Us Airways mishandled 80% more bags in 2005 than 2004, and they did it without a Christmas meltdown.
How could that possibly be?

Payback is a b**ch! Management treats the employees like crap and we do have ways to get back!
It's easy to make a mistake on bags if they say BDL and they get sent to BDA!

Belts break just a fact,happens frequently here in PHX,we utilize to keep the mbr down.Well the Xmas meltdown lasted into New Years week last year (2005) so those numbers would be included with 2005 and not 2004. Also I can remember at least 3 times that the baggage belt in PHL broke down (and I dont even work in baggage) so this could be a good start to the uptick. How many bags miss each time the belt breaks X how many times it broke?
So what would the ratio be if you removed PHL from this equation?PHL-PHL-PHL
The TWU is many things but the savior of PAWOBS? Highly unlikely IMO. The infrastructure in PHL is among the worst in any major airport.
One of the reasons for the crappy attitude of the ramp in PHL is IMO directly in the "Crap Hole" that is PHL.
USA Failed to note that the numbers have improved lately.

The last fact is PHL ...PHILLY... Filthadelphia what ever cute name you have for the station. This station generates
65% of USAirways cash why would all the international service be here and not in PIT OR CLT?
Oh please give me a break. If PHL brings in 65% of the companies cash it probably throws out 90% of it on inefficiencies.
Funny how the financial situation just kept getting worse as more and more of the northeast operation was moved to PHL.
That doesn't even count the great ex-customers that will never ever fly US again, because they were screwed over so much in PHL.
Please stop talking about Uncle AlScrap PHL and you might as well call it a career. As disfunctional as you all claim this station is. The recipe for the problems is

Dude:
You're right on the money with your assessment. No mater how much revenue can be attributed to PHL, the majority of it goes out the back door in operational costs, baggage delivery, and dissatisfied customers who are happy to have Southwest there to give them an alternative.
To this day, US Airways has not hired a consultant to do an independent evaluation of the revenue/cost equation for PHL (that we know of. Al Kremlin might have comissioned an evaluation and then buried the results). I bet Doug Parker and company would be very surprised to see the true cost of operating a hub in PHL, and would take steps to rectify the situation if they had accurate information.
Regardless, the failures at PHL are ultimately the responsibility of management, and
if they really want to fix PHL, they need to hire a sufficient number of responsible agents as replacements for the majority of the ramp agents, train them thoroughly and properly, and give them the tools to do their jobs. This costs real money and would probably erode any revenue premium that exists, so I doubt we'll see it in our lifetime.
I dont think B.O.B works for USAIR. Her attitude is a reflection of the industry, not any particular company.Sure you're mad at management so you screw your customer...
If your attitude prevailed there wouldn't be a US Airways today.
