So now the easties have to retrain returnees so they don't get themselves in trouble with the morons in Tempe ( Not trying to denegrate actual diagnosed morons by comparing them to the screwups in Tempe.)
It is fairly truthful to say that Tempe grades everyone by what happens in PHX. Like setting rules based on some fantasy world, it ends up presenting severe logical inconsistencies when applied to different domiciles. Been there, done that. Looking forward to the day that PHX gets downsized into oblivion, even as PIT, the "mecca" of the last decade, fades into insignificance.

USSNARK –
Where do I begin about how wrong your post is to the professionalism of our career? Calling PHX based flight attendants morons, denigrates, and screw-ups is totally uncalled for and not needed. If it was intended for management; - I personally do not feel that we are running in the correct direction for our airline but name calling never help either. As for wishing harm to any flight attendant in any base whether it be Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Boston or Las Vegas, or Phoenix is flat out wrong. If such downsizing or base movement was done it would not only effect flight attendants but pilots and also moral not to mention the hardship that would accompany flight attendants financially. I find it shocking that you would wish Phoenix to be closed or be downsized into oblivion since some of the most qualified flight attendants out east would like to be closer to home ( not all but some) I do not understand why you would wish harm to any flight attendant? Why? I have never heard any west flight attendant jumping for joy that any temporary duty assignments/base movements are taking place in Pittsburg or that some of our extreme qualified flight attendants are being uprooted from there roots in Pittsburg and moved around our network. As for your co workers (and not some red headed step child as you write) we as phoenix based flight attendants do the same policies and procedures as our counterparts out east and we do it a hell of a lot cheaper….
Your anger and resentment toward base changes, pay and benefits reductions should be aimed at management and your union officials not by attacking your right hand (your co workers on the west). We have done nothing wrong to you and you all ready have your date of hire, your non rev classifications, your ability one day to change our lives with our schedules. What more do you want from the west employees. If it’s our blood you’re asking for then you are seriously need to re-examine your feelings and emotions. I for one think that my west co-workers as well as my east counter parts are extremely qualified and worth pay raises and benefits as well as compensation for many past company indiscretions. I also feel that board as well these sites creates more anger and resentment with each passing day.
I also feel that your hatred toward the west employees will only hurt you in the end. I shall leave you with a quote… my good brother/sister on the east;

“Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life. “– Joan Lunden

As for how I personally feel toward you USSNARK –
May your day get brighter; I also hope that today you find your peace with the issues that you feel has wronged you professionally, spiritually, and financially and find your inner peace with this merger.
