I have been reading the comments on this site for many months. I have been silent in my thoughts. I believe there are a large number of postings here that are written during very emotional times. I am an outsider here who flys your airline and keeps up as much as possible on the news. My posting is one of my own thoughts and I do not write to get everyone upset, you are certainly entitled to you opinion too. I am looking at the situation and where I feel it is going. One thing seems clear to me. USairways is in big financial trouble and it does not look to me like they will survive. In my humble opinion I believe Chapter 7 is coming by spring. Unfortunately, many people are going to lose their jobs and families will suffer financial disaster. It is an absolute shame that USAirways management has been going around in circles for over 10 years. That is a reality, then 911, and the economy went sour and Usairways had no resources to rely on. They hired a hit man to fix it (Dave), he brought in his team of cut throat people like Mr. NO CLASS Jerry Glass. Many employees speak of Mr. Glass'' actions, thus I believe there is some reality to his actions, not just employees voicing anger. History has proven you can not shrink an airline into profitability. Dave will not do it either. If the unions once again give in to his demands, they might as well pack their bags and go home. They were forced to give in before, now he has them right where he wants them.
As for your pilot, Chip, I have heard from him that he is retired military, his wife has a good job, and he does not have financial problems either way. Thus his interest must be that he likes flying, so he is willing and encourages everyone else as well to do what Dave wants to make sure he still gets his enjoyment from flying. I question his motive here, most of his postings are from news articles and his is definitely in managements pocket. His union even came out to question his remarks a while back. I think USAirways employees are for the most part good hard working folks who are just trying to make a living and provide for their families. You all now fall to the ways of evil corporate america where the rich get richer and the rest of us just try to survive. I think Dave knows he will not pull this off, thus lining their pockets is their main concern. In the beginning it was probably their egos. USAirways employees have made traveling fun for many of us, a big Thanks for that to all the employees. Folks, get cracking on finding another job, it does not look like this one is going to last much longer. I wish you all the best!!
