Well it's about time......
But Aug 1 is too late for my next transcon--July 11th. I guess another trip on UA is in order!!!!
After that we'll see!!
A step in the right direction though.
My best to you all.....

Now if only we woud bring back the glass! ...I agree, this is a step in the right direction.
Glassware, IMO, should return to all flights in F/C ASAP. The product (even with this improvement) is still an embarassment as long as we have paying customers flying PHL-LAX or CLT-MEX sipping wine from a US Airways.com plastic cup. : rolleyes:
...I would also like to see US open an Envoy Club in CLT, but again, that would simply make too much sense and might give us a slight competitive edge so it won't be done.

the glass part i agree with. as for the envoy club in clt. there is really not a need for it. all we have is 2 flts to europe . FRA&LGW. i do not think that warrants an envoy lounge.

Envoy customers may use the US Club in D concourse before their flight. There isnt a specific Envoy Club, but they do get use of a club. I believe that CLT could handle more INTL traffic if given the chance. We have a lot of people connecting from the deep South that would prefer CLT to PHL for connections (wouldnt we all?). I think MAN and CDG could easily handle a flight to CLT (at least part of the year) if we had the planes to offer it.

The CLT D club closed on 12/31/01. The original plan was to make it Envoy, but with the post 9/11 cessation of CLT-CDG the idea was dropped. Currently, pax may use the B/C club in CLT. At this point, how much traffic could reopening that lounge generate? There are only 3 transatlantic flts daily: LGW,FRA/MUC-LH. As for the islands, the longest route that I can think of is MEX.
Now, does anyone see US reopening that as an arrivals lounge/smaller club? They could renovate it and add somewhere from 5-10 showers and offer complimentary use to pax departing/arriving in Envoy or FC to Europe and any island flights over 4 hours. They could also offer use to pax arriving on overnight flights from the West Coast. If pax wanted to use this but didn't fall in the areas above, a $15.00 fee would be charged. Keep it open 6am-6pm daily and it would probably get some oa pax willing to pay as well.

I didnt realize the CLT D club had closed. I havent been thru CLT in a long time and especially not on the D concourse. Thanks for the heads up.

To be honest, I think that if we simply put some Envoy Club-esque catering in the main US Club for the 430PM-8PM international bank, that the problem would be solved. Some hors d'oeuvres/cheeses/pastrys nothing too elaborate but just enough to be better than nothing. This, combined with unlimited drink coupons for Envoy pax would be a more than acceptable compromise to building an entirely new club. I really don't understand why US did not install showers in the CLT B/C and PHL A-West clubs since they are relatively new facilities.
Three transatlantic flights a day (LGW/FRA/MUC (LH) ) are more than enough to warrant upgraded club amenities at US's largest hub.

I believe I attended GSC recurrent training at the D club sometime last year. What a waste of money...paying for an airside club only to use it as a Cust Svc training room. Earth to US (!) we have RIDC still available and the CLT facility still open with quite a few empty classrooms. I would have though leases like the one we have on the D Club would have been rejected during BK #1 (let alone BK #2....)!
I think first class should be what it was pre-9/11. The hot towels, the menues, the desert cart..ice cream or hot chocolate chip cookies. All of it. As much as those customers pay for first..they deserve it. Before I was furloughed I loved being the A or D or C..depending what a/c. I loved to do it up in first and make sure those passenger had hot meals...ect. I was furloughed after 3 1/2 years at mainline..so I did not get a chance to see what it all turned out to be later on..but, hopefully I will be back by years end and will get to serve those hot meals again...I think this is a great step for U.. 
I know, bring it back. Single class (if it's nice like the MAA planes) with perks for DM members is fine for short haul and midcon. Have a first class on transcon, Carribbean, transatlantic etc, and make it worth it.
This has to be the only airline with flight attendants that WANT to provide a more premium product than the company does. Instead they are left with torn up seats and tacky beyond belief styofoam cups with drawings on them.
