What you can do for your mother is buy her an ED20 ticket, which is 20% off the lowest applicable fare, and it is positive space. I think that is where the confusion is. You can also buy it online from the employee travel section of The HUB and leave reservations out of it. Besides, it seems...

700 - You have lost sight of the real issue here, and that is our customer. The lack of concern for the people who pay your salaries and allow you the opportunity to pay your union dues are the same people who's bags were being held hostage because some of your union brothers may have been...

I am also trying to retire (from furlough) February 1st, and have been getting the same runaround from Benefits. IMHO, I believe that the company is not going to be sending any packets out, but instead will depend upon the PBGC to do the work after they turn all the pensions over to them...

Strong rumor has it, that unless it is a charter, no additional flights are being added to handle the Super Bowl in JAX. The city is under the gun in order to provide public transportation to/from the port to the stadium for the fans that will be staying onboard one of the numerous cruise ships...

Actually, it was Piedmont who really did win "Airline of the Year" and I believe it was either in 1983 or 1984 :up:

Sadly, USAirways merged the Piedmont Defined Pensions into their own USAirways pension, so they are one in the same. Everyone is in jeopardy now that they say the pension is underfunded by 270 million, and the PBGC is close to be insolvent themselves. Bad news everywhere.

Considering that Bob Fornaro was a VP with USAir before he jumped ship and went to Air Tran, I'm sure he would love to get a piece of USAir as it crumbles.

Does any reader knowledgeable of the company's 1113 proposal, as well as the CWA know how the company is planning to treat future retirees that were Involuntarily furloughed? I have read that Pre65 retirees (does not specify active or furloughed) will be able to cash in sick time to reduce...

I guess none of us should be surprised when we get the shaft again and again, but I suppose I am naive enough that I am truly surprised, or actually shocked, to find this company and its band of thieves are taking 2/3 of our shares to pay our taxes. For those of us furloughed, they should...

Chip, don't feel as though the pilot group is being singled out having their "pension" eliminated or radically modified. Clearly remember the agent group, during another financial crisis in 1991, had their pension quickly eliminated forever. And it is that meager pension that had already been...

Unfortunately, the company normally runs any terminations through the legal department before the termination, just to make certain all the T's have been crossed, and I's have been dotted. That is not to say that what mgmt has presented to legal may not be incorrect. For your sake, I hope that...

If there were any yes voters who could not vote due to invalid pin numbers, please call Pam Terry on Monday as well, I'm certain it was just an oversight that she only asked for NO votes.

ITrade, I believe you are right, otherwise, if the other scenario were true, then all travel agencies, and all other airlines who may have sold the original tickets on the UAL and AMR flights as well as TWA that crashed, could be held liable for the deaths involved in those crashes. In other...

Good news, I was afraid the rumor was true.......Don't want to extend the agony
