Why wouldn't he take over marketing after all look what he successfully marketed to the pilots and flight attendants.

Wow. Again, not a soul from the outside.

I can't imagine what someone outside the company would find useful about joining a company, not at the eleventh hour, but at 11:59:59.

 

[RowUnderDCA]

The "wow" was aimed at the complexity of the shake-up and the number of exiters, not the fact that no-one is signing up.

 

[usfliboi]

Then youd be complaining about hiring........ Ashby was alittle more than lead on the talks... in fact a little bird tells me hes on his way up... WAY UP!

 

[Rico]

Ummm, I do not get how exactly you say 320 was wrong 700UW...?

From what you quoted and what was written in the article, it sounds like 320 was right on both parts.

But do not let the facts get into your way 700uw

[700UW]

Rico do you not understand what the word every means?

He said Asbhy was in charge of EVERY Negotiations, IAM, CWA, TWU, ALPA and AFA, which he was not, only ALPA and AFA.

From the company Press Release:

Ashby was the lead negotiator in reaching cost savings labor agreements with the company's pilots and flight attendants.

Understand now?
Hmm No mention of CWA, IAM and TWU. Read below.

Ashby was directly involved in every negotiation and he set the terms of each agreement or final proposal.

USA320Pilot

For the last six months Ashby has lead all of the labor negotiations and this work is now complete. With the Star, United, & regional airline alliance integrations complete, express changes for MDA, PSA, & Allegheny/Piedmont complete, Ashby can now return to his marketing roots.

Wow...talk about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. And still no announcement about the $100 million in financing or cost savings required by GE.

 

[RowUnderDCA]

EEEESH.... 700, can you please stop asking posters if the "can't understand something?" Reading your posts would be 1000 times more pleasant, without the totally unnecessary insults, especially coming from someone who frequently omits 'understanding' in his or her own posts. For example AGAIN you use faulty logic to somehow 'prove' your point with the stupid Ashby as negotiator issue.

The article that you cite and the excerpt that you cite does NOT refute USA3's claim. You are correct that the article does not support USA3's claim but it manifestly does not refute it. You consistently do this to the point that it seems like you're looking for any excuse to simply through something at somebody without any concern with your own lost credibility as a thinking person.

SO AT LEAST drop the bile.

Oh, gee, you are so right 700UW, I guess that he was not involved with those discussions at all, gave no input whatsoever, and is now going to pay for it by being promoted.

Dude,

You need a hobby.

If you have to jump up and down pointing at one company release saying that 320 was way off base, "hahaha". Then you just make yourself look sadder by the moment.

 

[air chief]

Wow. Again, not a soul from the outside.
