agreement, bringing an end to the information flow and to discussions about the memorandum of understanding.
