Could someone please help me with trying to contact the Employee Travel Office. Been trying to call 800-872-4780 for several days. Everytime I get so far, a message says' we are busy with helping other people and please call back, and then they hang up. I have never seen this done before. No...

Who would you contact about not being able to access the HUB ? Since I cannot access it to contact someone, does someone have a E mail or number I can call? Thank-You

Myself and some retirees have sent e mails to Mr. Parker addressing the new pass policy in regards to retiree boarding.I received a reply soon after. I so many words, the co. said that due to the many problems getting the merger completed, that the new pass policy will have to be done that way...

My hat goes off to you Pitbull. Good post. Let them fly like we do.BOD and VP's on down. Or at least their dependents when it involves vacation travel. If it's co. business, then that's a different story. Yet, I am sure that would be scamed. No way they would fly standby with us "low life"...

Allegheny37 : Get use to it. Seems like the retirees are getting the "shaft" again. I too came up from Allegheny and had almost 34 years in before retirement. It's too bad how this company has treated the retired people. But as you can see,it's me, me, me with this new group of employees. Hope...

oldstingerb: Very good post. Agree with you 110% :up:

BullDog and some of you others that are against retirees boarding prior to active employees. For 35 years people like myself working outside and in the north east looked forward to a pension and medical benefits. Just in the last years, the pensions got lowered and the medical benefits got...

HPearlyretiree; You said that you flew as a regular pax and not a nonrev. That you showed your retiree card and had a upgrade? Is that normal procedure with HP ?. After 34 years and retired from U , my wife and I fly as regular pax and not nonrev. We had enough of sitting in a terminal...

Gee, reading all this about parts being sold etc., brings back a incident that happened to me years back. I needed a landing gear bracket for a DC-9. Knowing I couldn't get the bracket until the middle of the next day from Pit., I went over to a friend of mine at another airline on the field and...

jpn's was a very informative site for u employees. I didn't know Jerry personally, but had sent him several e mails and some donations because I think he was doing a very good job spending most of his time and money on the site. instead of criticizing him and his site, people should be...

:) I thank you all for your help. One thing I noticed with U. Things have not changed when it comes to employees helping each other out with a problem. 34 years it was like that and it looks like it will always continue. Thanks again !

:) Could someone give me any help in regards to the ZED fare policy? After being retired for over 3 years with 34 years with U and this ZED fare thing is new to me. I was wondering before I travel 40 miles to a U ticket counter and being told that I didn't do the right thing and come back...

hpflygirl: thank-you for the info. One note though. You said that what ever you have at retirement, you keep. With U, thats not the case. I, never in a "million years" would of believed that U would or could do to the retirees what they did. Myself and many more after 33 years with U, we...

:) Could someone shed some light on where retirees stand in regards to non-reving ? Retiring after 33 years with U. Just wondering how all this new non-reving effects the retirees. Also several posts back, there was a list of other airlines and their non-rev policy, but it didn't have anything...

:( The F-100 was a mechanics nightmare. Especially for mechanics that had to work on them in the northern stations like Boston. The oil seals didn't like the winter weather. And the landing gears and struts were a nightmare also. Hee-hee- Bring back the good ole CV-580's . :D
