Just thought I'd pass along an opportunity for US Airways folks who haven't gotten the word. Beware...I think DP and VPs will be dressed up as "Devo" and perform a few songs for those who can attend. The singing won't be very good but it will be entertaining if their past performance is reproduced.
 
My perspective is entirely different than the West. I prefer the CEO to look and act like a lady or gentlemen. I am not the least bit impressed with a grown man who is tasked with turning around a corporation behaving like the class clown. Once this corporation is making money, then and only then should the CEO act ike a frat boy. Don't forget, we had a CEO who enjoyed costumes and look how succesful we were.

We are a northeast carrier and our bread and butter is transporting business travelers. This casual approach is going too far. We can have fun without slithering into the local trailer park.

Fire away!
 
mlt,

Lighten up! You'll live longer! We also had years of CEO's in the solid banker's blue who couldn't help us find a profit. Maybe it's time for a little outside the box thinking.

Having fun and being professional aren't mutually exclusive. :shock:

A few years go DP and his team were the Village People...pretty funny stuff. If can find a picture of that i'll post it.
 
Personally, I think the CEO dressing up is just fine.

But what I don't get is how people can think Parker dressing up is good, but Siegel dressing up was bad. It's amazing.

Happy halloween Mlt have fun with it. B)
 
Ok, I think this is a great idea. I'm USeast and yes we do fly alot of suits around, but even those guys enjoy having a little fun. If you create a happy work group you will create a happier customer. One of the most enjoyable things about this job is having fun with the (airline) family. Employees will feel less resentful of working the holidays if they are having a good time. I say get dressed up and have fun! :up:
