US Airways Group Inc. sued its pilots union, seeking a court order to halt an alleged illegal slowdown the carrier says is disrupting its operations in Charlotte, North Carolina, and other East Coast hubs.

The US Airline Pilots Association’s campaign is designed to cause flight delays and cancellations that will pressure US Airways in contract negotiations with the union, the carrier said in a complaint filed today in federal court in Charlotte.
