U.S. Airways attendants set to picket

Phoenix -- Flight attendants from US Airways said they would form a picket line at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to protest the lack of a new contract.

The Association of Flight Attendants is concerned that flight attendants are still working under two contracts.

No contract has been signed that merges American West Airlines and US Airways crews, although the two companies merged in 2005.

Some American West flight crew members receive less pay than US Airways attendants received before the merger, the Phoenix Business Journal reported Thursday.

Attendants planned to form a picket line Friday, the Journal said.

Valerie Wunder, a spokeswoman for US Airways, said this week, "we share the desire for a single contract."
