According to news reports, the defendent claims to have consumed 3 beers in 2 hours, which resulted in a Blood Alcohol Content of .096% By plugging those numbers in various BAC calculators, assuming a 180 pound male, and US beers, the BAC level is around .024%, way below the legal limit for...

Low Pay? What about benefits? Delta beware! U is the most anti-family company in the free world. How else do you explain giving a person (when and if they hire) 7 days vacation for 7 years. Let's not allow family time. Let's sap the rest of his/her salary in health benefits too, but there's...

For the life of me, I can't seem to understand why an employee who's been told to sacrifice his pay, his benefits, his way of life, or even his job, to save the company, doesn't see the massive house addition being built by the very manager who's telling him we need to tighten the belt! Oh the...

Friends don't let friends fly US Airways. Too many of the same, old excuses. Do they ever learn even the simplest stupid screw ups from the past? Guess not. Notice how Wunderwoman was quick to place the blame elsewhere like Security. Nice try but don't insult the customer's intelligence when...

I traded the green grass for sand and it feels a whole lot better. Didn't change jobs, just the guys I work for. As the song goes, 'just give me a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t.' J. Glass will never steal another dime from my family. Now that's something to feel good about! Most of my life, I...

Not sure where IpourNotCan gets his info but needs a new source. Delta uses seniority also, but has provisions for some limited higher grade passes which can be used,(still seniority based on class of pass,) retiress have a lower status than current employees, still seniority prevails. All...

Sounds like the real story behind CH12 is now revealed. He's very willing for someone else to give up their salary to save his job and livelyhood. Typical response from most Americans. Instead of complaining about the lack of interest in the working class by the government, they'd rather see...

These guys must be bigger thieves and liars than I thought or maybe they are just not the talent they think they are. (I'll bank on the former) Any company who can cut salaries in half, steal pensions, eliminate perks, use bankruptcy to wipe out creditors, outsouce work and still report a loss...

"US Airways deplores acts of violence, intimidation, and harassment against or by any employee" Biggest understatement of the year. Obviously didn't apply to Dr. Bronner threatening to 'liquidate' the company constantly to the employee group if he didn't get his way. Or what about Siegel's...

If US Airways was a burger joint, you'd find a big long hair in every third one, each with a different managerial excuse given. Same old bad taste though. Ain't worth the risk!

Corporate America is now a country club with an invitation only membership. And guess who's not invited? While perks such as lifetime first class passes, healthcare, corporate jets and yachts, annual bonuses, stock givings, sports boxes, untouchable pensions, private security, ect. are all...

Good luck to all who have moved away from all the stealing theives of U management. I quit, got nothing except a half thank you attached with 'don't forget to turn in your stuff if you want your final check' and am quite happy working for someone who values your existence. Jerry Glass screwed...

This has got to be a better solution than forming the usual circular firing squad and pointing fingers. Both good posts, however, the lack of 'finger pointing' has gotten PHL in the position it is in. If this was the first U mishap on the ramp, then we'll call it what it is. However, this...
