Yes, but at what I was being paid that made it just above minimum wage. Plus I was away from home for up to 15 days at a time. The rest of the time just sitting in a hotel room. I hope your wage was better than mine! :shock: PineyBob, I just may end up joining you. One of the other...

Hi all!, I haven’t posted here in a while but have been lurking in the background. My daughter still works for US so I still have a vested interest. I worked in US IT for approx 7 years. I went from that “regional†airline and did the transition to US. I can say those of us on the...

The only place saying the HQ will be in Chicago is the Chicago Tribune. Of course they would say that. I am not saying it won't be, but I wouldn't be so quick to say it will. I know there were big reasons why it stayed in PHX before and if CP is in charge those reasons are still valid. So...

I do not know why everyone is SO SURE the HDQ will not be in PHX. Depends totally on who will be running the ship. IF it is still Doug, I don't think the HDQ will be moving. There are more reasons than people realize why. It is so funny to sit and watch everyone speculate. But it is...

Boy, do you and I sound like we were in the same boat. The MAIN reason I left was because they brought in a new manager from the outside that had NO CLUE. I have such a lawsuit against them if I choose to go that way....still considering it. And I have a couple of others in my dept that left...

I have to say that as I traveled from station to station I saw a big difference in attitude depending on the group/station. A lot had to do with how their immediate management was. It also had to do with how the employees treated each other. Certain groups really understood they were in this...

US offers a whopping total of $1000 a year in tuition reimbursement. That won't pay for 1 certification class or one class and books at a University. Yea maybe it will pay for a couple of classes at Community College but that won't get you very far. It will take you years to get anything...

I did quit and let me tell you while you do miss the airline, SOME of the people you work with, the options in travel, I do not regret leaving one bit. 1. I make more money. Just about anything you do can quickly make you more money than you can make there. 2. I can go back to school. Most...

No I don't believe Us Airways at all. But I unlike others don't put all the blame on one person. This pile was created by multiple people. All thinking alike. When you go to senior management to complain about lower managment, they tell you to lump it. Quit or go back to work. I left that...

Let me clear up something....East US had EDS, an outsourced company, run their IT dept. They only had about 15 or so people that actually worked for US in IT. They were really basically ripping US Airways off. They had a budget of over 180 million dollars. That was support for those crappy...

Ok, Now that I have left this nightmare of an IT dept I can speak my mind.... Now the dept that does the QIK application....AAT or Airport Automation Team is the dept that has been an embarrassment to all of us from the beginning. Even before the merger we had problems with them. They don't...

If you look at their email addresses in Outlook properties under their name, It gives all options to the exchange server so either way the email should make it to them. Example: Firstname.Lastname@usairways.com Firstname_Lastname@usair.com FirstInitialLastname@usairways.com...

I am not an email administrator but do work with them. The "_" on the east side is just how EDS configured the Lotus Notes email. All new email is being created with a "." It doesn't matter if they were old east or west. They are not distinguishing between the two. Doesn't matter to us. We...

These are hats made to be given out at promotions and community events to children. Sheesh. It is just meant to be fun. You guys take this stuff WWWAAAYYY to seriously. I think you guys just try and find every little thing to put down the company. Some things are deserved. Some things are...
