Seniortiy

[hulagirl]

So I still don't understand how someone can have a 1957 seniority number?

Don't you need to be able to lift your own bags to be a flight attendant at US?

"Unfortunately ladies and gentlemen we are unable to peform a beverage service because one of our flight attendants dislocated her plastic hip. And the other wet their depends."

How the heck does someone in their seventies expect to evacuate a plane anyhow???

You obviously weren't at AWA when Wanza retired. She was in her mid-60's, and managed just fine. Your conversation regarding age is showing yours. And, it is very discriminatory. Chill out! B)

Wasn't Wanza also referred to as "Salads over STL"?

I hate having to pick up someone elses slack because they are either too old or too lazy to do their part.

AMEN TO THAT!!

Yes that is fine but you guys are already hurting for people and I can assure you that that fence won't be a 10 year fence like you probably want. We just want to do our job not fight like children over a mute point such as this,
You guys act like Phoenix is a holy land or something, LOL. Most of us have been displaced at some point, tdy'd, etc... You just kinda have to live with it when that kind of stuff happens and you are playing by the rules... If you don't play by the rules you will see some nasty shady stuff start to go on.

BRING IT ON SISTA! I said we were nice. I didn't say we weren't tough or couldn't hold our own ground. By the way. The word is "moot", not "mute."

Yes. Wanza was referred to as Salads over STL. I had the pleasure of working with her before she retired, but she wasn't lazy. Just slow and took us forever to do the service, but she was a pleasure to work with. Very pleasant and nice.

Excuse me then "moot" ... and I don't argue like a child like yourself over things that have no point in arguing over in the first place., That just goes to show your attitude and immaturity, sucks to be you - and as I said before I hope you don't represent you co-workers, because the light bulb isn't burning that bright -

No. There are lots of potential alternatives besides DOH. DOH is not at all fair to the HP F/As.

But, it is in the bylaws, rightly or wrongly. So by that definition of fair (you shouldn't change the rules halfway through the game), the U F/As have a point.

Sky high states: Lets call ''DATE OF HIRE'' what it really is. YOUR SENIORITY.
It defines your vacation, your pay, your quality of life, trips, positions, etc.
U flight attendants have GIVEN BACK many compromises in all of those areas via concession rounds...1..2..and 3.
I cant see the reasoning to "slot" someone with 25 yrs SENIORITY (most senior F/A at HP) next to someone with 40 YEARS SENIORITY (senior F/A at U). You've just given someone SENIORITY.............THEY DIDNT EARN!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't argue! Hey, you started it. I asked a question, you came back with pure nastiness. And, even though my light bulb may be a little dim at times, at least I don't have to deal with an extinguished flame - or was candle wax even invented when you started - or even fire discovered for that matter, you old dinosaur. Now, if you'll just post your address, I'll send you a basic grammar and punctuation book, as well as a dictionary. Until then, you are being ignored.

I pray Parker kills the deal and you can fight about seniority in the unemployment line.

Every airline in which U has merged with has ALWAYS been date of hire. The last merger was with the Trump Shuttle that was former Eastern Shuttle. It works. Why try to fix something that isn't broken? Unfort you can't make everyone happy.

YOUR SENIORITY.

[post="295673"][/post]​

Just a silly little question from someone without enough time left to worry about such petty things......

If your vacation, pay, QOL, trips, positions, etc, stay the same after the merger as they were before the merger, does that mean your seniority stayed the same?

I am not an old dinosaur and I don't think this is a board that is known for grammar etc., For your information as well I am a flight attendant with less than 10 years seniority but hey call me a dinosaur if you want. Unlike your friend Matthew on the AWA board I am not stupid enough to post that information, you may ignore me now but you won't when I junior man you to the back galley, now what?

Sincerely,

Dinosaur

OK, I'll bring snacks for the America West people too since the line will be a long one, since of course you will be in that same line.. Unreal to me that you think that HP can make it alone...

Dino:

1. Meatball likes the aft galley;

2. You are likely to be losing this kicking someone to the back stuff;

3. Why do you consistantly forget that you guys have been thru BK twice in three years and then pull this superior attitude on us?

Hey HP is NOT the one in Bankruptcy, the only reason you can get the financing to pay off YOUR debts(from your lack of management skills) is because HP is now involved.
Funny it looks like the NEW management team is made up primarily of HP executives, with the exception of one. I guess management skills are recognized in a Successful organization like HP. US should be thankful we (HP)took on the merger opportunity to grow our airline HP..(just using your US name- with all the bad PR) maybe we should have kept the HP name and see how you all feel working for a Successful airline. I still say, be thankful you still have a job...DOH will not work.
