I think when it was originally annoucned, they said sometime in the 1st quarter ..so within 6 weeks (if that's still true). I also recently saw the "merged" employee site would be laucned 1st quarter.\

I hope it will be soon . my regstered guest wants to go to ARN!

Phase 2 coincides with the launch of the new employee website. I have heard it's architecture is based on the new consumer website since it will have to interact with 2 seperate res systems.

Date I have heard kicked around is March/April.

Your registered guest my have to wait a while, unless they travel with you. There is usually a travel embargo in place for registered guests/companion passes to Europe from May until October. This only affects if they are traveling by themselves.

I will be curious to see if they throw a complete travel embargo to any of the new destinations once they start up. I know Venice and Barcelona had them from May until July of last year. They will probably have one this year as well.

There will be no travel embargo. 🙂

It hasn't been announced yet, but they are looking for input from employees. You can send suggestions to corporate.communications@usairways.com

I would LOVE to hear what those of you on this board would name it? And thanx for the info!

How 'bout FlyUS or TravelwithUS for the non-rev site and USEmployees (I couldn't resist the redneck in me), USatwork, or WorkingUS (USWorking??) for the general employee site?

It could happen. For the employee page or non rev page I was thinking the "Landing Strip" or "USRunway". As an HP employee I really thought the HUB was easy to remember. Any other ideas?

I was thinking the "Landing Strip"

Much too suggestive.

Maybe we can merge with Hooters. At least employees would have a good laugh. Of course, if you have no sense of humor it would be wasted!

When you live where they protest Strip Clubs in the Strip District you can't help but laugh at anything with Strip in the name.
