ALEXANDRIA, Va. — When US Airways filed for bankruptcy in September — its second filing in two years — many experts wondered aloud whether the airline's days were numbered.
The speculation intensified when the airline during the Christmas holidays experienced what its own chief executive called "an operational meltdown" at its Philadelphia hub. He blamed it on surly workers staging a wildcat sickout, an allegation union leaders rejected.
But a flurry of good news in the past few weeks, ranging from new labor contracts to new financing, has airline management optimistic again. US Airways even took out full-page ads in major newspapers declaring "Clear Skies Ahead."
