The merger of the two airlines is imminent, and people in Alberta are worried about AA moving out of Tempe (Alberta Times) US Airways is about to merge with the bankrupt American Airlines, and has promised to the union to try to inherit the original American Airlines worker contract. However, economists are worried that after the merger of the two companies, American Airlines, which originally set up its headquarters in Tempe, will cancel its headquarters and move its office buildings and employees to its national headquarters in Texas, which will cause a heavy blow to Tempe's economy. American Airlines, once the third largest airline in the United States, declared bankruptcy last November and began discussing a merger with US Airways in January this year. Currently, Transamerica is the fifth largest airline in the United States. US Airways Chairman and CEO Doug Pike said on Friday that a successful merger could save 6,200 jobs and maintain the current routes and flights of the two airlines against United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. But it also means that half of American Airlines employees will pack up and go home. As soon as these words came out, the union representing more than 50,000 pilots, flight attendants and ground staff protested. In the end, the United States promised to try to accept the work contracts of the original employees. However, with the relocation of American Airlines' headquarters, industry analysts estimate that Tempe will lose at least hundreds of jobs. American Airlines flights have been significantly reduced at airports across the country. In addition, American Airlines' call center in Tucson has been closed. About 680 employees have transferred to other jobs and 800 employees have moved their offices home.
