Aug. 1--On the afternoon of June 17, US Airways Chief Executive Officer Bruce Lakefield stood before a group of 100 pilots at the Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh International Airport, and in his monotone voice promised, "I am here to be straightforward with you."
The pilots, many of them meeting the new CEO for the first time, tested the 60-year-old Lakefield with a series of tough, candid questions.
Was he dressing up the airline for a sale? No.
Will more pilots be furloughed if the company survives? Yes.
