Rogue,
100 bucks will help me out. If I have to work for it month by month, I will. It buys gasoline and food.
Wow.. congrats! That $100 would be nice to have, every little bit helps.
What I don't understand though is how SO MANY of the people on here constantly #### and whine. Who is holding a gun to your head and telling you that you MUST work at US Airways and that you can't leave?? If you are so unhappy, go..leave.. there's the door. There are plenty of former employee's who would LOVE to have a job back at that airline, even with all the changes. I know in the IND airport when walking through the food court, all you ever hear from US employee's is "I hate this...", "I hate that..", "I wish I worked..." ... leave if it's so bad.. seriously. I am sorry to seem bitchy, but I work with several others that would be happy as a school girl to go back to US... peace

Hey Rogue...
you must love your hourly wage...???
I for one have taken paycut after paycut.... after paycut... now back at my starting hourly rate... from 1985....
so... that hundred dollars is welcome...
they are never going to incorporate it into an hourly wage.... its obvious you have not worked here long...
cuz the hourly wage just goes down...

Same here. And it'll pay for a ground school class I've been itching to take!
I agree. The complaints need to end. Put up or shut up. I agree completely, Bradley. I completely agree.
And I giveth thee a WURD UP! B)

If you weren't drinking something in a bottle labelled 'vodca', you would not have gone blind.

You got it right!! The big picture is being ignored. It's not raising the standard of living or improving benefits. It's like the King riding through the streets tossing money to the the people in the streets. I guess acknowledgement of being aware of what is really happening is b****ing and moaning.
So true, on so many levels.
I wonder if anyone tracks the number of "checked bags" per passenger nowadays vs a year ago. Seems to me that if that number has decreased, then the failure number would have decreased, also.
Charging for checked bags would naturally seem to decrease the number of checked bags, which, should, decrease the number of complaints. It would be nice to see real numbers rather than subjective "analysis" by vodca koolaide drinkers.
I can see why you seem to be a company shill.
The point is the ratio is not the same for changing amounts of baggage, systemic constraints playing a large part in the ratio as volume increases, even capping and shuttering baggage throughput as happened in PHL several seasons ago. Your misunderstanding of such simple logic makes you a palin for incompetent management.
As the volume of baggage throughput decreases (time in system increases, increasing likelihood for "failure"), assuming the infrastructure does not change, the complaint ratio will always decrease faster than straight line assumptions, just as increasing the baggage volume will tend to increase problems faster than straight line. As the volume approaches system capacity, any amoeba should expect volatile results, even total system shutdown.
I simply pointed out that the environment changed, inducing passengers to not check baggage, resulting in less through put and the ratios should decrease as the now excess capacity can better handle the flow. That concept should cause anyone to question whether "increased worker enthusiasm" had anything to do with the lower number of "baggage" complaints.
You really should spend some time in the customs baggage claim area in PHL talking with US employees handling passenger complaints (the people on the floor). It might open your eyes to what is really going on, staffing numbers for containerized systems (76-330) used on non-containerized systems (75-73-ab) and how that slows and even stops the process. Not to mention the horrid compensation (less than MacDonalds). How hiring ex-cons (tax breaks?) results in more need to hire "security folks", resulting in a virtual prison system in the ramp/processing area.
Typically (for US) expensive exercise usually referred to as stepping over dollars to pick up pennies.
Total Bags are down 16% but that should only really matter if the system was at or over capacity.
Sure it is a bit easier if there are fewer overall.
As it was the bag improvement was over 50% that is a real improvement!

The fact is, you could pay some of the complainers on here the biggest salaries in the industry and they will never be happy.
We have all gone through painful cuts. People who are constantly miserable bring it upon themselves. Be thankful for what you get, even if it's $100.00.
When I find a quarter on the floor I don't pick it up and say "Just tweny-five cents? Heck, I need tweny-five hundred!" No, I'm thankful for every cent I can get, and bigger rewards always come my way.
On the day I filled out my United Way contribution, I could only afford to give $10.00 out of each paycheck. But that same day I found $10.00 on a plane while I was cleaning. That's the God's truth.
Too many people rely on the union or management to make them happy. When this is the case, they will never be happy. Take responsibility for your own happiness and well being. If your job is so bad then quit.
I love my job and it seems no matter what kind of cuts come my way I'm still okay.
