Comments From Ga Congressman

This can be handled by stapeling the Delta employees to the bottom of USAirways' seniority lists and then lay them off.

Trying to invoke some fear...are we????

You've been taught well by U senior management...demand, intimidate and take what you want at all cost!
 
He has the right to take sides. And he is not off base on U buying into foreign made a/c. U has not done "right" by the employees, not even this existing management who takes their labor direction from Jerry G.



Wow, go figure...a pol defending his hometown airline. Yes, as a U employee, it riles me...but sure would have been nice to have had a little suppport in PA over the last few years. I know one Senator from PA that learned his lesson about slamming local labor! The DL pilots stood up to management in BK and have better contracts now than U does. However this works out, I would welcome their spirit on this property, and I don't mean that as a "dig."

Good luck to us all, and nice to hear from you PITbull!!

BTW where are all those RJ's that Delta bought for ASA and Comair built?

Fuselage is made in Ireland...at the shorts factory,
Wings are made in Texas...
Avionics are made by Collins (In America)

Final assembly is done in Canada.
 
are you defending the delta people ?

Yup. With the same conviction I had for U labor while in bankruptcy. Its a very frightening process for employees, and I feel for the employees of DL whose fate, while in BK, is always "unknown".

You should be able to draw on history, my friend, and be empathetic to the vulnerability.

pitt , you are right and i know that doh is the way to go but these guys hate us so much it's incredible. we spent around 7 million dollars trying to get delta to join afa and they simply did not want it. sh why should we be sympathetic to them. you know very well if this was the other way around they would totally staple us to the bottom. i don't know but i have mixed feelings on all this . in the begining .i have stated doh for all. but after having encounters on the line with delta employees who all they do is bash usairways and talk so much crap they do not know about. it just has me mixed on all it. maybe i should not let my emotions get in the way. but it's tough. the other day i was on the employee bus and there were 2 delta f/a's sitting right in front of me. they saw my id and saw i worked for airways. they proceeded to talk in spanish not knowing that i speak spanish myself. one said "oh man i forgot my pin. i wish i had it so i could put it on in front of this usair guy" then they proceeded to bash usairways and the employees right in front of me. i was going to say something but pretended i was reading the news paer instead. i mean they were saying some preety nasty things about our company. one even said "look at his uniform . they is no way we would wear that peice of crap" that's down right rude. and i know it's not all the delta employees but mostly all i have encountered . it has been with that kind of animosity.
 
Didn't All American Delta Airlines have some of their res/call centers in India? Where was the moron from Ga. then? :shock:
 
The DL employees on the bus who wished they were wearing their pins, shows their pride; just like you do for U. Nothing negative about having affinity, and loyalty to your company. Currently, and naturally, they should feel no allegiance to USAirways. None.

The U uniforms are old and "outdated". U has been spending the past year looking into new uniforms. If you were a DL employee, you'd be saying the same thing, no less.

USAirways f/as have no say in how seniority should be implemented with a merger. Its governed by the AFA Constitution and Bylaws, whether you or anyone likes that, hates that, or thinks DL doesn't deserve it...its DOH.

And for point of fact, AFA spent $5 million between 1995- 2001 trying to unionize DL f/as. They were the highest paid f/as with the best International premium pay in the industry...even to this present day, they are paid higher than U f/as, without a union.

I wouldn't feel to unionize either.

Yeah, that's one way to prevent animosity between employee groups. It amazes me how many of us wish ill-will towards each other. I, for one, refuse to take this personally. It's business. I've been with DL for 13 years. I worked for HP prior to that. I have nothing against US, I'd just rather not go through a messy merger.
And, some good points were brought up. If HP and US are both AFA, what's the hold up with integration? Give everyone DOH and be done with it. I just don't get it.
 
wow for someone who worked for usairways you sure sound anti-usairways. so you mean to tell me that those dleta employees on the bus had every right to be rude towards me? i don't thinks so. staple all of them a-holes to the bottom for all i care. with that reply i got from you . you just made my thinking a little bit easier. i know it's not gonna happen but whatever.
