maybe i'll go buy some smokes , or vodca ...

well it is for sure he didn't hit the spell checkYou sound like you've already hit the sauce...
You are truly under the Kool-aid gun when you say you actually got an fair and equal contract. Are you that stupid to believe mgmt gave you anything but NOTHING??you sure can baby
The customers may be “telling “ him that things are not going in the right direction , but oddly enough their still flying with us …
What us airways needs right now more than anything is more MONEY , as much as we can get … and we need to save every last dime … if we have to nickel and dime the customers ,take it right up to the point when they decide they don’t want to fly us anymore ..
You are right US needs MONEY since they are spending it faster than they are taking it in.
There are only three places any business can get money to operate
1 - Investors, selling more stock to the public probably won't work in this market
2 - Borrow it - Hard to do in this credit Crunch.
3 - Customers, well many high yield customers have left, and leisure travel is down, ( that is why the airline is reducing capacity)so how are they going to get more money?
Last night I need to get from BHM - CHS and the cheapest flight was $606.00 one-way for a flight that is about 400 miles, or revenue to the airline of $1.50 per mile or about 10 times cost. My friend that is a 90% profit margin.
My friend, I did not take the cheapest carrier, I went with one that was about $50.00 more because they offered a better value.
Parker & Company have 'chased' me away. I have been flying US since the late 70s and was a CP since the program started until this year. I am currently a Gold, and will be a silver next year with 30 segments and 16,496 miles.
The reason I left; unreliable, poor IT, dirty planes, cuts in FF program, cuts in the product offered.
Tempe has done nothing to retain my business. In fact I received a thank-you e-mail from DL thanking me for purchasing a first class ticket. The old US sent me thank yous for my high volume high profit business.
So Freedom, chasing away a customer that yields a 90% profit margin is NOT good business in my book, and that is why other airline are and have been chasing mine (and many others) business for years.
So in a year or so, we will see who opinion of Parker was right. But I would take 1 customer at a 90% profit margin rather than 10 that you loose money on.

Extra time for debate and debacle of which airline is fairing better???! That all has to do with OUR creditors and Lendors. Only time will tell, who was corrupt and made bad decisions.
By the way, without the flight attendant and pilot contracts this airline has no future! Your fleet service is in no comparison of the fight we have on our hands!! And don't give me that old garbage we had our chance. We haven't even seen the blue prints of ANY CONTRACT for both east or west this whole WASTED 3 years my friend. Go smoke some more and have another shot of vodca!! Without unity in the groups, or fair decent treatment of the employees and customers, this place is only UP FOR SALE, or doomed to fail eventually! Dougie and Scootie are the reason for DIVISION!!!! Bottom line. :down:
Don't even get me started with all the lawsuits filed against this company by the west pilots and failied implemention by arrbitration. And let me be fair, the oust of ALPA, and date of hire fight by the East.

If I was on that ship, I would knock some ice off the Berge and make myself a vodca martini.<SNIP> the ship is about to get hit by an ice Berge in the next half hour ….
