Do they still keep the Velveeta Cheese in the gourmet food section of the Harris Teeter in Hickory?

I have no idea. We don't buy the fancy stuff like Velveeta.....

Sorry dude, Tempe doesn't allow billboards or signage along the roadways.

 

[BoeingBoy]

Don't tell me you still haven't finished that cheese wheel US gave you all those Christmases ago.....

Nope. Serious. Dead Serious.

Funny thing is I don't think you could find two of your FF's that would even consider spending a dime of their own money toward something like this. That speaks volumes. But Tempe doesn't want to hear that.......

Yeah, we know. Its a "Southern thing." It's never going to end and the fact is nothing changes despite all the goofy "velveeta-ish" ploys...it's like watching a dog chase its tail.

I was a US supporter at one time. I was on the policy board of FFocus at one time and one of the first cockroaches.

I began to change about three years ago after dealing with management in CCY. I broke all ranks with them after they blamed the Xmas meltdown on the employees. Then came the enema kit from a senior VP because I had challenged them in the press.

For two years I was a PLT on DL and a CP on US. Then the boys from Tempe took over and I called it quits. They made lots of promises publicly then turned around and gutted the DM program. Through several private conversations of which I have never posted the details of, it became very clear to me they do not value my business or business like mine. Let's just say I will not be lied to by people who are senior management at the highest level of US.

DL was going through Simply Good Business (SBG) and Leo when I first made the switch. Things were actually worse at DL than they were at US when I first made the move over. Then the Leo team all leave or get fired. The new management team came on board about a year and half ago.

I've met the new team at DL and while I don't agree with some of the things they are doing from a direction stand point, they have always been upfront and honest with me and willing to discuss those points and explain their position. In the last year I have seen huge improvements in service and as a result they get the most of my $50,000 a year in airfare. US got about 20-25 paid segments this year. They even get a couple this coming January. DL gets about 200 of the 300 hundred I fly each year

The few times I have flown US this year, I saw a huge change in the service levels. Most of the front line people that I knew and loved have all left the company. The service on simple issues like trying to change a flight has been almost unbelievably poor.

Do I still support the employees at US? Absolutely. The front line folks at US were the best in the business. It is the folks in Tempe that I have no respect for and will not support because of what they have done with their policies. They have even managed to destroy the one thing I could always count on, the CP desk. I am not alone in my feelings as you well know.

So when folks like LCC#1 and our favorite US captain come on here and throw venom, I do get hot under the collar. I made the decision that US gets cut no slack from me and that includes posters here who only want to defend those in Tempe or do not want to educate themselves on basic facts.

Am I and others willing to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a billboard? The answer is yes. It will get press. It will get the attention of the creditors. Will it make a difference? I have no idea. But I sat back and watched what happened at PI. I was actually a cheerleader for the HP/US merger….but no longer. Flying consumes 20+ hours a week for me. I will not sit back this time and watch another airline that treats me well be destroyed by a management team that has NO DESIRE to run an airline. Thus the billboard.

My only advice to you is that is this deal does not go through, the wonder boy may have started something he may regret. If the consolidation starts and US is left out, it will not survive. They simply will not have birds or the routes to make it.

You may want to consider that fact and put your app in to DL. They will be hiring soon.

etops1-It's nice to see you still post on the DL board. I, for one, will no longer read (or post) any comments on the USAirways board regarding the merger. More than one person over there has stated they don't want us over there. So much for DL people being the "nasty" ones.

longing4piedmont,
I used to work for US Airways; I no longer do so. However, my new job has me flying on them a lot. I've found everyone terrific. Yes, there are some issues to work out but I've seen a huge improvement over the last six months. Planes are cleaner, check-in a piece of cake, employees are more at ease than they have been in years. Perhaps I just have a little more faith in their abilities than you do. I fully expect them to continue improving and become even a bigger player.

P.S. I lived through the PI merger. If the Delta merger happens I fully expect the Delta employees to have a lot more class in the whole process. That would have been a nice thing back in '89, but that didn't happen.

Typical of the sour employees of US that is one reason that I and other VFF left. Nice attititude. Just remember, what goes around, comes around.

Quoting L4P regarding how much he "loves" US employees:

You are apart of a train wreck. The laughing stock of the industry. Trailer thrash airlines. Considered by the FF community to be the worst in the industry. (worse than ASA and that is a true insult) Enjoy BKK 4 within the next year when this little ponzi scheme blows up......and it will blow up.


Gosh, I love that quote. Let me guess, I took it "out of context", right? Aw, thanks for the laughs...... Again, so very, very sorry about destroying PI.... :blink:

PS: Hundreds of dollars on a billboard? Dude, donate it to the crisis in Darfur, or AIDS research, or to the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Just some thoughts... B)

No reply huh L4PI. Seems that you speak with a forked tongue! I guess that would be "typical" of an airline customer with NO LIFE!
