HQ is expanded

[LCC_#1]

You couldn't help yourself could you. Take it for what it is ... a gesture of kindess and goodwill! I trust your statement was in satire, because the rest of your statement was good and positive.

Of course!! I am the King (or Queen) of Satire!! 🙂 :wub:

By the way, here's Continental's headquarters in Houston

Be fair now. CO did not build or buy the building. They are simply the major tenant in that building in that particular complex in downtown Houston.

True, but my point was that they're not hidden away in some suburban-hell office park. They are in the middle of Houston and act as a part of the physical city. Not like AMR, DAL or NWA. I like the fact that the logo is on a building that is in an actual downtown. It says we're not trying to hide from anything.

As far as light rail is concerned, don't have the time or energy to get into that one.

UW,

Thanks so much for the important information. I am one eastie that is excited about the headquarter in Tempe and i look forward to visiting if I ever get another PHX layover. I find the new management team to be open and inviting and look forward to a visit.

BTW, what is the policy for checking out the headquarters? Also, I think it's great that we are looking at a true headquarters that is like a campus. What a concept. Think AMR in Dallas..or is it Ft. Worth and UAL in Elk Grove.

I see the new US Airways preparing for the future and for once someone is thinking of the employees. Yes, everyone would LOVE a big raise, but I for one am just now starting to feel like a valued employee. It is because of the little things like $50 bucks for being #1 on otp, or the first birthday card I have ever gotten in the 19 years here. AND, NOBODY at the old US Airways EVER cared about the opinions of the employees. I have never seen as much opportunity to speak out as I have now. The old team had the "shut up, we're the experts. What do you know" mentality.

I can only speak for inflight, but you lead from the top and finally there is a kinder lower management team who has been put on notice the importance of treating the employees well. Again, being offered coffee in the crew room in the morning may seem small, but just ask how much it use to mean to the customers when places like GSO use to offer it for everyone (Piedmont day, mind you). Again, the little things.

So many of us easties have been beat down for so long that many will always be suspicious of any good jesture. That's life. Most of us have learned to either ignore them or call them on their crap. They werent happy when they were making top dollar.

I have no problem with the center of the US universe being in Tempe. Geez, it has to be somewhere and for too long I had to hear about every DC event and every PIT event, so paybacks are a biatch!!

BTW, UW, I think it was a great jesture for the PHX inflight to treat CLT inflight to Krispy Kremes and welcome us. KK's are gold in this part of the US, so it was appreciated. But don't do it often, we have enough middle aged mama's fighing the midrift bulge.

My only concern. Did the flight attendants know PHX inflight was doing this? The cynical side of me could not help but think, wait till the first Eastie transfers into PHX. Then they'll be THROWING donuts at us. I would hope not.

So UW, I have no plans to journey west anytime within the next 4 years if then. But I am developing alot of bronchial problems as I get older and the dry air seems to be better on my system. Will I be welcomed? Hopefully by the time I do make a move or even IF I make a move, everyone will be settled down about al the senority stuff.

It sounds like we have some employees that are acting like grown ups-how refreshing! I wish that good will would spread thru out the company. We are in this together whether we like it or not! I think the world would be a better place if we shared a cup of coffee and a KK.

if we shared a cup of coffee and a KK.

Don't drink coffee, but I'd love to share a KK. Wait a minute - on second thought I want a whole one. I don't think I can stop at half......

Name the date and time, Im buying! If your're good Ill buy you two and what would you like to drink with that KK? Coke or Pepsi?

Lemon filled are my fav!!

You can join Jim and I for KK's-like I said I'll buy! The more the merrier-hey we could have the biggest KK and C party! Not much into Lemon but for you I will make an exception. Any more orders out there? 🙂

 

[BoeingBoy]

what would you like to drink with that KK? Coke or Pepsi?

For my money, you can't beat fresh warm KK and ice cold milk...

Jim

 

[PhxMama]

Would that be whole, 2 0/0 or skim?

 

[BoeingBoy]

Any, though as a kid growing up on the farm I never quite got used to having the flecks of butterfat floating in the real whole milk that came straight from the cow. 😱

So pasturized, please.....

Jim

 

[PhxMama]

I may never drink milk again!

 

[BoeingBoy]

Oh what a treat it was to get those little cartons of pasturized milk that came with school lunch.....

Jim

Funny how time does change. Growing up with that fresh jersey milk, I could not stand those cartons of milk at school. Thirty-five later, pasturized 2 percent is best I can do..lactose-intolerant...OK..I do seek a little -Ben and Jerrys- every once in awhile....Now what was the original subject?

 

[PhxMama]

Well we dont want the mods to have to redirect posts to the original topic and so I will ask, do you think they will serve milk in the new HQ? Back on topic.

If I'm invited I can drink plenty coffee & maybe one KK.
