[etops1]

i hope i spelled his name right.

 

[flyguy121]

Last I understood he was suspended pending investigation and moved to "final warning". I don't think he was terminated.

Who is John Mccorkle

 

[PITbull]

No. He was not.

 

[StatioRat]

I’m not sure if he has been fired or not.

However, I must say I’ve never talked to him personally, put reading his thoughts of US Airways and the people within the company makes me wonder if he really cares or if he is only out to put everyone down that’s trying to make good for the company. I’ve always thought of him as a Monday morning quarterback.

john is a very nice guy. and he speaks only the truth !!!! so if you have never met him keep your comments to your self . he cares very much about what is going on with the company. and who is doing good ? i might ask. give me a break and don't get me started. in the beginning i was one of those who lookied at our managenent with a positive eye. not any more. its crazy that they think that they will get more concessions from any one. in fact i think that they know that and that they want to go into bk so that they can edited everyone . it will be so much easier for them to get what they want in bk and they know it. so one way or another we are SCREWED. no matter . i am gone next month pursuing bigger and better things. i have been at airways for 8 yrs as a f/a. i love the people i am gonna miss them terribly. its sad what has become of this company what management not the employees is doing. i understand that the economy is bad and that changes need to be made. but comiong after the employees as a scape goat all the time gets really old.
start moving things around operationaly like headquarters. move that place down to clt or bhm . i don't know . move all the simulators in pit to clt. we have a state of the art trainig center in clt that is under utilized. get the ball rolling and stop waisting time. start firing some of those middle management typs that don't do edited like john kolesar in phl !!. if you want to reorganize the airline then start from the damn top . yeah we got a new ceo and a new cfo but what about a new labor relations guy who knows how to dela with unions repectfully and not a hard ass who wants to break them all the time!!!. i am fed up :angry: yeah so we are sponsoring the eagles big f'n deal . we should have doen that al ong time ago . we shold be sponsoring all the sports teames in the hub we are in. we should be adverising in all markets we serve. not just phl. we are big in the carribean start adverising in spanish since we fly to so many latin american dest. don't adveritse just that we have low prices. advertise that we have spacious a/b aircraft . that we show movies onboard , that we have f/c .envoy class and that we fly to europe and that we want to be your airline .and put that flag up on those billboards to g-dammit!! think out of the box and stop doing things just because other people are doing it!!! lets be one step ahead of the game for once. put a billlboard up that we have joined the staralliance . the company advertises al this stuff internally but not to the public. it amazes me . ima fed up usairways get your edited together or close the door already and stop waisting the employees times. :angry:

WOW.......I think you just pretty much summed it up!

 

[Light Years]

I've flown with him (he was, of course the B on a 757). Nive enough guy, but his newsletters became so increasingly negative against the company, the union, and even individuals that I stopped reading them. Last I heard he was on Vol. futrlough. Is his warning to do with the newsletter?

 

[SalesGuyCCY]

So, who is he??? Anyone!?!?

 

[ITRADE]

So, who is he??? Anyone!?!?

John McCorkle is John McCorkle - a flight attendant.

IIRC, he's based in CLT.

Got his pee-pee rapped recently for posting nasty things about Neil Cohen.

Ask the folks down on the Second floor. They'll fill you in.

 

[openview]

oh boy! not so bright on his part...

Was Mr Cohen an employee of Usairways at the time the comments were made?

 

[Smartest Loser]

Three days ago, I sent out an email announcing that Neil Cohen had resigned as Chief Financial Officer of US Airways. In that email, I wrote of a comment that was made to me by a pilot in the Philadelphia crew room a couple of months ago when he stated "Mr. Cohen is probably the first Jewish CFO who doesn't know what he's earning." This comment was made because the pilot obviously felt that Mr. Cohen was being - what's the word on Capitol Hill, disingenuous? - when Mr. Cohen stated during the company's bankruptcy proceedings that didn't know what his compensation package was worth. For the record, I personally feel Mr. Cohen was being disingenuous as well. What CFO is actually stupid enough to not know what he/she is earning[/color]

I do not see any malice in his personal statement...

As I understand it, Mr Cohen was no longer with UAIR when the newletter was sent.

It should be noted that John did not say that the comment was his own opinion, he was merely passing along what someone else had said. Even if the joke was, in the opinion of some, in poor taste.

Also, John does not use a US Airways computer or resource to send his newsletter (which it sent only to those who have requested it).

I am not a lawyer and don't even play one on TV, but I think the company would have had a hard time making a termination stick.
