Parker fiddles in Rome while SHARES is in flames

[BuffaloJoe]

We handle our own flights in Rome. :blink:

I wasn't sure how they did that there.

 

[EMBFA]

US operates its own flights in Europe for customer service, outside is contracted.

"Ladies and gentle, from the flight deck, this is the captain. We realize that our departure time for your flight to Rome has come and gone. We apologize for the delay, but the ground personnel are still loading baggage into the cargo hold. We are not sure how much longer this will take, as there has been no information passed on to the cockpit regarding the length of the delay. However, today you are welcome to voice your concerns about USAirways service in Philadelphia with the Chairman of USAirways, Mr. Doug Parker. Mr. Parker is sitting in Row 20, seat C. While we are delayed here at the gate, feel free to pass by and tell the head of the airline just what you think. And thanks again for choosing USAirways. We will be passing along any information we receive concerning the length of our ground delay here in Philadelphia."

Would the flight ever get to depart?

I like it though!

 

[OTslave]

Why is Mr. Parker in Rome? He should be like Scotty on the Enterprise right now trying to get more power to run SHARES properly.

Didn't you hear ?
He's making a bid for Alitalia.

And the "New Name" for US Airways will become the "Spaghetti Westerns" Airlines. :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

IS this a joke?
Something tells me IT'S NOT!

Doug sat in all the meetings with IT to make sure the conversion was unsuccessful. He needed some rest from directing all this evil thrown onto the employees. He will come back with his batteries charged to create even more problems for employees. I'm sure any reservation system US converted to - everyone would have been unhappy.

Hopefully, not as unhappy as you about failed spin.

 

[as the prop turns]

FIRST CLASS IS NOT A BOARDING PASS, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE

 

[jcw]

actually shouldn't the entire IT staff be fired for such a poor job. They are front line employees as well.

 

[700UW]

IT staff are not frontline employees, frontline means working with the public and passengers.

THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!! The next announcement would have been "flight attendants we need a body bag".

 

[jcw]

I stand corrected. The IT folks are in on the scam as well. They thought lets make sure we screw up this conversion, just like all the baggage folks ensure bags missconnect.

thats just plain stupid....do we think they planned this on purpose to screw up operations....probably not....but the FACT remains that this system was not ready for conversion and not capable of handling the size and scope needed to run an international operation.....as of today almost 6 weeks later stil no intl avail...how do I handle the oversales htat are sure to come this summer on transatlantic when I cant rebook

If it wasnt ready they should have stayed with Sabre
