Holy Mierda! I am a PHL B/H and cannot believe what she wrote. I hadn't read the letter until today in this thread! Does anyone know the F/A who met her at her flight from BOS? Does anyone personally know her, is she a mean person in general? I wonder if she will be flying her AMS trips in January. I may have to go on the AIL so I can work the cart with her and run over her toes. :lol:

im so serious and reading all the letters and I get to yours and bust out laughing. thank you I think we all needed that
 
i know her very well since i have flown with her to europe many times. she is always nice to me but i can see where she can be a bit of a b###. i am very upset that she would write a letter like this. it is none of her business what other people do. what gives her the right? i called her crashpad roomate yesterday to let her know about this letter. she was appauled since she is also on reserve. i am sure she will let cyndy know how she feels.
 
She's got a crashpad? Is it in Depressington? Oh honey... lol

It's so they don't have to worry about a reserve picking up thier trips as it's already been established that we are sub-human.

US Airways flight attendant group is arguably the biggest failure of any F/A group in the industry. Here are some of our accomplishments.

* Major airline with contract similar to commuters and budget carriers

* 1985 wages

* Dated, silly "me-too" clause with the most ball-less pilot group in the industry

* Worst reserve system with 24/7 duty and only way to make money giving up off days

* F/As with 9 years seniority eligible for food stamps and government aid in four of five domiciles

* Only carrier that permits seniority bullying in case of base closure displacement, affecting everyone on the seniority list

* Only major airline not hiring, only airline with furloughs (only other is AA-TWA)

* Worst scope clause in the industry, allowing express F/As to staff jets up to 90 seats, at what is the most short haul, regionalized, small aircraft oriented carrier of the majors.

* Dubious distinction of having more F/As on furlough than working at one point.

* Shrunk from nearly 11,000 to just over 5000, making us increasingly insignificant and weak in national AFA in a time of major consolidation.

* Bizarre, union sanctioned staffing model that puts people with 20 years on reserve. "Newest" most junior F/A was hired nearly a decade ago. Youngest F/A is almost 30.

* Shockingly poor voter turnout both for local elections and contracts.

* Can't negotiate a buyout anyone wants to take.

* Allowed two contracts on one certificate for "division" of airline, went along with company in not honoring these F/As longevity for active service

* Currently has two contracts on one certificate, negotiating new contract, of which 7 sections have been completed in 2 years. 35 sections left to go. That's some progress.

Now the union doesn't have control over some of these things, but I mean, come on... we are the losers, the laughingstock... just like the company we work for. Where is the outrage over ALL of these things, and many more?

Could any of this be because our own group would rather s*it on thier own or be selfish than try and empower themselves?

This F/A membership is anything but a union. Union or unity is the last thing that comes to mind.

Cyndy Atkins letter has just crystalized the whole thing, and put a face and a name to everything that is wrong with this group. She's just made herself a poster girl for the disgusting, ignorant attitude that has gotten us where we are today.

Ok we had a meeting yesterday and we are putting facts together. Unfortunately we will not have all the info for the union meeting which will be Dec 13. We will still be there and I hope to see many reserves there. The letter of Ms Cyndi will be brought up but I hope that will not be the topic of the meeting. We need to be there for the union to once again hear out thoughts on the reserve system. He will be informed of out intention of a petition for his and or union removal if he does not bring reserve issue to the table. We are not asking him we are telling him this is the last straw for us. And for those unbelievers yes yes they said women would never vote. Guess what? I can vote because of someone else courage. The pilots were sold down the river by their union. Now the pilots are in arbitration for a NEW UNION. You can check out their website USAPA http//usairlinepilots.org As we know it takes one person to start an action for is what unjust the rest will follow.

I only hope that people take this same anger and harness it to unleash on the union. Ya know, the VERY union that protects people JUST like her. FYI....don't bother bringing this up at the union meeting since John has made it clear he intends to stay out of it will not get involved.
 
I hope your meeting goes better than the ones we have in CLT. We have plenty of rsv's who like to b**h about things, but funny/sad thing is, they never show up to a meeting. Someone said earlier that "I was on duty", " I was on a trip" and other reasons. Hey, you know what, if you freakin cared enough, you would change your schedule to be there. I did and scheduling didn't have a problem when I told them why. So many rsv's in CLT blow hot air and then you never see them at a meeting. It looks really stupid when I bring something up that another rsv complains about and you look around the room and there is 10 rsv's in the room. Even the OPR's don't come over to the meeting, winch is in the crewroom. That is really pathetic. I am getting real tired of this fight/ front and noone is there to get your back. MF and the CLT office know how much this means to me, so I get their ear when I need it. And they listen, being that I am 18 1/2 years on rsv. Noone in this company has been on rsv more than I have. I don't want people to suffer the way I have, who are coming up behind me. I hope you people in PHL do well. Let me know and I will try to come to your meeting. Good Luck.

Mi amor, you said it all! My trip comes in super early, so I will be at the meeting, too. I wasn't at the last meeting but from what I have heard-------> Will the Union Officials get a free hot lunch again at our dime?
 
Wow I hope she changes her cellphone number - 2 am - 3am - 4am - 5am - 6am wake-up calls - now that sounds like what the RESERVES go through on a daily basis - maybe she would like a taste of our lifestyle :up:
