I was off today and just got a phone call from an agent who was working this evening in CLT...the list is still not out. This is because an agent was fired a couple of weeks ago that had put in for the buy-out. They are saying the list needs to be redone. OH PLEASE....what a crock. IF anyone...

Was there an early out meeting in DCA this week? Has anyone heard what the outcome of the discussions were, if it took place? I don't think anyone from CLT attended. I am anxious to know how the company is going to get the ball rolling on this one. I want out in the worst way and am hoping...

Any news today about how the early outs were to be distributed within the CWA group? Last I heard , the company wanted the flexibility to change the award date, meaning if you were given the early out as per the seniority list, they wanted to be able to change that date you were given to leave...

You are so right! I thought the exact same thing. This holiday season I would stay as far away from US as possible. Sad we're going to lose business , but what else do you do, just stand there and take it? This company has been after all of us for years and now they are finally going to get...

Every CWA member needs to get on the phone and start calling and putting in your 2 cents worth, WE SHOULD BE OFFERED THE SAME OPTION AS THE F/A's---let us leave with our flying benefits if you're not 55, come on!!!!!!!!!!! It's clear the company wants to get rid of us anyway-------why can't we...

I think CWA did a good job.......but I think more needs to be done to get morale back ....it's GONE.....I understand there's no money to give for a buyout....but I don't understand why we can't get more swaps .....come on..........that doesn't cost anything, especially now that we don't have...

Yes, wander what what tomorrow will be like? Now's the time to use those sick days up...... but, we are much too classy a group of people to resort to that. That would mean we would be stooping to this company's level.

I wish you the best Callgirl. I just came back to work after being out for 2 and a half years on vol furlough, I know, I'm crazy. I thought this buy-out thing was going to happen for the agents---had to make my decision 2 months ago and it looked as if something was going to be offered...

I agree with Tadjr....why hasn't CWA been able to work out a lifetime flying benefit deal....like the F/A's have??? I don't get it. I think it would weed out some people too, better to try to get a little something like that, than nothing at all. If the F/A's have it, so should we!!! I for...

When we file for Chap 11, how long do you think it will be before the doors are shut and we are all out of a job? I'm just wondering how long this whole process will linger on. I really don't see us emerging from this one. How has it been done at the other carriers that went out of business...

I totally agree, this is NOT the time to implement new ridiculous fees, I know we are in dire straits, but we are really going to get complaints on this one. And our website does have some kinks to work out.

Just wondering if there are any agents out there that want the voluntary buy-out that is being talked about?? I realize it's tacked onto the 13.10 an hour deal, but do you feel the sense of urgency here like I do? I'm thinking if this thing goes into the dumper we are all going to be up a...
