Is It True?

[sfb]

Following emergence and full Transformation Plan implementation, US Airways will have a CASM lower than Southwest and AirTran, but higher than jetBlue Airways.

You might want to think this, but it's simply not possible given management's own numbers. In its first day motion, management cited US Airways' stage-length-adjusted CASM, excluding fuel, as being 10.0 cents, while Southwest's was at 5.7 cents. They cited US's mainline labor CASM as being 4.2 cents, compared to WN's 3.0 cents. Even if US were able to cut its labor CASM in half AND reduce non-labor CASM by 25%, US's CASM would still be over 10% higher than WN's -- and that doesn't even take into account WN's fuel hedges!

It is so obvious, how come no one has said it before.

Marketing is the bastion of dreamers not doers, talking that talk endlessly hoping some one agrees. It only takes one concurrence to lead to another diatribe on how things should be in a perfectly twisted world.

There is only one candidate for a new VP of Marketing and he is here tonight proving again his ability and the Board of Directors will see the light.

You have considered the math, yes? It cannot be done.

Even if it did, the non-labor CASM adjustments assume that the current management could pull it off. Simply put--it won't happen operationally, won't happen in planning, etc. "Full" transformation plan implementation probably also assumes that U survives until 2007 or so, increases stage length and mainline aircraft count, all while facing increasing LCC presence it it's key markets.

Roulette at 11.

The Latin America/Island stuff has not yet started, ergo AA has not yet brought down the hammer. Has it occurred to anyone that if I'm AA, I make US bleed money to take this traffic--something U simply cannot afford to do at the present time.

Gee we at AA have about 42 VPs. You guys want some? We have to cut front line people ( more money for execs) to keep our VPs happy or they may jump ship.

The "glass" was broke when it arrived, and the "chimes" never rang clear..there's a lot of money to be made by cutting these anchors.

Unfortunately, U has always had those that couldn't do the job to write the policy; those that wanted to pocket the money instead of invest; offer nice jobs at minimum wage to underqualified persons that can't afford to live remotely close to CCY, leaving real talent to go elsewhere because they refuse to work in CCY and live in Anacostia after achieving a B.A. What morons would sit in their little mansions on the hill, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in rent while hundreds of thousands can no longer afford their little rents at the bottom of the hill? I have seen more humanity, trust, compassion from people I have met in the mobile home parks, migrant farm labor camps....then I would ever expect from the filthy PH trash coming out of CCY. Dear BK judge, all creditors, ATSB: let the public go hate some other airline, don't expect to get paid, count on your loan payment being deferred...etc.

This is news? Even the janitor could tell you how our "talented' group at CCY almost flew this outfit into a mountain.

Who ever saw this team as being "mantled"? Bitten by a Wolf, crapped on by a Seagul, drowned in the killing L'field. They got what they came in for. They came, and no one else did.

I doesn't make sense that USAirways doesn't ALREADY have a CASM lower than Southwest and AirTran. (Maybe it has something to do with the people who budget and spend.)

USAirways has more than 10 different slave labor companies that fly the passengers in addition to mainline. They have carte blanche to transfer all the flying to the slave labor camps.

Southwest has no contract carrier to transfer passengers to and neither does Jetblue yet their "budget and spend" people seem to have come up with a solution without two bankruptcies.
