[ClueByFour]

Story in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Despite all that I think about ALPA as an entity, Pollock is spot on.

1 Does Dave have a plan?

2 Why has he never shown it?

3 Is it something more in-depth than "Hey lets rape our employees"

4 Since when has he consulted or asked permission to Steal Pilots pensions or Machinists work or to attempt to break any other area of a contract, with of course the exception of he's own or those of his small army of corporate goons?

 

[Reservation Agent]

Any suggestions on a new person to lead USAIRWAYS?

If I were a leader in ALPA,AFA,CWA and IAM....I would be PROACTIVE and start looking! If your serious about getting rid of Siegel lets have someone lined up and ready.

Johnny Ornstein will be happy to buy key parts of USAir to get his life long dream of owning a BIG airline........ :blink:

 

[robbedagain]

way to go ALPA! Why cant the other unions publicly state something of that nature
because I firmly believe that seigel and his incoherent mgmt team are to blame. We as ramp agents have given something like 2 billion and they cant use it to help
then obiviously they have mismanaged the money the wrong way!

The bigger question that I would ask is if Pollock is on the board why has he not suggested to the board that we have an incompetent management team that needs to be replaced

The Napoleon Complex is a painful psychological condition afflicting people
with delusions of grandeur - popularly known as megalomaniacs - who may
believe they really are Napoleon. Now we don't need to imagine what
Napoleon might have done with US Airways since we're living it.

Food For Thought...

In 1812, in the path of Napoleon's advancing army, the Russians abandoned
the city of Smolensk and torched it. Napoleon, watching with several aides,
compared the inferno to an eruption of Vesuvius, and asked rhetorically
whether it was indeed a fine sight. "Horrible, sire," an aide replied.
Napoleon disagreed: "Remember, gentlemen," he declared, "as a Roman emperor
once remarked, 'The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet!'"
