Acutally Kev, it has. It says "Feeling of entitlement", and one can read that as entitlement due to seniority, or entitlement for allowing one's hind end to warm a seat.

I read it as refering to "Senority" since that is in the title. "Senority" as it refers to employees.

I just finished a conversation with a good friend and ex coworker regarding the sense of entitlement at US Airways.
At US Airways and many of the US carriers, schedules, positions and pay are based on seniority. When I was flying I regularly heard comments like, "Well you should have been here back when we had to do this and do that." Or comments like, " You think you have it bad, you should have been here when......"
Positions, promotions and pay should be based on job performance not based on the number of years you showed up for work.
US Airways has lost many talented individuals who could have contributed to the success of the company had they been recognized and not just treated like a number.
Years of service should be recognized as an individuals loyalty to the company, however, successful companies thrive when they invest in their employees and value their efforts.
Just my two cents, too late!

Well, Bob, here's the 1st post in the thread to refresh your memory (and KC's). We can debate semantics all day, but a sentence like, "At US Airways and many of the US carriers, schedules, positions and pay are based on seniority." speaks nothing of FFocus or any other FF program for that matter.

One of the better topics you've been posting on? Heck, you guys are having almost the EXACT SAME conversation here.

This is not surprising. At Delta, schedule and vacation are bid based on seniority.

In ATC, controllers bid for schedule and vacation based on seniority. They do have a union (NATCA) but it isn't the old PATCO "real union" of pre-1981.
