A Challenge To Us Corporate Elite

[bestservedcold]

I am fully prepared to be publicly drawn and quartered for this, but here goes....
If the "big guys, and gals" showed up to do it, so would I. If they promised round trip space pos. travel for me and my family, I'd bring them along! (and I'm on a furlough!)
If they promised a paid day off to any employee that came to work on their day off, it might improve attendance.
If they turn this into a party, the press would be all over it. Hawaiian shirts, leis for the pax, umbrella drinks, the corporate deluxe flinging bags, would be worth the visit! Rename the airport to Paradise, for a day.
Welcome to paradise!
At the very least it would give those that are planning on going for good, an opportunity to have one last opportunity to work with the fine men and women that we have known for years, and to say a proper goodbye. It may also provide a brief opportunity to go back to the good old days for just a moment, when working here was fun!
For those that are staying, it might provide a small shot in the arm for U's reputation as a premier passenger service company, which we once were. The publicity would be good for a change, and it would be free.
Just food for thought!

Great out-of-the-box thinking!

It will never happen at this company, because USAirways has a reactive mindset, not a proactive one. It would take leadership of the Kelleher, Neeleman, or Bethune kind. There have been very few men or women in CCY who have been worthy to lick the shadows of those airline leaders. The few that we've had have been shown the door, or left in disgust.

I vote that we bring bestservedcold out of furlough to become CEO of USAirways. It may be too late to recover, but its his/her type of thinking that is our only hope.

Now CCY WANTS THE EMPLOYEES TO WORK FOR FREE??

YOU"VE got to be kidding!

Cold,

Very innovative thoughts. Not a chance in hell that this bunch of lame duck managers would ever do something like this. Beg employees on their day(s) off to work for free? Why would they even consider making this proposal? BECAUSE US AIRWAYS IS TERRIBLY UNDERSTAFFED AND THEY KNOW IT!!! It takes enormous brass ones to even render the thought after round after round of slashing wages and benefits, and telling the employees that they are basically worthless. What would happen if Joe Employee injured his back while maneuvering baggage on his day off? Joe would have to use his own sick days for recuperation, then have it marked as an occurance, and possilbly be put on a level towards termination. Not to mention the cost and inconvenience of seeking medical help with the litany of slashed medical coverage. Unfreaking believable!!!!!! :down:

Very well stated! You took my thoughts and put them out there to show the world the absurdly that is U's management.

I don't know, but could it be that U management's mistake (and clearly it was one), was one of misplanning the transistion of PHL to a rolling hub in February?

Will many of these staffing problems be ameliorated by they new hub structure? I mean, guys, I'm sorry, but it's just a fact that U in bankruptcy with NO dip financing is flying really close to the sun, here. It's just a fact. It's surprising that U management has not communicated that clearly to the employees.

Of course, this theory could be totally wrong, but it's basically that the problem of planning was in transition, not as a long-term plan for PHL.

I know, I'm trying to make sense of.....

What they also know is that they will have many takers, aka "suckers," who will flock to PHL on their days off, for free, to "save" a company that no one in CCY cares about.

Just like switching to Sabre right before the holidays? Brilliant!
Even if they are getting the staffing levels right for the Feb startup of the rolling hub, what are they planning to do in Jan when all these other guys leave? Thats still 30 days of hell in PHL if there is no one to work until the new skd takes effect. All of these "big" changes should take place in June or Sept not in the middle of the holidays or Spring Break season. :down:
