Who really cares about these polls? Do they really think NW is a better airline? What a piece of garbage this is!! Just keep your heads held high and eventually they will see the truth. And if they dont, who really cares!!!

No suprise on this one!

I realize they are talking about the old U, but what about the retention bonus's the judge ok'd to keep "talent" from jumping ship? No wonder he is a judge as I doubt he could make it in the real world! Looking at the stats I see they got a 10 for managment

Hopefully DP will take at look at the poll to see just what he is dealing with.....

Things HAVE to turn around. I mean, really, when your dead last there is nowhere to go but up.

"Financial soundness 8"

Consider the quality of the poll if after 2 rounds of bankruptcy and US still scores an 8 out of 10!?!


Great point eyeinthesky, nowhere to go but up!!!

 

[HPearlyretiree]

They should have ditched both names and come up with something warm and fuzzy.

"I wuv you Airlines!"

"Hello Kitty International"

"Warm and Fuzzy Airlines"

"Hooters Air" oh, I forgot, someone already took that.

Was this poll done while CCY was in charge or after the Sand Castle took over? Either way, even if it was after, the name damage was already done.

Just remember a judge is a politician and a lawyer you can't get much more detestable than that! :down:

Hooray!

Executive bonuses for the house. The workers are buying.

 

[DR.EVIL]

And with the choices the new guys are making we will stay right at the top. The goal is to degrade our employees more and more every day. Us/west motto "it will be this way for a little bit longer, and then get worse." Keep up the good work.

:blink: i dont think its the QUALITY of the airline, its the way the airline treats it's employees. At US EAst they treat the employees horribly. Many, MANY years ago it was a wonderful company to work for, its unfortunate that now it sucks to work for US ( east).

And the response is it could be worse.

I am still trying to figure out how.

Everything is ok.. the stock is up right. These polls are for dummies, equity analysts are never wrong.
