Not Cold Stone. It's Oreganos Restaurant.

By the way, the commercials remind of the Old America West advertisemets.

Haven't you realized that this whole airline reminds you of America West? 😉

Yes. I was just discussing that with another flight attendant. We were working a flight and even though our announcements, our plane etc. says US Airways. The employees are still the same. That energy and culture will never go away. 🙂

Amazing series of commercials catering to the business community... short, powerful, and to the point! Great job, Marketing Dept. Hopefully we'll soon see a similar series directed to leisure travelers.

Love the new music!! Love the commercials. But when will the country see them? Will they also come "east" and get eastern companies and people to express their joy with USAirways?

OK Marketing Department.........get your butts in gear and start televising these new commercials. Even during UA's BK they still aired unique commercials. And I also love the UA marketing approach.



GREAT JOB!!

And I also love the UA marketing approach.

don't say that around here...don't you know that UA is headed towards failure?

I had an interesting conversation about this very thing with an old US F/A on Sunday while we were "stuck" on the tarmac during the storms this past week.

US is made of up a variety of cultures (AL, PI, PSA, trump, mohawk, empire and now HP). It truely is a "MUTT" airline, as this F/A put it. And it's this unique "mutt" that has helped shape US today. Sometimes it's not been an easy transition, but let's hope that going forward this "mutt" continues to get better (and bigger).

Could be all those execs were left over from the very similar campaign HP had just started right before the merger.

And, don't hold your breath for actually seeing the ads on TV.
HP has never believed in spending a lot of $$ on advertising.

What do they spend a lot of money on?????? Oh, themselves...Hey Scott, how are those millions???? Your FA's have problems paying their bills...we see your belly and wallet is growing fatter. Maybe you can start a pension fund for your employees?

THATS why many of us are excited about the new US Airways. 😉

Good Lord! I was wondering how long it was going to take for the negativity to start. Can't you Negative Nellies give us just one freaking topic without your fu<king sniping? Can't you just accept that it's a new day at US Airways with a management team committed to running an airline? At least these guys in management now are doing something for their money and sincerely want to see this airline prosper and grow, and creating an airline with a future.

If they don't market the airline, you bit<h about it. When they do, you bit<h about that! Jeeeeezzzz!
