I wonder will it happen in April when the the employee numbers in reservations start to drop? We've all been waiting for the news.....just wondering when? Surely - we will not need all the supervisors we have in INT if employee numbers drop...?
When Are The Mgmt Staff Reductions Coming?

Surely you jest! Managers and supervisors are valuable assets. We must, in fact, give them a raise to keep them from jumping ship to one of our competitors.
Before I was furloughed, a ramp crew of 5 unloaded an inbound a/c, then went up and cleaned the cabin, then came back to the ramp and loaded the outbound bags.
After the 01JAN layoffs, the crew is now 3 doing the same job. Recently at ORD, I witnessed a crew of 3 guys cleaning the cabin on my plane while being supervised by 3 management employees standing in F/C criticizing the cleaners' work. I would guess that none of the ramp crew had less than 15 years; so, supervising their every move was critical.
I'm sure that your reservationists need the same level of supervision. :huh:

When the company announced the Pit res office closure the supervisors were all told by KC that there would be postions for them in the company. Apparently they will create jobs at RIDC for them or give them preferential bidding on COB's. Perhaps the INT supervisors will be told the same if the headcount reduces that much.
On another note- the company is able to replace the EO positions with outsourced positions but they don't have to. They could hire off the street in INT to keep headcount and the specialty desks in the US. Otherwise can you imagine our CHP desk in Mexico? After all the INT agents leave I wonder if there will be enough agents there for all the different desk- plus ticketing which is being moved from PIT to INT.

Just think how unfair this really is.
This is the same management team that got a 4% raise last June and a 5% paycut for the TP plan (net one percent lose) plus their claim of 20% cut in staffing.
Now we are losing 1,000's of jobs and their jobs "are safe". This is real BS.
I hope they all rot in hell.
