Just heard that the press conference won't be held until 8P EDT. Please don't ask me where I heard it. I can't tell you.

Don't cash that check just yet. We have to work together as a team to get the job done first. With the "Philly Phactor" as our main obstacle, we may never accomplish the goal. But we should give our best shot anyway. :up:

Also, Bob P., Keith S., Mike K., Michael C., Dave P., Jay F., Lenard W.. All smart guys who made the right choice at the right time. All present and former ROC workers are welcome to come to CLT. :up:

When they talk about lifetime travel benefits on Usairways....what about ID90s on the other carriers? Also, if the company is sold or consolidated, I'm sure you would have nothing. From what we have been told, the lifetime travel is only good on US Airways and unless you are of retirement...

I know that all of this is hard to take. But what are the alternatives, if any? Considering what the original proposal looked like back in June or July compared to now, this isn't all that bad. Those of you that are still working stand to raise up in seniority, thus less vulnerable to layoff...

Sorry Art, it is a done deal. I believe the last day of operation will be December 5th.

Question? Is it not possible for the CWA to put out to vote the first porposal they received from the company over the summer? If it is possible, let's vote on it so we can get out of here with a little cash and lifetime passes. :up:

UnitedChicago Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! When I saw your post I fell off my chair with laughter. The only thing that has made any sense on this board for a long, long time. :up: :up: :up: :up:

FLYAWAY, You said: "The employees now have the oportunity to lead the way in relations with mangement. We have a new leader. Lets start the relationship by eliminating our old culture and the way we interact with management. We must end the constant cloud of critcism and work with the new...

totobird, I have to agree with pitguy, a preconceived "yes" vote is very illogical. Let's say, for example, you are a junior employee and inevitably will get laid off. Again, for example, the proposed contract calls for the elimination of severance pay, so you leave with nothing. Are you still...

All of these numbers make sense, except for one minor detail. How many of the thousands that are laid-off will replace those who take early retirement are already at TOS? Why would the company buy out an agent only to replace him with another agent who will be making the same amount per hour...

Chip said: "I find strategic analysis interesting and debate interesting" My reply: So do I. I can't understand for the life me why Chip continues to be bashed on this board. I can't find anyone else here that goes through the effort to research and analyze the information regarding US...

You've got to ask yourself though: can the employees (both blue & white collar) effectively change the existing culture at the established carriers? I think it is possible as well. The solution is very simple. First of all, management must express hope for the future. Exceptional service alone...

Tad, Originally the ratio was 1 agent for every 2 kiosks. We were told that the kiosk was job security and if our usage number didn''t increase we were going to loose an agent. So we boosted the usage to around 50% and were rewarded with two more kiosks. We said great because we thought we...

Art, It is always a pleasure to hear from you. And the reason why we give 110% is because of the appreciation we do receive from the US1, US2 and US loyals. Thanks for the kind words. Maybe someday we might understand the motives of our current management team. In the meantime, we work for you...
