Pitty
Calm down before you have a heart attack. I know you are angry, but please try to understand that everyone has an opinion and it unfair of you to somehow make everyone seem wrong because they do not agree with you.
I find it laughable that the city of Pittsburgh would NEED a threat to get them to get rid of that old rat trap of an airport and build a state of the art facility. The city should have build it because the old airport was third world at best. Don't blame US Airways because YOUR city sat on their asses and watched the rest of the country modernize while they had the worst airport.
Would you honestly give a damn about this issue if it were any other city or state? You come on here almost shaming people because they are not waving the PA flag. Let me make this clear. For all I care US Airways could pull out of the entire state of PA. And yes, they should NOT ask for a dime from YOUR state or YOUR tax dollars. This company is as crooked as any other and has the right, like you said, to go anywhere they desire or pull out anywhere they desire. So for that we agree.....but please stop trying to make this a central issue because you are only coming across in a very negative way.
I would like to know where you were when we pulled out of so many other cities? I'm sure you were concerned, but where was the anger? the passion? The PITBULL that defends PA like a mother bear? Sorry, Pitty, but I find that hypocritical. Yeah, Blah, blah, US Airways has thousands of jobs in PA. But you forget that PA is the last to get shafted by this company. The 25,000 jobs you proclaim lost from U were not from PA, sista. Try the rest of what was...but everytime someone brings it up, you and others dismiss it has old grudges. But now that it is your beloved PA, everyone should rally in Harrisburg? Keep dreaming.
I do applaud you for your hard work and dedication, but when you make the state of PA the central issue because it is where YOU are from, you slap in the face the concerns of the bases in CLT, DCA, BOS, and LGA...inparticularly LGA, where that beautiful facility is being waisted on rj's and the base doesn't rise above 22 lines in the largest city in the US. The Shuttle is going to hell. The LGA facility is falling apart. We have given all Florida flying to Song and Jetblue (even though they are at JFK), the pilots aren't trained for eow so the SJU flights and any other flts cant be flown out of the LGA base. We are told we are going to exploit the LGA market but with the same little airplanes you say will darken the skies of PA. Where are you PITTY? Do you have any concern about the state of New York and its rj darkened skies?you spoken to the LEC LGA President about HIS concerns? I know, you' re interest is in the PIT base, but it is called the MEC for a reason and all members should be concerned for ALL bases and cities served.
I am just fed up with the constant negative energy of this company and it ain't all from Sleezgle and his croonies. I am at the point in my life where I have had it. With the negative, hateful energy I sense everyday from this company and this forum, I just want to put my hands up and say no more. I think most of you just want to fight and #### and play victim. You can argue it to me until your blue in the face. I can only hope the angry parties involved with talking to the company have cooler heads when sitting down because if I were in their position and had the venom thrown at me I wouldn't even listen.
I keep hearing how PIT id the redheaded step sister. Please!!!!!!!!!!!! Give me a break!!! Take a number and stand in line. One word for ya, PA....VICTIM!! :angry:
