Then its about time management got off their keister and actually work on making this one company. Peoples printouts still have to say "Operated by America West" and in those stations that are currently ONLY USAIRWAYS, people dont have a clue as to where to go. Same goes for some of the former West stations that still have America West signs everywhere. If we are one company, then it needs to be one and not one when its convenient and separate when it benefits management. This lies squarely on their shoulders. And if they were going to do such a half a**ed job of integration that they've taken 2 years to do, they should have just done the one name/one company two years ago. At least we'd be that much further ahead of the game.
To Kirk the Eastie who wrote up a West FA for her announcement....

And those names make it back out online to other f/a's!!
Remember a few years ago when the East was transitioning to liquid creamers from the nasty powder and on some flights you only had a few so you kept them (the liquid creamers) up in first class.
Do you remember the new hire that was non-reving and asked for coffee with creamer and she got the powder rather than the liquid so she went up to first class asking/demanding for the liquid which she did not receive and was promptly sent back to coach so she wrote the crew up. Do you remember what happened to her mailbox? 😛h34r:
It was inundated for months with liquid creamers.
Her name was passed on to every crew coming into her base (Pittsburgh) for a long time.
Does she still work here?
I know her Dad worked for the Company too, but I don't remember where.
Bottom line, don't write your fellow employees up, period!
You never know when it'll bite you in the arse. 😉
If it's safety contact the Union first, or if it's not safety related then professional standards is a good place to start. I personally address the situation right there and then or I forget about it.
Thank you. We have a few bad apples on the West too. Each one has learned there lesson the hard way!
God help the person writes up another FA for being in the lavatory for too long! 😀 😀 😀
That is funny. 😛

Figures
I read comments like yours and think of people like you who ignore warnings, low oil pressure lights, grinding noises and other symptoms of imminent failure. When inevitable failure occurs (Iraq or a car) you, like the moronic right wing, cannot figure out why their "will" cannot propel something forward, blaming the symptoms for trying to get your attention instead of blaming yourself for not taking basic steps to verify, then resolve the symptoms.
The symptoms are not the problem, as you imply. They are simply warnings that a problem is about to manifest itself, a problem you cannot understand because you consistently and finally blame the messengers. Thinking good thoughts in the face of and without addressing symptoms of fundamental problems is a certain path to destruction and brings to mind Nero while Rome burns or Baghdad Bob.
Whoa, hold on US1...before you go running with this one! Kirk did not write up the crewmemember nor did he have anything else to do with the write up. Kirk is a Westie, but the only thing he did in this whole affair is bring it out into the open. Period. B)
