US Airways Group Inc., now weighing a possible offer for American Airlines, learned from its failed 2006 bid for Delta Air Lines Inc. that such attempts need to be friendly and have labor support, President Scott Kirby said.
Kirby discussed the lessons from the hostile approach to Delta, which was in bankruptcy at the time, at a New York transportation conference today while declining to comment on AMR Corp.’s American or its Chapter 11 case.
