Woo Hoo! $100

[Toothy Grin]

yes, exactly!

In the view of some power mongers, the people/mass cattle are not able to change no matter what information is presented to them, therefore, let them rot, let them be controlled, let them finance a bailout.

I have not thourougly looked into USA's credit ratios v. other airlines...I'm sure someone else has that information.

Why? You're not going to like the answer but here it is...because Tempe is in the process of rebranding the airline

Yes we have been rebranded, America West and Parker have turned us into the worst airline in the country. US Airways ranks No. 1 in receiving complaints
By The Tribune-Review
Friday, October 3, 2008

US Airways received a higher rate of complaints from passengers in August than did any of the nearly 20 airlines tracked by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the agency said Thursday. The carrier received 120 passenger complaints, or 2.45 for every 100,000 boarded that month, which ranked US Airways last among the 19 carriers tracked and contrasted with an average score of 1.22. The airline ranked last in the July report as well, with a 2.16 ratio. But US Airways did better than the year earlier, when it posted a 4.42 ratio for August 2007, also last place.

yes, exactly!

I wasn't agreeing wtith you.

D.W.,

Then you, like the others will never be able to see beyond 'how did we rank?'

Why would they need to?

Metrics matter. End of story.

Sorry, I don't share your opinion every one but you is a moron.

<SNIP> Why? You're not going to like the answer but here it is...because Tempe is in the process of rebranding the airline and repositioning it to bring it forward (hopefully) into the far 21st Century (under a different merged name). I'm still not certain if they are going to be succesful in doing this...probably under the original timeline (timeline=my own understanding of events), but now things that I was told would not happen until 2010 are happening now, so I'm not sure if the people in the company can really make it happen without falling into their own nuerosis.

So when the plan of chasing after low-yield customers and providing no value for the others fails, it will be the employee's fault?

Nothing is ever Tempe’s fault. Just ask them.

 

[Hey.. Chill Out]

You guys need to get off of the loyalty crap. Employers EVERYWHERE no longer care about your loyalty, they only want your services, and care about your ability to get the job done. You are expendable, plain and simple.

US Air is not your family, nobody cares about you, nobody cares that the structure of the company is weak. Nobody cares about your contractual issues, you are still doing the companies work.

Think of this job, and future jobs not as a career, but only a temp job. It's the sad nature of the beast in today's workforce.

This payout is 100 dollars well deserved by the employees, and I will take it and be happy that I haven't been laid off or fired yet.

 

[REACC1]

I don't know Toothy maybe it's spending the last 25 years in sales and sales training but your argument doesn't ring true with me.

You sound like a lot of failing Sales Reps I've met over the year who proceed to tell me "The account has a lot of potential we can't push them" when I questioned their forcasts. Another favorite was "Well it's true I didn't exceed quota but I did better then last month"

The above is an examplel of fancy words for you haven't sold anything and you didn't exceed quota AGAIN!

transfer this to the DOT stats and you can throw figures and logic at me HOWEVER last place is just that LAST PLACE just like second place is really first loser.

It's like when they open the bids and out of ten your bid was third lowest which means that 7 others had higher prices. But did you get the business?

NOTHING you can say will change the facts that LAST is LAST is LAST
LAST

Wow, sure sounds like a raft deflating to me. "Pfup,pfup,pfup!

I have never experienced the above until now. I agree with the above poster. Truly, this is the current state of affairs.
The rest of you, are full of crap!

If you knew what i knew about the US economy , you'd drink that entire bottle of vodca in one night ...

:mf_boff:


Hey RR , until we get our full amount of pay , any little bit helps .... 100 dollars buys me gas for two weeks ..

Some of you sound bitter and unhappy with this extra money , like the others have suggested , if you don't want it , there are those of us out here who will happily take it .....

Your cup of management Kool-aid runneth over.......just lovely.

 

[Toothy Grin]

I'm very, very, very far from being a moron.

What I am is amazed that with all that is happening in the financial sectors GLOBALLY, that many on this board are STILL unable to grasp the bigger picture. Even the mannequins at FOX get it.

Do I support this management? Yes, but only because I believe the current model works in this economic environment as well as what will take place in early 2009, when the credit markets fall...along with the stock market, if it holds even that long.

I would NOT support management if they were moving towards implementation of service policies that harked back to the days of old. Those days are long, long, gone and I really hope you wake up and start acting upon this information in your work life and your home life.

100.00 or nothing at all?

How you place wether if be last or first won't matter at all if the airline doesn't have any cash <==== cash <==== cash <==== CASH!

toothy , it's down right SCARY how dense some of my co workers are ...... alot of the guys here in PHX understand what's going on , but it seems to be the east coast people who aren't getting it .... i mean it's all over the bloody news day in and day out , you pick up ANY copy of a bussiness publication and it's splashed all across the headliness .... but nope , alot of these folk are ----> :blink:

Moving forward , us airways ONLY hope for long term survial in my mind is full nationalization .... but we're kinda half way there ,what with the us flags on our planes , our level of community invlovment and the contracts we just signed to move the troops ...(also we move alot of mail as cargo )

Freedom my friend one of the greatest secrets of life is to have both patience and wisdom. Assets you seem to be lacking in your young life. Its not that we don't get it. Its the fact that we have the wisdom to know that this too shall pass and the patience to wait it out.

it shall pass , but not without much pain and suffering on all of us , and i for one don't intend to be suffering through this ..
