Would US Airways remain in the Star Alliance?
I suppose it all depends on who the buyer is in this deal. TW and AA ‘merged’ a few years back, and TWA subsequently disappeared forever. My guess is that HP is doing a lot better financially than US. Therefore, HP seems the most likely to keep the name. Then again, perhaps they could come up with a brand new name integrating both airlines. At any rate, I see HP perhaps wishing to benefit by joining the Star Alliance as a result. With Star hubs at LAX and SFO already, how feasible would it be to augment these with two more hubs in LAS and PHX? By the way, LAS is now the 5th busiest airport in the U.S. in terms of pax behind ATL, ORD, LAX, and DFW. In terms of movements, they’re probably top 3.
