Inflight Focus Groups Update

[dexter]

Her husband may be liked by the sandcastle, but from where I am from he is not well liked by the employee group. Another stuffed shirt with a lousy attitude....spends alot of time on the golf course and thinks he knows it all!

I didn't think her husband was a USAirways employee. I thought someone said he was a cop? I'm confused. But then again, that's easy.

They came as Cher, Madonna, and a copier salesman from NJ.

What????

 

[IMisstheAladdinTrays]

Tell me that in two years when her true colors start to shine through...

Hell, just tell me what she has done the past two and a half years!?!?!

Let me get this - two airlines merged with different procedures - the carts were standardized and the flight attendants complained about it - so the company is trying to fix it. I don't know what those folks in Tempe are thinking trying to fix it. I'm sure there is not another airline in the world that has tried to fix its in flight service and carts. They can never win. If the carts are so bad today just stop servicing customers.

Yes, it's true. 3 years later, we are still having focus groups trying to decide where to put the ice. You see, it is so hot in Tempe, that each time they buy a bag of ice to test the new procedure, it melts before they can get it into the cart. Tragic.

Don't rush us!! Slow and steady wins the race.

No, he definitely works for US Airways. Not sure of his title, but he is a least a director, of what I'm not sure. Something to do with ground operations.

Geez, I was hired after only one interview.

Me too. I had one thirty minute interview and I did observation rides for four years. And they're not called check-rides or ghost-rides, people. Those are always done by supervisors.

Well, in my case I should probably add that there was a need to fill the “straight maleâ€￾ demographic.

Did that cattle call at a CLE hotel in 1988 count as an interview? Could’ve been the first for me.

Ummm, my interview was with the base manager, one-on-one. It was like getting a whole other job. I only did it back then so I could get paid 5 hours a day for sitting on a couple of flights. Some people took it really seriously, as a stepping stone to management. One of my classmates became international base manager in PHL and that was her goal from the very start with joining 'Special Projects' .

Whoops!

I’m only talking about the initial hire USAir interview.

Ew, does she have a weather related name? She was an idiot, I wanted to kick her.

OMG, I was just thinking the same thing. And her hair was the same color as the weather she was named after? Man, that was some poof!!
