I'm glad to be gone. Never have to worry if that place will survive or not, because now I just don't care.
Already have calls and possibilities so I'll have a soft landing sometime soon! Time to rest for awhile!

Yes, I was a "champion" of employees making concessions and sacrificing to ensure the company would survive. And, well, I got the utlimate sacrifice. I have nothing to complain about. I'll just look in from time to time and enjoy not being part of it. Its time to do something thats stable and has a bright future!700UW said:SalesguyCCY,
Sorry that you were laid off, but were you not a champion of having the employees take concessions and sacrifice?

It was more a of bloodbath than people were led to believe. I personally was shocked given outstanding reviews, key roles in MIDDLE management and friendly with a bunch of VPs.
Yes, they gave a year of flight benefits and I got an OKAY severance. But you know what? I'm not dejected at all EXCEPT I'd rather leave on my own not told to. That aside, I was a layer management they probably did not need in tough times even given my deep knowledge of my area, experience, analytical skills, negotitating talents, industry contacts and so on. The people making 20K or more less than me will figure it out..the work just won't be as good. I also lost staff too.

airbiiguy said:Yea Im sure you give it your all, I've watched for hours at a time how all you mainline people work. Frankly, I used to laugh my *** off with all my coworkers when we would sit and watch you rampers and gate agents work. Come to an express station and watch us work, we will run circles around you. All your unproductive attitudes are hurting the company. "thats not my job" is the one you hear the most. At express you dont hear that , cuz we did every job, for 1/3 the pay, mind you!!! Wake up from your dreamworld 700. It's going to be over soon! Theres a lot of young people who would love to do your job for 1/3 the amount that you are making , same goes for the pilots. Lots of young gusy who make 20k flyign a jet would love to make 58k flyign the same thing!!

Oh please. Cry us a river.700UW said:Once again you have no idea of what you are talking about. I am not a ramper.
Sounds like you have mainline envy. And come to CLT and I will show you how hard every classification works.
Why don't you unload a full 757 from the west coast in 100 degree weather and then have to load it for a return trip. Bet you could not even last 5 minutes.
Or get in a Tyvek Suit in 100 degree weather and dump some lavs.
Or clean and security check a A330 in 55 minutes that has just come in from FRA and going back to FRA.
Or have to change an engine outside in the freezing rain.
Like I said, sounds like you have mainline envy.
Oh wait a minute, you said you were on furlogh, so I guess you have not been around to see how people work. Funny according to the DOL and OSHA, airline employees (ground workers) have the second highest rate of Occupational Injuries in the USA.
Oh can they get hurt if they are doing nothing as you say?
