American's software merger will fold in 15,000 pilots from 3 airlines
Another major merger transition for American Airlines is scheduled for this weekend, as the carrier plans to integrate its 3 pilot-oriented flight operating systems into 1. American hopes to replicate the smooth transition that accompanied its cutover to a single reservations system a year ago, although it is sparring with the restive Allied Pilots Association over the union's involvement in the flight system integration. The conflict isn't expected to impact the weekend transition, however. The flight operating systems involve about 500 software applications that manage crew scheduling, aircraft dispatch and movement and other functions. American still has separate systems for America West and US Airways, which merged in 2005, and for American, which merged with US Airways in 2013. <br/>
