how do we say buh bye to parker, kirby, and travis?

[legacy-to-LCC]

this airline is soaked in disdain, stress, and bitter disenchantment!!!
besides using this board as an outlet, what can WE substantively do to eliminate the problem??
the gang of three could be spending their time better: parker needs treatment; kirby needs...hell, i don't know, he is just a mess; and travis needs...a better hairstyle and a primer in business communication 101.

think of the morale boost eliminating these freaks would do for this airline and our customers?!?!?!?

Please add Joe Berry CIO to the list. He immediately authorized SHARES over Sabre to save $100 million annually. Too bad that Sabre cost $250 million!

Frightening to think who else might be waiting in the wings. I'm not keen on any of the decision makers now running this airline getting a bonus on departure like previous leaders. We've been raped far too many times. Put it out to the shareholders like AFLAC did.
What I'd like to see is a good "cross slap" (tm) and an acceptance of accountability for this horrible mess via a FULL PAGE ad. (Yes, Travis, you smarmy wanna-be)
THEN turn Sabre back on until they can positively integrate it-all systems go. ALL systems.
Empower your employees and trust them to make the right decisions for the benefit of our customers.
We are not Stepford employees (at least on the east we're not). Go ahead and fire away. I've read the most ridiculous excuses from PHX employees on this board recently. The problem is trial and error management, leaning more toward error. It's an embarrassment.

Don't forget Sherri Shamblin. Seriously, where is she and has she done her homework yet? Not very bright.

Saved $100 million indeed.

Just to lose $300 million in lost revenue. Look at one hand while the other hand is doing a magic trick.

"Not very bright" is an understatement. Have you ever heard her try to speak publicly? She had to host a Crew News Session a while back in CLT for about 20 minutes because Kirby et al were running late. I was actually embarrassed for her...... FA'S were asking legitimate questions, and she is talking about how exciting it is to get the $50 payout for being on time, and kept saying "YAY!" No wonder she is so quiet these days; she is not exactly well spoken. She has not written any form of email correspondence to her East FA's since 2006 (not sure about West). Absolutely unbelievable.

 

[as the prop turns]

Yup, Sherry is something...never liked her..above it all!

Her husband is also a director. She's part of the in crowd. She is not going anywhere

regional sensibilities making non-regional decisions=failure. NO doubt about it!!
i am serious, though. we are ALL pissed off!!! what can WE do??
what can we do to ensure DUI parker, kirby, and travis (et al) get shown the door??
bu-bye now!!

She's not respected by the west FA's at all. She's mastered the art of deflection and points the finger at others with things go wrong with inflight. As a result, some very competent and hardworking people have left her department. Supervisors that viewed the FA's as people rather than a number. She will take all the credit for the good and play the blame game with the bad. To say that she doesn't like FA's is putting it mildly, she prefers her horses. :mellow:

Well...maybe time for some to retire or quit?

Obviously it has not been satisfactory at US for some folks for quite some time, many since way before the merger. Some things never change I guess...sigh.... :unsure: !

Negative energy all the time is not good for the health.

Lets work on the positive changes we can do to help get the airline back to it's pre-DL merger idea fighting weight.

D.P and co. seem to be attempting to do just that as the communications bear out. They are acknowledging mistakes and attempting to explain what they are doing about it.
Noone, including myself are happy with the operation of the airline in the past few weeks.
However, I said it once and I will say it again....what CEO do you think is out there in airline land that would be better....besides Bethune, who has no interest in it????? :unsure: Name one person that would satisfy all the griping on here???
Can't can you? 🙄

Rumor has it that Sherri's been hiding under her desk clutching a turkey baster full of Barbaro screaming, "keep those PHL bit*hes away!"

First of all, a company never compromises it's product. Bring back first/envoy class the way it used to be. Bring back some kind of meal service to coach. Bring back our computer system so we can help our pax. We made 500 million dollar profit in 2006 with Sabre. SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM for God Sake!

Assuming you are a stockholder, write investor relations requesting a form for presenting a shareholder proposal. Or find an old annual report (from any company) and peruse the shareholder proposals in their 10k forms.

Any shareholder can propose the dismissal of any BOD member or any upper management member. Cite the reasoning behind the proposal and be specific.

While it is unlikely to meet with success, it is a real slap in the face to have that out there in the annual report and at the shareholders annual meeting. But then, if a DUI by the CEO of LCC isn't going to bring the ire of the BOD or shareholders to take out DP, I doubt anything else will short of embezzeling. Then again, the stock option and golden parachute crap is a legal form of embezzelment.

Have a lawyer friend help you with the papaerwork. This would sure raise some eyebrows.
