Looks like employees on furlough able to go to PHL on temp. basis.
Is 'Uncle Al' trying to fix the problem ?

They called me 15.55 an hr 27.00 a day 150.00 expense.
Havent made my mind up yet.you get 17.00 if the contract is passed.
After what the IAM just did to MLE cities pretty hard to trust them.

The IAM did not to that, you voted it in, you did it along with the company.

You are the one who chose not follow your job, jeez accept it all ready.

As of this afternoon, there were 30 people who are on furlough in pit who signed up for the deal.The company was hoping for 80 to a 100.I'm sure our ramp brothers in phl will welcome these guys with open arms.
Also why isn't Crellin held responsible for the Xmas fiasco?

Why wouldn't they? :huh:

If PHL was staffed properly according to Crellin and his gang of experts..... Then the question arises why would one need to put so many bodies in now when this is the slower time of the year. Crellin is only trying to cover his butt because their staffing module is screwed up and none of those that decide the staffing numbers have ever worked in a station or in PHL to understand their unique problems. Why isn't he being held 200% accountable for the events that happened over the Christmas Holidays. If they had listen before hand then these 200 bodies would have already been in PHL during the Holidays and a bad situation would have been made easier and possibly avoided. The time has come in 05 for change ..... Crellin and his clowns must be removed!!!!!!!!!!

Things will be much better in PHL in no time. I promise you that. The recruiting efforts are going great. Even the PHL Inquirer ran a positive story this week on our recruiting. The temp furloughees will also be a great help.

Hey Hawk:

I was under the impression after the Holiday "Meltdown" that things in PHL were doing good. I think I recall a spokesperson stating the baggage problems were a result of labor unrest and the station was fully staffed? Why all of a sudden is U in such a mad rush to put more people onboard? Who was in charge of the staffing levels in PHL prior to the holidays? Why during the slowest travel period of the year is U hiring so many workers? Just a few of my questions....

Don't you just love shutting the barn door after the cow already came in and defecated?

Operational management acumen at 11.

On November 15th you said that "the holiday incentive program will reduce sick calls." You were wrong then, and you're wrong now.

The company publicly blamed the FSA group for being a major cause of the holiday disruption, yet they're filling 150 to 200 FSA positions during the slowest time of the year. Did sick calls add to the holiday problem? Absolutely, but if PHL was properly staffed to begin with then the FSAs who went to work over the holidays would have been able to handle the added load much easier. When staffed properly the average gate should have 4 agents, and if one calls out sick you can still get the job done with minimal delay. PHL has been running with too many 3 man teams...lose one agent to a sick call and you're screwed. Add no equipment to the mix and you might as well go home sick too. It's a very simple process....give FSA the proper amount of manpower and equipment (that operates) and the job will get done. Go back to when R.P. was Station Director and either A.H or B.D was Ramp Manager, things were run the right way.

This fix in PHL will only be temporary, just as all the others have been. Some dweeb in CCY will look at staffing in 6 months and try to cut some corners....again. It happens all the time. Then where will PHL be? Right back to where we've been for the past year. Understaffed, short operating equipment, and taking massive delays and bag claims.

I promise you that.

C'mon Hawk, a legendary operational meltdown. How could things get any better?

.........
I think that applies for ALL stations. Everywhere I look in my station, I see equipment with the hood up, red tags on the steering wheel, plus verbal instructions not to call the contract ground mech cause no equipment is to be worked on until contracts settled. Nobody takes overtime, so all shifts work short. The stations motto...."It don't matter".....or is that CCY motto. I forget. Oh well, which ever. It don't matter.
