Question about the USAirways Airbus A319 Heritage Jets

[Delta777LR]

So far i have seen the USAirways in the retro colors of Allegheny, Piedmont and PSA all at La Guardia Airport, is there any chance that we would see the colors of America West at La Guardia? I would love to catch the 2 USAirways in both colors of America West. In fact here are my three shots of the USAirways retros

Not until both operate under one FAA flight certificate.

more speicifcaly, the america west 319 is operated by HP crews under HP's operating certificate. the other 3 are flown by US under our certificate. it'll be a while, but they will eventually operate under one certificate. you never know, it might come to JFK...

I think that US will keep alot of the west birds out west though at least in the summer months for performance reasons.

Ryan what does that have to do with it? U.S West flys under the HP FAA certificate, HP technically doesn't fly to LGA. That's the one and only reason you don't see them at LGA.

Do we know when they will fly under one certificate?

That is true as of current but once certificates are merged on 03/04/07 it has been rumored several times because of performance diffrences in the IAE and CFM as far as hot and high conditions and the ability to do a "bumped" thrust departure in hot and high by the IAE we will keep alot of the west buses out west while the remainder of the fleet will be mingled but bases for the fleet will remain the same.
