Happy News for MIA

[WingNaPrayer]

MIA Management member K. Pyatt has been transferred to LGA. 🙂

Thousands of MIA and passenger service employees send their condolences to their counterparts at LGA, (as well as their thanks for taking him!)

I guess this is sort of a payback for LGA Flight Service sending H. Fried to MIA. I was glad to see him shipped to MIA.

Good for Ken --he started out in NYC.

Say what you want, but he's the first Level 8 to survive MIA Ramp Services in about 10 years. There's a long string of failures before him who were simply shown the door.

I'm sure there is an equally long story to go with it. When you start in passenger service, then get kicked down to baggage for 3 years, then back to passenger service again. . . like I said, I'll bet there is a long story to go with it. LGA being the fraction of a station that MIA is, wouldn't that be considered a waste of talent, were there any to waste? Most certainly a downgrade.

Regardless of the reasons, I'm getting the feeling that a lot of people at MIA are glad that he is going. Hopefully it represents an opportunity for improvement in passenger services at MIA because it has been severely lacking, morale-wise and it started to show some time ago (some say about the time he came back from the big luggage rack down below). But then, no manager ever walks away from a position (requiring them to oversee union employees), wearing a gold star.

Ken is in for a rude awakening,he's going to have an HR bomb dropped right into his lap.

HR doesn't usually fly in to depose people do they? Or how about 30 clerks getting yanked in for 29F hearings on the same day?

Yes Ken,welcome back.

I guess it shouldn't come as a shock that I disagree with you. What did you dislike about Howard?

OK, show of hands. Who wants to hear the rest of this story? I know I do.

YES, ...tell us the rest of the story !!


eolesen,

No matter what kind of good/Mia job this guy did,....Mia Is NO..NYC.

I'd Imagine it would be "A piece of Cake" to WORK to RULE in (ATC)DELAY INFESTED LGA.

Throw in Understaffing, ..HEL*, I'd have a BALL recording EVERYTHING on my Camera Phone .


Surviving a "tour" or two at MIA, must not be confused as having RULED with an Iron Fist over a strong Union station......................WHICH MIA is certainly "NOT"

Mia's BAD Rep. can be mostly attributed to a HUGE operation, probably understaffed with a TON of Red Necks who can only understand the meaning of UNION, from a copy of "Websters"

Throw in a TON of Language differences, Mix Well-then pour. Presto, you've got a Difficult station,....BUT not a STRONG Union station.

Ahhh,...But like LGA Fleet Service is alluding to,............."NYC"..."Welcome to the REAL WORLD" !!!!

I'm betting he wasn't sent to LGA to shake things up, or to do any good whatsoever. His rep is identical to Hazy (who will be lost without him) in MIA - sit on his ass and deny knowing anything.

Bears, I'm sure you know what you're talking about RE: NYC but if it is a union hotbed, why send this guy? His last several years were spent reigning over a non-union work group.

I'm guessing the move was forced. LGA . . . or else!

IOW, he was sent to LGA to sit on his ass then retire - just like Hazy was sent to MIA for obviously the same reason because he sure has the "sit on his ass"part down pat!

I clicked on this hoping that the "Happy News for MIA" was an anouncement that Dade County had decided to bulldoze the entire operation and rebuild it.

Sadly, MIA is still with us. I for one cannot think of a more badly run airport. As for this transfer issue, I can't speak about it since I have no knowledge.

To those of you who have to work at MIA, you have my sincerest condolences.

Don't feel too bad, for a lot of the Mia people, because(by Florida :down: standards) the pay Isn't the worst, FREE flights back down "To the Old Country", and plenty of work place chat about Jennifer Lopez/Ziggy Marley.

To be fair, at the different big AA stations, each has it's own "regionality".

 

[eolesen]

It's not a downgrade by any means. There's simply no comparison for being responsible for a portion of services at a hub, and being responsible for an entire operation.

Bears, lay off the sauce... you're starting to sound like a bigot....

Ken will do just fine in NYC. He started out at LGA, and was a shift manager at either JFK or LGA up until 1991 or so.

WRONG....E, on two counts !!

1. The strongest sauce I comsume these day(10+ years) is Diet COKE.
2. I DID say, that each HUB/Large station DOES have It's unique "regionality"
