Union claims airline revised buyout terms

Answer truthfully (Don't follow USAirways example) did anyone expect anything better from USAirways? Doesn't history has a tendency to repeat itself? But remember it was ok for USAirways to farm out Airbus work you really can't complain much about this can you?

Meanwhile, US Airways has sent a handful of reservation staff supervisors, managers and workers to San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, to train call center workers, Hall said.

I am a bit dissapointed in the CWA frankly, in PIT RES the union officers seems to only go after the answers to questions if they pertain to them. Case in point, interesting that the sect-treas is a part-timer and the union VP went around all day this weekend to try and get the agents to email a list of various officers to object to this part -time payout issue. However, they don't have answers to any of the buyout questions, and won't retain an attorney for the agents to answer questions, there are many many res agents of retirement age who need help with the buyout/pension etc and the union is no where to be found nor or they communicating with the employees. But this part time thing, affecting very few agents is their main issue. Not only can't I wait for the office to close I cannot wait to lose the CWA.

He/she may be a AA employee but it sure sounds more like a USAirways employee typical response.

All active CWA represented employees with a minimum five (5) years of service in a
CWA represented craft and class may participate in the Early Out Program. The Program
design includes the following components based on the employees’ years of service in a
CWA represented craft and class. Employees on a Military Leave and Union Leave of
Absence (LOA) are considered to be active employees for the purposes of this program.
Employees on LOA may apply as long as they have a return–to-work date and return to

Maybe I missed something, but the way I read the EO, it always had part-timers receiving 50% of the amount.

You know I have never been quite sure why I never throw much business AA's way. Well now at least I have Exhibit A as to why that might be.

I would remind you of the BILLIONS your employer has lost and I humbly submit that soon it will be YOUR TURN to assume the position.

Remember toes you step on today may belong to the arse you have to kiss tomorrow.

A little food for thought on a snowy day.

How can you judge an airline on one employees remarks on here and you don't even know if he/she is really just an impersonator? If that is the way you judge an airline then USAirways should be on the bottom of your list. USAirway employees or impersonators post enough attitude on here to sink the titantic.

 

[PRINCESS KIDAGAKASH]

I'm really sorry that you US AIRWAYS people voted yes to concessions three times ,and don't have the guts to put your airline industry wrecking company out of business. We over here at AA deserve the same sharp criticism that I'm giving you, so fire away. We all should have struck to save our industry from destruction, but NOOOO! Now an industry that someone could make a career out of is being "WALMARTED" into oblivion! So when are you people gonna vote yes again?

 

[delldude]

hey princess you are right on.....funny how this comes out after the ratification...oops.

 

[usairways_vote_NO]
