I dont think many people here would argue that these are critical times that need drastic measures, HOWEVER, you can tell me the company couldnt have done this three weeks ago OR waited until Friday or Monday? Why do it 3 days before the holidays? Its bad enough losing your job, but 3 days before the holidays? Arent they stressful enough for most people WITHOUT having the added news that you're not going to have a job now? Would three extra days have sent us Chapter 7? If so, then nothing we do is going to help now, just get it over with already so we can start a NEW year off fresh. The news of a job loss is sickening enough, but the timing just smacks those in the face that much more.

Don't know if the company could have announced / closed TPA 3 weeks ago or waited until after Thanksgiving. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe if/when US emerges from chpt.11 as a reorganized airline these actions of management will be seen as bold move. Luckily locks are going up only at a hangar at one station and not system wide. On the other hand, maybe it is too little too late.
