New OCC/SOC where will it be?

[pit_needs_help]

It if was moved to CLT by chance. Do you feel that the PIT employees would move to CLT.... many, many times employees have said hell no to PHX. What do you think?

A large percentage of dispatchers would go CLT. A slightly lower, but still large majority would go to PHX. It is the support groups in question I believe.

It's true! There is a video!!!

Before PHX ops people start crying about moving to PIT, if you move to PIT, you will find that you are already home. It's a great place. Make the move. Your new friends are waiting for you.

Yes, the news report exists. While probably true, I find two annoying features about the story. First, no sources are cited. Second, nothing yet from the company, like an email from CorpComm.

So what's in PIT that I should get excited about? At this point, after seeing some of the software East is using, I can't say that my enthusiasm is particularly bubbly.

The official announcement is expected at a press conference this afternoon. The new center is expected to bring 150 new jobs and retain many existing jobs, KDKA-TV is reporting.

A little Pittsburghese.

Pittsburghese
Learn the Local Lingo
Want to avoid confusion? Practice Pittsburghese before your visit. For example, city chicken is not poultry but breaded pork and veal skewered and grilled. Other food terms include chipped chopped ham (or just plain chipped ham) which is processed ham sliced as thin as onion skin and hoagie(this might be a submarine or a grinder in your neck of the woods). Jumbo does not refer to size but to bologna.
Don't cringe if a waitress asks "Do you want a pop?" She's merely asking if you would like a soft drink (soda, to you?). If someone offers to buy you an iron, it doesn't mean your clothes are rumpled. The local brand here is Iron City, commonly known as Iron. Icy Light - I.C. Light - is the lower calorie version of Iron.

Some of our geographical expressions puzzle visitors. "Down by the Mon - despite its island sound - is shorthand for the Monongahela River. (Who could blame us for condensing that one?) The Yock is a local diminutive of Youghiogheny, another river with a tongue-twisting name. And if you're told "get to the point," don't worry that your stories are long-winded. It's simply our way of saying "go visit Point State Park", a refreshing green found where the Allegheny and the Mon meet to form the Ohio River. Even the city's name is occasionally reduced to 'Burgh.

Our pronunciations are unique too. Dahntahn and Sahside are renderings of Downtown and South Side, two oft-mentioned sections of the city. Bloomfield, another neighborhood, loses its long-e sound to Bloom-filled. During football season, Pittsburghers lovingly cheer on our Stillers.

Southerners are known for their hospitable "y'all": the Pittsburgh variation is yunz, reportedly descended from "you ones". Other towns may have nosy neighbors; those folks would be called nebby here. Folks everywhere tidy up; in Pittsburgh we redd up when company's coming.

What can we say? It's a 'Burgh thing!

Read the post on JetBlue forum that talks about STILL having flight cancellations!!!

Why you ask?

Pittsburgh has a staff at OCC that is VERY EXPERIENCED in the mayham that comes to the Northeastern United States almost every winter. It only took US a day or two to get out of the mess. If US would decide to take OCC out of PIT, many of those folks WILL NOT relocate. Having to hire "newbies" to fill those positions will result in a mess like JB is STILL having. There is alot to say about experience.

At this point, I am sure that is playing on the decision making. Parker said along the line that it is NOT all a money factor.

I think PIT is still a major player.

Since I became involved with the airline Pit was considered the red headed step child. Pit carries a long held stigma, everywhere is better as long if it's NOT Pit.

I am glad I retired and away from all that mess and never ending grumbling of how bad Pit is.

I was born in Pit and I will die in Pit. Ones geography doesn’t determine your final destiny and if it did everyone born around Pit would be considered the devil’ children.

The snobs out there are incredible, especially the southern boys and the California whack jobs.

Long live Pit! Here’s to the cry babies who lost out……

The winner is PIT, per Charlotte Mayor Pat McRory, CLT would not up the anti and is not in contention and the company will announce it is going to PIT.

He said CLT would not get in a bidding war.
