I have not posted to this board in a while, but have read most of the posts regarding U''s future and the voting coming up. I am not a U employee therefore I do not all the small details not put in press releases regarding cutbacks, however, it seems that many on this board wish to vote no almost as a way to get back at the company. What i do not understand is how so many people can care so little about the jobs of others. If you are unhappy with the current situation at U, then you can leave and find another job. No one is forcing you to stay. However, there are many people at U that, even with all the concessions, need their positions. The economy is one of the worst in recent memory and I too have felt the brunt. Before being laid off, myself and my colleagues begged for salary cuts, insurance hikes, vacation reductions, etc. We asked for anything to keep us on the payroll as finding another job is extremely difficult right now. However, management just couldn''t swing it, and I found myself at the unemployment office collecting miniscule checks for a full 5 months. I know that this message will set a lot of people off, but people need to face reality that the airline is in dire straits and without ratification, there will ne no US Airways and tens of thousands of people will be out of a job.
If you are so utterly disgusted at U, then leave, but please do not force those that NEED to stay to go with you.................
Best of luck to all U''s employees. I fly U to every city I fly to (if you serve it) and I do so because of your excellent product and truly superior customer service. I only come in contact with front line employees in my travels, so I can only remark on them - but they are, by far, the best in the industry. Thank you very much for making my travels enjoyable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
