ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), representing more than 7,500 US Airways flight attendants, today reached a tentative agreement on cost-cutting measures to support the company's restructuring and planned emergence from bankruptcy.

The agreement requires ratification by AFA's membership, with a vote expected by Jan. 10, 2003.
Our flight attendant leadership again has demonstrated that it is resolute in its commitment to US Airways and we commend them for their foresight in reaching this agreement, said Jerry A. Glass, US Airways senior vice president of employee relations.
The Air Line Pilots Association's (ALPA) Master Executive Council last week ratified its cost-cutting agreement and on Wednesday, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) -- reservations sales representatives and airport ticket counter and gate agents, and the Transport Workers Union (TWU) -- dispatchers and simulator engineers, reached tentative agreements on the restructuring. Yesterday, the TWU's flight crew training instructors also reached tentative agreements with US Airways on cost savings and today, tentative agreements were reached with the International Association of Machinists -- mechanics and related and fleet service workers.

These are the two areas where LUV has consistantly kicked the cartel airlines butt for a long time, and given the quality of the US frontline employees could potentially be one of the smartest thing US management has ever done.

I maintain that US has the best bunch of employees that have been mismanaged for the longest. The chiefs can, without a doubt, learn tons from the Indians.

No more excuses! Time to get busy and fix this airline. It cannot be "business as usual".

Rationalize the fares.

Advertize.

Allow our FF's to stand by on earlier flights when there are seats available without the $100 change fee.

Pay attention to what our pax have to say.

Listen to what our employees have to say.

Don't lie to us. Come on down to the "trenches" once in a while and see how things are going.
