Michael Boyd, aviation consultant, on Early Show this morning:
"If management of US Airways continue to treat their employees like cattle, that are easily replaced, there will be no US Airways in the near future. Management must bring the employees into the fold."
He also hinted that though this "sick-out" may not have been an organized effort to disrupt service, it should NOT HAVE BEEN UNEXPECTED after the events of the last several years.
This company needs outside help to bring employees and management to middle ground. The distrust between the two groups is like a living thing. I personally believe that the AFA TA will ratify by a slim margin. Then I fully expect management to rewrite the agreement before the ink is dry. Just like the last agreement! You reap what you sow.
For the many employees that showed up to work, missing Christmas with their own families, my hat goes off to you! For those employees that called off sick when they were not legitimately ill, though I understand your anger and frustration with the company, and though the company has done NOTHING to provide an incentive for you to work over the holidays, it saddens me that such a capable and once proud employee group has sunk to the same level as management.
For many many years, the employees at US have gone the extra mile to keep the passengers happy, and to make the airline successful, in spite of whatever management team is in charge today. It is apparent that some of the employees have now begun to believe what management has been telling you for years; You are replacable! Again, US management, "you reap what you sow!"
