After the outcome of election 2004 it seems people put priority on their hearts and not on their brains.

Darwin said it best that its those not willing to change that get gobbled up by the shark.

People should think of long term consequences and not the "don't give the pricks at Crystal City " the satisfaction of getting what they want.
Actually no one knows if all these cost cuts will save the airline but what it will do is that it will give the sense of hope to he investment community which will translate to confidence from our passengers that may make things better.
No cost cutting solution the investment community lose faith and loans are called in and the company get liquidated.

How does the above two statements relates to Usairways employees :
I have my opinion but its all relative to how true to yourself you really are.

We decide our future and whatever the outcome we have only ourselves to blame because we are the ones that make the choices.

And I choose not to make those in CCY wealthy beyond any of our dreams, at the expense of my poverty wages.

 

[madders]

the only way to stop those in CCY from getting any more wealthy is to keep them employed at Usairways.
Most people in management will get another job faster than anyone of us and they may make more than what Usairways are paying them now..

Lets do a where are they now search for all the senior level management who have left Usairways from Gangwell Rakeesh and Wolfee to Seigel ...and see if they better off now than when they were at U.

Personally I believe Darwin was full of crap, so it follows my thinking is: let the place sink into the mire "THEY" pointed it by treating people like dogs.

Pavlov's dog does not work at US Airways.

Darwin said no such thing. Darwin's theme of the survival of the fittest is based upon the premise that those species which are not genetically endowed to meet environmental challenge are doomed to extinction. If you are trying to extend a biological/ecological treatise into the business world, then it would seem that US Airways is doomed regardless of what changes the employees do or do not accept.

Using the analogy of the animal, US Airways has restricted its home range to an area which contains more competitors for the same food sources (passengers) than the sources will support. In nature, such a situation results in a thinning of the herd or the extinction of the weaker members. The only other options are to A. increase the food supply (which Southwest does by offering lower fares--not an option available to UAIR at the financial moment)
B. decrease the demands on that food supply (fewer seats chasing the same number of butts)--also not an option available to UAIR, or
C. move to a home range where there is less competition for food. (I don't know about you, but I've never thought of South Florida and the Caribbean as being free from airline competition.)

As was pointed out in another thread, simply reducing the number of seats available will not mean that the remaining seats will command a higher fare. The demand that is there today is price driven. People fly because they can afford it. With gasoline over $2/gal in some parts of the country and air fares at an all-time low, it may be cheaper to fly to Grandma's for Thanksgiving than to drive. If you raise the prices, profits will not necessarily go up. It is more likely that demand will drop.

Jimmy man thats what Darwin said "gentically endowed to meet environmental challenges" means those who do not adapt to the changes of their surroundings my friend. So unless we adapt to the changes around us and Change then we are doomed.....

whether Usairways make it or not after cost cutting who knows but what we do know is without cost cutting Usairways will go away much faster

But, Darwin did not mean adaptable on the spot. He was talking about adapting to change over time and generations--climatological, environmental, geographic changes which are slow, but permanent changes which engender genetic change in the organism. He didn't mean the organism adapting to incidental or temporary environmental change. There is no Darwinian adaptation to the out of season hurricane.

 

[madders]

who says low airfare travel is tempoary it could be the wave of the future..anyway I am not debating Darwin ...and what he really meant especially since he is not here to argue or debate how his theory could relate to business or other areas outside of nature....

So I am not taking the literal approach i am just taking an inference on how it apply to business and how it could be applied to the subject at hand ...that is the business sense more to the point the arline industry and how it relates to usairways.
