Why does this guy keep getting away with his talk?I mean i thought its a priv to post on here not a right? Frankly its aggrivating to try and read great post only to see a few on here spew their hatred and cursing on here. Its hard enough to read thru the post u wanna read but every other post of these guys have been deleted or their hate mail.

Cav:
Do you think the reason the Company is playing hard ball with the IAM is that the union will not discuss the "Going Forward Plan"? Maybe that's why they would not agree to the cost neutral baggage maintenance program. Moreover, there is reason to believe there will be more hardball on the company's part and much more pain for the mechanics until the IAM meets with the company to discuss the "Going Forward Plan".
If the IAM does not negotiate, the Company will incrementally eliminate most of the maintenance positions during the next couple of years. It's really up to our mechanics, who are great people and professionals, on whether or not they want to work at US Airways in the new environment or move on to something else.
Respectfully,
USA320Pilot

So, US will pay less in headcount and more in fees.

USA320Pilot,
I think the Company will incrementally eliminate most of the maintenance positions during the next couple of years. They will probably do this by getting ALPA to give away most of the aircraft.Then the mechs can go work at MESA with all of the ex mainline pilots.

Because the IAM is still holding their position that the concession stand is closed the company is willing to spend more money to perform a particular job rather than let someone who's done it for years to keep doing it? What sense does that make?
If the IAM does concede to concessions theirs going to be more job and benefit loss anyway.
Please dont come back and tell me that the cuts will be more severe. Its a proven fact the employee concessions have never saved a company from closing its doors.

Captain:
Should I go and tell all my mechanic buddies how wrong they all are and to please lets be reasonable here and do whatever Dave insists?
Do you really believe that I can make a difference?
Dave is like the spouse who cheated on his wife not once but twice, and now, not even asking for forgiveness, but insisting that he be forgiven, or else he will put a whipping on you like you can't even believe.
This is exactly what you are saying to me Captain, no different. So I suggest you and NOT me go make your rounds in the hangers on all shifts and explain where why and how all the mechanics are dead wrong, explain to them clearly why they all must submit to Dave’s whims. Make sure you wear a Kevlar vest though; I don't want to be responsible for any misunderstandings or anything like that.

Except that US is running out of free cash to screw around with. I'll tell you this: had I been sitting across the table from these clowns at this point, it would be shutting down--and I advocated for concessions in Chapter 11.PineyBob said:
FWIW, the county/state at PA are generally with the mechs on this: US is not going to get any more freebies. I still want to see Dave and Dave hub another 300/400 flights thru an operationally constrained airport whose yields are about to drop into the toilet.

Pit I have no prob hearing the truth as long as its not filled with filth, crap and hatred. Your in complete denial my friend if you or any other person on here says it can all be done without employees help . If anything, this management is doing what no other had the guts to do . This is like politics.No body will talk social security because they are scared to touch , knowing it has to be dealt with one day . So what do they do , pass it on to a later date. Just like this airline. The past management got us here. Dave S is doing what shouldve been done along time go. I know i dont sound Like a "brother" in fact i dont get into all that stuff. Im an American with a great job and still being paid a good salary. In fact we all are!!!!!!!!! Have their been major sacrifices ? YOU BET and ive been one of them to have paid the price a few times over just like you and others. I have every right to have my opinion just as you and cav and others. Its like theres 2 sides here. You see one thing thru one glass, i see thru another , and so on. The union is busted ! I have no doubt that most airline execs saw an opportunity and took it after 9/11! It will take time to rebuild, but this isnt the time to play with yours, mine and others jobs. There are still thousands of hard working people who obviously love their jobs.They make enough money to support their famlies , or they would have left by now. No body,Nobody likes this and we are all "not happy" to say the least. This isnt the time to fight> There will be another day. A good fighter knows when to fight ! Emotion destroyed many. Emotion destroyed hitler, he no longer thought clearly. His hatred got the best of him. At any rate, I can handle the truth and have since the unforunate destruction of piedmont airlines. I can handle change, fear, and failure. Simply , thats about all we have had here at this airline, but im still here.!PITbull said:

Cav you may be so correct. The old atage of when they are doing something right everyone hates them, may come into play. I have never met the man , hoevever it seems to me that he is doing a great job for what he was hired for and thats all he should care, pleasing his BOSS!cavalier said:
