Being "escorted off the property" is just a dramatic interpretation of the actual process involved when an employee leaves. Because the employee has an Airport Badge/Company ID that has to be displayed on their person at all times while they are on Airport property in secured areas, as the employee leaves for the last time, they must wear the Badge/ID displayed on their person out of the secured areas, then retrieved. I would think that all employees working in the Sand Castle also have to have ID's displayed for Security reasons also....that's how RIDC/Crystal City operated. Change is in the air....a little overdue...but you gotta start somewhere! Let's hope they can deliver this promise!

ROTFLMAO! Are you putting PK on notice? LOL. How much do you want to bet that PHL will be understaffed in May?

Thats to bad... if we had a contract i'd take a 4/5 day TDY outta phx anyday...cuz we are overstaffed way way over in phx
The preservation of one's dignity is entirely up to the person's boss. And, maybe, has something to do with the level of trust in the person who is leaving too.
Those who know my story know that I left EN under less-than-wonderful circumstances, although in the end, I did actually resign. If either party had wanted to go down the path, my physical departure could have been quite an ugly scene. Even though I was resigning, it was not entirely voluntary, and I was very upset.
I was allowed to pack 18 years worth of accumulated tchotchke, remove from my files any personal items and to leave my office without the indignity of someone scowling over my shoulder the entire time. I amicably reviewed with my boss the contents of my filing cabinet, explained where some legally-sensitive stuff was located and what it was about in case it was needed, made sure copies of reports and the processes for generating them were explained for the next user, was allowed to change my e-mail to inform people that I'd left the company, and then (a little tearfully) handed in my SIDA and employee ID badges and left the building -- without someone glaring at me the whole time and without an escort to my car.
All of that took place over the course of several hours without pay since I had already been off of the payroll for quite a while by that point.
So it can be done with dignity even in a negative situation.

Like she was responsible for that? Hardly. Actually, I miss it.
How many years to you need to bark the same old bark? Get over it.
So please tell us ETOPS, what koolaid was Sherri serving you? It must of had a Finlandia floater! Where the heck have you been? Good ride? Are you kidding me?
As for us here in Phoenix, I think we just had an injection of morale. It couldn't get worse than her!

Not sure about the east, etops, but here on the west it seems the inflight department does a pretty good job of "bringing accountability to the FA ranks" in PHX. We get called in for every little thing and I mean every little thing.
Wonder who will replace her?

You have got to be kidding me. Can you tell me one thing that was implemented correctly during her stay here?
Most F/As do their job correctly and don't worry about accountability. 9 out 10 F/As on the line could have done a better job than her.
AH.......the old Sea Shell Lounge, close to the crash pad when I was a new hire. Had a couple there a few times back in the day. Just to think that contracts were done their way back when, the company gets alittle, the employees get alittle, more civil and happier times.
you know very well. that is not true. peeps here at airways do what they want when they want. procedure and accountability? those words don't exist here. and that starts from the top down. this whole airline is a joke compared to other airlines out there.

Unbelievably clueless!
Do you actually fly the line? On my trips I see most of the big stuff done correctly. I'm not a F/A, so I can't say they say the exact verbage on the doors correctly, or read an announcement exactly, but on the things I deal with them, they do a good job. They have dealt with stupid decisions from above and made the system work. I watch the boarding process and am amazed we can get an airplane off the gate at all, much less on time.
You are correct that it starts from the top. For the beating this group has taken it's amazing what the troops produce. When I brief a crew I tell them that I'm that they are a valuable part of the crew and that I will help them with all I can. I rarely have an issue with them.
