Ok, being an original US employee let's just say that this management team has given us NOTHING to be proud of. They make decisions that continuously leave us apologizing to the customer. You are in a dream world of sorts apparently. Ok, WHAT have they done for the likes of you, me or the customer? Yeah, they have HUGE fan club outside of the employees as well. Kill off the original US side or something like that? Yeah the team from the west is incredible when it comes to managing a carrier. Oh this isn't even worthy.....moving on.
I did'nt say anything about the "west" in my post. Although I could have. Whether or not you think or like the way Tempe and/or west mgmt. operate the airline is irrelevant.
The fact is that the airline is making money now!
Proud? When, honestly was the last time US employees exhibited any sign of pride in their company?
Do you think pre-merger US had a good reputation in the industry?? I think many here seem to forget.
At the start of this merger more than one friend from the east told me ( in so many words)
"don't get tied up with them...or if you do...eliminate the old US culture and mentality before it drags you down too"! I doubted them before, now I am begining to believe it.
I can tell you one thing for sure though......NEVER would you have seen west employees rooting AGAINST their company/CEO and with a Senator in a dispute over potential job growth! Even if a majority thought the company's position was wrong! In the end we all wanted to see HP succeed.
The solid majority of us west folks were proud of our carrier and very much regret the fact that the energy and enthusiasm we held for our company's success is being sucked down into the morass of bickering, self-destruction and back biting going on now since this thing was put together.
It can't be denied....it is what it is. Now lets try to make it work huh?
