In Res Has A Date Been Set To Announce...

[us0004us]

Just like it is too expensive to relocate CCY to a lower cost city it would be too expensive to relocate or rehire ( when they don't move and take their severance) all the management employees at RIDC. While res agents are, according to the company, completely replaceable do you really think they would force the hundreds of employees at RIDC to move to NC? Doubtful, maybe a department or two, but the whole place? Remember, RIDC employees get paid moves, living expenses ... would be stupid to move that place out of there. Maybe move them into less expensive digs, but again, there would be costs involved in that as well.

Sure, they moved the simulators but the pilots can fly anywhere to use them. How many employees moved to CLT with the simulators? Surely Nc isn't going to pick up the tab to move all those people at RIDC there nor would they go. Then the company is looking at trying to replace all the qualified and highly experienced management . Remember they wouldnt force a huge paycut on them for fear of losing them after all. Aren't there over 100 crew schedulers, how many training and procedures people are out there? It would be interesting to know how many employees are at RIDC. But moving some simulators would be alot less than moving people, households, temporary living expenses, paid moves.. all those things that management gets and the agents do not.

Isn't it interesting...I also worked in Pit CRO after transferring in due to my office closing, and I had a completely different opinion of the people and place...I have never met a more dedicated, hard-working group...and I have worked ramp, ops, gate, ATO, res...And if there were spaghetti dinners while on the phone, I must have missed them and I worked evenings...I did see someone with a coffee and a Krispy-Creme once..but very discreet, as who would want to share that? And as for the $20/hr while eating spaghetti and talking to passengers....Sorry, I never saw it...All I saw were a bunch of overworked, underappreciated people who truly enjoyed helping people, finding the best solution for customers needs, and truly caring about the company and each other...Sorry you missed the same people I came to know....

Oh Yes, I remember it well. I from MCORO where a piece of hard candy was then acceptable, and a drink, but no food. Absolutely no food. Not a package of crackers from the machine. Nothing (unless you hid it.) Now, I am not saying Everybody routinely ate plates of spaghetti while on the phones; many times it was Chinese food too. The point I'm trying to make here is that in general Pittsburgh Agents did what they wanted to do and mgrs and supervisors tended to "look the other way." And oh yes, I forgot to mention the cell phone rule, the one that nobody paid any attention to either. They went off constantly on the sales floor, even though their use was forbidden. In Orlando.... you'd have been in big trouble. After working in San Diego Res and then Orlando Res, working in Pittsburgh Res was like being on vacation, at least from my personal observations. Sorry Pittsburgh Res.. nice group of people you definitely are, but you have no idea how good you've had it compared to the other Centers, the ones with all the great productivity (like Orlando), the ones they closed down, the ones with all the hard-working, dedicated people; so many lives were really ruined... sorry to be rambling but why in the Heck didn't they consolidate all those Res Centers at the time of the PSA/Piedmont mergers instead of just "run them all" so as not to upset the apple cart? So many bad, bad business decisions. At least at that time, people could have made some decisions about their lives, where they wanted to go, what they wanted to do, not just expect that nothing would ever change.... There.. I'll shut up... Thanks for listening! (but I'm not bitter.)

Sounds like they ought to look at the supervisor's positions and how much they are getting paid, how many there are, and what they are doing. I work in Pit res and basically there are a couple of hard working supervisors who aren't afraid to address the issues and deal with the problems, the rest seem to spend the day walking around, talking to each other, and talking on the phone.
