PSA-USAir merger brochure - 1988
In this author's opinion, there was never anything to "smile about" in regards to the PS/US merger. Two major things that stick-out in my mind :
First, after the deal was done in 1987, a disgruntled US employee with a score to settle followed his boss (who was probably transferred and doing business in the new organization) out to CA and eventually onto a PS flight LAX-SFO and managed to shoot the boss and the plane's crew, bringing down the plane down near San Luis Obispo, killing all onboard.
Second: US had DISMANTLED virtually all of the PS system by 1994.
A needless waste of lives and a once great airline!!
