Forcasting Liquidation

[justaumechanic]

Was that a typo and should have been ... US AIRWAYS' CHIAMES maintains that Southwest's entry into Pittsburgh will have a "minimal" impact on his career?

Nothing will happen to him.. He will come up smelling like a rose and Southwest
will hire him.. Nothing ever happens to these losers..

Look at Wolf.. Sitting on the beach counting his money.. Gangwal, Siegel.. All doing the same thing..

Thanks for the money suckers..

Justa:

Chris Chiames is probably one of the only
people at the VP level that does his job.
I personaly worked side by side with him
in PHL on January 2 loading baggage carts
in the matrix in PHL. He truly cares about
the company and knows his job. Corporate
Affairs is not an easy job. Doubtful that
Chris will leave the company unless the
doors close.

Sure. He's the guy who was quoted here as saying no Airbus work would be farmed out, and if I remember correctly, he's also the guy that said in the midst of the first bankruptcy that US was committed to the PIT hub.

So, if he can sleep well at night being a spinning corporate mouthpiece repeating information of a deceptive and untrue nature, good for him. He'll do well at US.

Doc,

He was also the "mouth piece" that went and told the public and media that it was because of flight attendant sick abuse that created the "meltdown" over xmas.

Not only that, in his dept, form letters were sent out to 25,000 customers from the of the 27th of dec. giving apologies for the consumer inconvenience caused by labor.

Wait until the DOT clears us. AFA will make that PUBLIC, when Menetta's office is finished with their investigation.

Eat your heart out, Chiames for your crap on TV to take the heat off managment during that time. How weak... THis was the biggest blunder of all time by managment, IMO.

Chiames won't go anywhere because he is grossly overpaid here at U...obscene.

The MR. PR man runs around giving "spin"to the public (no pun intended).

It is doubtful that he could get a job anywhere with the kind of cash he receives, expenses and perks, stock and define contribution for retirment.

With all his PR mumbo, jumbo out of his trap, our image still remains poor with the public.

tsk, tsk. Works hard? please.

The rank and file do back flips and cartwheels around this guy who walks around looking like a busy guy.

His one day in PHL, and that makes him some hard working exec. stiff?

Give me a break.

Who is busting their hump in CCY is Ernie Pickell, Labor Relations senior Exec. This guy is a work-a-holic. And the company isn't paying him enough with all the contracts he is responsible for, along with his LR Manager, Wendy. The rest are a joke, and pretend to look busy.

Do know Chris and I'll tell you that I have gotten e-mails from him at all hours of the day and night including weekends. Of all of the Executives I've met he is the most "Stand-up" guy of the bunch. Now that may be damning with faint praise.

Back to Chris, In my dealings with him I have found him to be forthright and direct which means we've had our share of disagreements. He has his own "Style" and it's his job to "spin". His job is to present awful news in the best possible light for US Airways and if you think that isn't working then you try talking to reporters for a week,you'll soon conclude that he is underpaid.

Yep this is real honesty at work:

PITguy, I apologize for the delay. I haven't been online and just saw your note.
We are not going to outsource heavy maintenance in PIT or elsewhere. We never even proposed it. (Unlike UA which has proposed the outsourcing of heavy maintenance.)
We will pay all furlough pay as provided for in the contract.
We have no further plans to lay off more mechanics beyond what is published. With the new commitment to operate 279 a/c, we will need just about all the mechanics on the property to perform the maintenance we have scheduled, since our fleet plan anticipated retiring some planes that we will now be flying.
Finally, we are not trying to vendor maintenance with either Boeing or Airbus.

How many lies in that one paragraph of Chiames? But he is fine and upstanding to Piney. Reminds me of his breakin again and his scruples.

Perhaps he is in training to be an IAM rep!! There is no difference. :down: :down:

 

[700UW]

Nope, heard he is buddies with Tim Nelson and Mike Pruitt of the AGW.

Don't even try to compare the AGW with the company's union. The IAM is forever linked with protecting companies instead of the workers. The AGW is IAM's worst nightmare. The IAM and management are partners, and will always be! Seems to me you're just jealous you dont have the guts to stand up for whats right, like Tim and Mike. You and 320 are just alike you both support management, you just took a different path!!

 

[700UW]

Funny, your coworkers don't seem to think the AGW is for real since they cannot get enough cards for an election.

And I have stood up for what is right before Tim and Mike were ever in a union.

And your statement is very ignorant if you think I support management, open your eyes.

Why don't you ask Timmy about causing more harm to your group when he tried to start his own union and filed short on cards and caused a one year bar?

Why don't you ask Timmy about is attempt to sell the name list to the Teamsters?

Why don't you ask Timmy about FSW union he tried to start several years ago?

Why don't you ask Timmy why the AGW could not get enough cards?

Why don't you ask Timmy who elected him and Mike?

Why don't you ask Timmy how many financial and legal experts the AGW have?

Why don't you ask Timmy how many contracts has he negotiated?

Ok you stood up once before... Why NOT NOW?

You support management by supporting the company's union!
Why don't you ask Timmy about causing more harm to your group when he tried to start his own union and filed short on cards and caused a one year bar?The IAM has done ireparable harm to labor, not only at US but to the entire industry!


Why don't you ask Timmy about is attempt to sell the name list to the Teamsters?Moderators, I beleive this is slander, 700 has been asked to provide evidence of such outragious claims!
Why don't you ask Timmy about FSW union he tried to start several years ago?[color="redWhy are you so worried about the IAM#39"]
Why don't you ask Timmy why the AGW could not get enough cards?
Why dont the IAM get enough cards everytime they jhave an orgqanizing drive?

Why don't you ask Timmy who elected him and Mike?
Has the AGW been investigated by the LABOR DEPT and been found GUILTY of election irregularites like the IAM has?
Why don't you ask Timmy how many financial and legal experts the AGW have?
What good is having experts if they side with management, like the IAM's!
Why don't you ask Timmy how many contracts has he negotiated?

[post="246581"][/post]​

If you're trying to suggest that Timmy don' know how to negotiate like the IAM,  YOU're correct.  All the IAM knows is how to give, give, give, to management!

The IAM contracts are worse than being NON_UNION.

wow...with such a negative attitude US Airways will fail. Keep up the gloom and doom. May as well stay home and drink a bottle of JD.

PITBull:

With all due respect I disagree with your post about Chris Chiames. The PHL meltdown was caused by a number of factors including F/A sick calls.

It's true that the F/A sick calls were about the same number as last year, but the percentage was much higher. Second, why are sick calls high on that day in the first place? When every employee takes an operational job in this industry during the employment process every perspective employee is told they could work on weekends and holidays.

People who use sick time to augment vacation and are not sick are simply "liars" and that is not Chiames' fault.

Chris is an honest hard working individual and excellent senior executive. Your type of post sure does not lend itself to the new "Partners for Change" program and is somewhat hypocritical.

Best regards,

[post="246816"][/post]​

Hypocritical? Speaking of hypocritical. Look at this post of yours. You make no mention of the other posts regarding CC and him lying to the IAM members to their face and then selling them down the river. No of course not it is just what you wanted and enjoyed seeing and was good for your job. So yes of course he is doing a wonderful job and is fine and honest working .. because he works just like you. A liar and a coward.
