"Thank You"

ARLINGTON (theHub.com) - Under the media attention and speculation voiced by airline analysts over the last few weeks regarding US Airways, ran a current of compliments, kudos and words of support from a different set of specialists -- customers.

One employee who volunteered her time in Philadelphia said that a woman approached her and identified herself as a Chairman’s Preferred customer. The elite Dividend Miles member said that US Airways is “herâ€￾ carrier and that nothing could convince her to fly with another airline. She then said simply, “Thank you.â€￾ Those few simple words meant the world of difference to this and many employees, making the long days worthwhile.

In addition to Philadelphia, loyal customers approached employees in Hartford, Canton/Akron, Boston, LaGuardia, Washington, Providence, Manchester, N.H., Raleigh, Baltimore and other cities to express their appreciation for the superior service provided by the majority of US Airways employees over the holidays.

Gold Preferred customers Jim Johnston and Alysia Brown of FFOCUS (Frequent Flyers Organized and Committed to US Airways Success) organized an effort joined by six other FFOCUS members to hand out cards with small bags of candy to employees.

Each card read, “Today, several of our members are participating in a goodwill mileage run. Yes, we are accumulating miles and status because of a recent offer. More importantly, we are using this as an opportunity to greet the best airline employees out there and to thank you for the wonderful service you give to us everyday on US Airways.â€￾
 
US Airways is lucky to have FFOCUS members like Tom Bascom and PineyBob as customers. I would like to thank you for flying US Airways and for helping to save our airline.

Best regards,

I agree with jimcfs,,,,all of the US employees I have encountered have been great and no doubt deserve a better deal.

I was happy to participate on one of the flights with Jim and Alysia last weekend.

PITBull, I agree with your post.

I would also like ot thank Art at ISP, the only FFOCUS member I have met.

I beleve FFOCUS is a great group of people who I want to thank again, and to tell you I appreciate your efforts and business.

Regards,

I too flew several RTs this weekend, including one with Jim and Alysia. The frontline employees were fantastic. It was a pleasure to ride around and hand out little gifts. I know this group (FFOCUS) has taken some grief over our use of GoFares by those that have suggested we buy more expensive fares; however, there are other factors at play. While I haven't purchased expensive fares over the past few weeks I have given out over $500 in gift certificates to front-line employees (Gate Agents, Flight Attendants, Pilots, Club Staff, etc.), it might not sound like a lot, but believe me it adds up. If I haven't been on one of your flights or visited the Club that you work in I apologize. I am flying again tomorrow and am hoping to meet some new faces. I know some of you question what is different about US v. other airlines. It is said time and time again that the front-line employees make the difference and it is 100% true. And the CP desk rocks!!!!

:up: :up: :up: Thanks for your continued support. Now can somebody, and we have alot of influential peopl who fly on US often, PLEASE get the USATODAY and other media outlets to STOP calling for our death and demise. Most of the stoires have erroneous facts and misinformation in them. If US is to survive, we need to have some postive spin. Again thanks so so much for your continued support!!!

It was nice of you all to hand out things like candy and gift certificates to those working at the airports, but have you all forgotten those working on the very first line---reservations??? Those people work just as hard and keep U's lines open to the public 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I would like to tip my hat to those on the first line. You are all great agents and it was a pleasure to work with you many many Christmas's and New Years's. I actually wanted to call you all and tell you what a good job you do---but then realized that my call might have prevented you from getting VTO. I was lucky enough this year to get both Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day off---because of my bid, but you were all still in my thoughts. Good luck those in Pit and Int.
 
Thanks for the thoughts people, but, we realise at the moment (soon to be changed) there are too many of us, and Piney has been to us before.

Actually some time back we visited the fine folks at the CP Desk and distributed over $100.00 in Jelly Beans and assorted other goodies. When I do my tour soon I hope to have a bag full of stuff for every employee involved in getting me where I'm going.

We didn't forget reservations, it's just not real easy to reach out to them. Stay tuned however, as US emerges from the ashes efforts will be made on a grander scale. I would tell you how except it's all in the planning stage.

That's good Piney--They are so often forgotten. Though I'm not there anymore I still consider them my friends and family. ``They're good people. I still think you should be the CEO. Have a good day.
