I'm trying not to get bogged down in details (yeah, I can mention their labor troubles, but doesn't every airline have those?), but I should cover the highlights through Sep 11th. Possibly mention the 1998 safety fine that was found when the FAA was doing safety inspections post-Valujet. Perhaps also talk about post-Sept 11 a bit, since AW was one of the airlines that came very close to failing but was successfully bailed out by the Air Transport Stabilization act.

I think that the image of the A320 landing shows off America West's logo quite nicely including the tail insignia. I'm wondering if the scanned? logo is really necessary at the top of the page. Other articles (Coca Cola for example) do not include a simple version of the logo in addition to including a photograph of cans of soda emblazoned with the logo.
I think that the two very similar images stacked on top of one another actually reduce the value of both. I would suggest either moving or removing the plain scanned logo and retaining the photograph of the airplane with America West's logo on its side.

Since the old livery can still be seen at Sky Harbor, maybe we should have a picture of it in the article. Other airline articles do (Delta, etc.). Emfraser 09:05, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
This would be a lengthy list. www.americawest.com indicates 101 destinations. -- ABQCat 06:51, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Why is this page not America West Airlines which is the correct name of the company? Isn't the wiki standard to use the correct name? If you look at what links here, about 50% are redirects from America West Airlines or America West Express. Vegaswikian 00:32, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I reverted these changes for many reasons, inluding, combining of totally different topics into one sentance, destinations are not services, replaces correct links with redirects. Vegaswikian 3 July 2005 18:27 (UTC)
See my comments at Talk:US Airways on what should and should not be changed after the merger is offical. I think any discussions on this should be in one place. Vegaswikian 07:35, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Recently, I have made some changes to the article on San Antonio International Airport and Austin Bergstrom International Airport in Texas in the section under US Airways. I have changed America West Express operated by Mesa Airlines to US Airways Express operated by Mesa Airlines but it keeps changing back to America West Express saying that the airline is still operated by America West Express and not US Airways Express. Why is that? Bucs2004 05:08, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
For some reason, a user deleted the words "US Airways operated by" and just left it "America West Airlines" in the airport articles that is served by America West and I have changed it back to "US Airways operated by Anerica West Airlines". Is there any thing wrong with the way it is written? Bucs2004 05:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Is it time to 'freeze' this article as a historical airline for the most part? As I understand it, all of the flights are now listed as US flights with HP just providing the equipment and crews. Is my understanding correct? Vegaswikian 22:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm that AWE bought their operating certificate from
Hawaiian Pacific Airlines? Also was that the correct name for the airline or was it
Hawaiian Pacific? I have not found any reliable sources to support this. However I think there is support that they did use the HP code before AWE.

In review a possible error exists on totals. It shows (133) units, but the following is the breakdown as stated by ATW in July 2007 issue: A319 - (39) A320 - (55) 737-300 - (26) 737-200 - (12) —Preceding unsigned comment added by KGoldberg ( talk • contribs)
I have always been interested where this call sign came from. America West/US Airways public relations in Tempe, AZ did not know. I finally found an "original" pilot who told me the call sign was an old, unused Air National Guard call sign out of the Sky Harbor NG unit. The pilot reported there were so many airlines with the word "West" in them that they wanted something easily recognizable, so they applied for the sign to the FAA.
Because this callsign is not ordinary I believe it is important that the information be included somehow.

Hello. I'm soliciting opinions regarding the controversy surrounding the formation of the US Airline Pilots Association. Please see Talk:US Airline Pilots Association#Controversy and add you opinion. -- Tcncv ( talk) 00:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Is any of this true? I did a Google search and the only really relevant result that came up is the article on "THE PHOENIX-BANGKOK HEROIN CONNECTION" that is linked (improperly, might I add) in the middle of the "The Early Years" section.

I dug deep but found an old picture of the HQ building in Tempe with the AWA sign still up. I am removing the photo request at this time.-- Cygnusloop99 ( talk) 21:11, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
The article shows that the Boeing 737-100 had 124 seats in a 2 class configuration. But you can only just fit 123 in an all economy configuration so this information surely cannot be correct? -- JetBlast ( talk) 22:01, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
