Hello all,
I just read the Post''s article from today. It again misreports facts. Obviously these figure are being given out by US Airways. They report that CWA is being asked for only $70 million over 6.5 years. The fact is they started at 87 million and have increased that demand on each and every new proposal since then. Now as they report, CWA is being threatened with a fine of 2.5 million per month for six months if they do not reach an agreement for concessions. They are threatening the IAM as well but for a larger figure over 5 million a month for six months.
30,000 a year salary guarantees? HA.
Remember that figure comes from hourly base rate extrapolated. But, it does not mean you get to keep it. They will take a huge amount of that take home pay for the new health plan and when you take your vacation. And if you happen to be between 5 and 6 years seniority, you will go down to below 30,000 a year in any calculation. So, is this a guarantee or just a flat out lie. I call it a LIE guarantee! Sixth year agents will make about 25,000/yr down from the current 34,000/yr due to the slide of A-scale up one more year. I guess that those above 30,000 to begin with are subject to going down much further than others but noone at crystal city wants to admit those facts to the media.
No other group in this company has to deal with the fallout as we do. Yet, the company has no respect for us at all. They think anyone can pacify passengers enough to sell them a ticket with more restrictive rules than they have ever seen. They certainly take us for granted. I doubt the judge will look at us as such a burden to this company. He will probably show us much more respect than Dave has. So, I would welcome his respect, as I have lost all respect for our bonus driven leader.
As Dave takes our customer service for granted, our passengers do not. They will certainly take our competitors due to the better service they will receive after Dave gets the kind of people he wants dealing with the public. Southwest must be having a gut wrenching laugh about U''s management decisions.
