E-170 Starts More Fla Flying In Nov.

[totobird]

Thanks for your thoughts mdarules. It could get real messy for mainline if the 170's replace the 737's and then MDA goes Express along with all the jobs.

and you guys at MDA have a bunch of fans here in EYW. If ChittlePublic brings their E170s in USX colors here, I doubt anyone will go out and work it. I won't make them.

I'm also going to carve "Express" off of the gate sign once we do get the MDA 170s in here & forget to say "Express" when we do our boarding announcements.. they're not express regardless of what CCY says. Only reason it says "Express" on the side is because there's no F cabin.

True and thank you - we appreciate the support - thanks again

I second the thanks for the support statement. without people standing up to the outsoursing it will never stop. by the way Republic thus far have 827,828,and 829MD just in case they show up.

ALL or NONE!!

You dont have to say express. We dont on board EVER. The gate agents usually dont either. We are not express. Thank you sooooo much for your support!!!!!!!!!!

So does that mean if I am a paying US AIRWAYS customer, looking forward to a vacation in Key West, there is a chance that my plane will land, taxi in, and no one will come out and get me off the airplane? What about my luggage? I wonder how long I will have to sit out there waiting, singing "One-Hundred Bottles Of Beer On the Wall" as I slowly wait for starvation or the Second Coming, whichever comes first.

Doug Parker, sell me two tickets to Key West right away!

You are safe to fly down for now. It will be professional MidAtlantic crews landing on our tiny runway starting Nov 9th.

Parker's team should honor the agreement made with ALPA for these jets. We really want to see the E170s here and I will stand by my statement that it will be *very* difficult for me to work these flights (Chittlepublic) until the grievances are settled. I've never been pro-union in my life, but this is one union action that I take to heart -- that the republic crews are basicly "scabs" taking jobs away from fellow USAirways employees.

I compare the MDA sale with Republic to the Northwest striking mechanics, except the MDA crews want to *keep* working & love their company. I'm just NOT comfortable at all working flights that should be staffed by mainline crews, as promised.

I am a very different "Express" supervisor -- If I tell my employees something, I follow thru with it and I support my employees. And I feel that USAir management needs to do the same thing & protect the MDA crews or call off the sale.

While I appreciate your integrity, I am concerned as to what may happen after the Republic/MDA deal goes through. Seriously, if no one comes out to greet the customers and unload them, the above words will not be at all comforting as I sit in my seat and quietly turn into a pillar of salt.

then, maybe you should write Doug Parker and other US management and ask for them to do the right thing

I just cannot imagine writing someone saying, "you better do like the employees ask or else I may become a human sacrifice on the ramp at Key West."

I'm sorry, but I won't do that. I will book on Delta, Gulfstream, or take several BIG books along for entertainment as I wait for the paramedics to carry my withered remains off the 170.

You're right. I apologize. I'm upset.

Yea, you guys will just land with parking brake on and be off by the first intersection.

Hey, if Parker & Co fixes this MDA mess up, I won't mind working Chittlepublic down here but I'd rather see them stay as MDA.

But right now, the USAirways mgt has given these poor souls (pilots, flight attendants, and mechanics) the finger while waving as is Bedford. That's what I'm not comfortable with. Heck, I may even LOOSE my job for this, but oh well. Lots of other management jobs in the business, and maybe one I can make a difference in.

By the way, if you do book on Gulfstream or Delta, you'll still sit out on the ramp and wait for the rampers to come out. Very rarely do either airline set-up their ramp in advance. We and American are the only 2 who go out & get ready before the plane even lands.

:down:

Just a question for you JSsup. Do you think if the shoe was on the other foot that the MDA crews would go to bat for you as a Express ramper?
????

I'll be just like any other USAir xpress station, We'll feel like wer're back in PHL.
