Good luck, they never tell us a thing....I know in INT that they replaced two supv positions that had been vacated.....wouldnt it be nice to not live in constant fear of your employers backroom dealings?

A quote from the Regional Director of the Pittsburgh Reservations centers:
8-3-04 **ANNOUNCEMENT FROM (JM) ****
"MY CAREER WITH (US) STARTED ON OCT 15 1979. NEARLY 25 YEARS AGO AND MOST OF IT HAS BEEN GLORIOUS. IT IS EASY TO REFLECT ON THAT NOW AS I WAS RECENTLY OFFERED A POSITION WITH A CONSULTING FIRM. THE OFFER SEEMED TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT IT WAS TRUE AND I HAVE ACCEPTED THE POSITION. MY LAST DAY AT (US) WILL BE SEP 3 AND I WILL BEGIN MY NEW CAREER ON SEP 7. IT IS BITTERSWEET FOR ME...I AM EXCITED TO FACE NEW CHALLENGES BUT SADDENED TO GIVE UP THE FIGHT TO PRESERVE OUR AIRLINE. I WANT TO THANK EACH OF YOU FOR THE TERRIFIC JOB YOU HAVE DONE THRU THE BEST AND WORST TIMES. I WILL TAKE WITH ME GREAT MEMORIES OF THE MANY EMPLOYEES IN PIT RES. THE DECISION TO LEAVE WAS AGONIZING BECAUSE I WONT BE HERE DURING THE TRANSITION TO THE NEW (US). I AM CONFIDENT THAT OUR COMPANY WILL SUCCEED. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE DEDICATED EMPLOYEES WHO WHEN FACED WITH MANY DIFFICULT DECISIONS HAVE ALWAYS GOTTEN IT DONE. PLEASE STOP AND SAY GOODBYE. (JM)"

Oh Pleeeeeeessssssse....save the crocodile tears for somebody who thinks you're serious.... 
This breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes. This is why I have lost all hope and faith in this company. I wish this person the very best and applaud him/her for the dedication, years, triumphs and downfalls this person went through.
This is just a very fine example of the many, thousands who have given so many years of loyal service. Hoping, praying, working against all odds, that this company can and would be a viable Airline.
I feel, that many on these boards, who are so compassionately giving and sharing their feelings, showing their hearts and souls, sit at their keyboards like I am doing right this minute and have tears of sorrow flowing down their cheeks. I don't think I am alone.
I have this to say: SENIOR MANAGEMENT....LAKEFIELD....ALL YOU TWO BIT LITTLE HEATHENS.....KISS MY LITTLE BUTT. :down: :down:

Reading this departure note, and even now, 2 years later, I have a difficult time dredging up sympathy or sympatico brethren feeling for the regional director of any res center. WHY? Because they have made, and from what I have heard, still make a dedicated res agents life miserable over the years by not listening to and addressing their concerns and suggestions, and for aiding in running a sweat shop unfit even for a dog. So busy with stats-a-mania, they never ever took our service and procedural concerns to heart or to upper management or looked out for our backs because they were too enthralled with looking out for their own.
Just another cog in the USAIR wheel of injustice. So so so glad I am out, but thanks for the 'taxable' free flights.

Hi West Coast Guy,
Are you saying that perhaps someone with 25 years would bail faster than a 1 man sailor on an air raft with a hole in it if he thought the ship was sinking?
And are you saying that it is somewhat coincidental that his termination date coincides with the companies labor negotiation deadlines?
Are you saying that this person may not be sincere about preserving the airline since perhaps no one ever saw him do anything to try to save it?
And are you implying that his agonizing decision to leave during the spectacular transition (for which thousands are waiting to hear anything about other than "Ben Dover") is not sincere?
And are you not confident with this leader that the company will succeed? Or do you believe that because of the dedicated frontline employees that bring in the money so that directors and managers and vps and ceos can live the way they do is wrong?
And don't you believe that everyone should stop by and say goodbye to someone that could never say hello when passed in the hallway?
I'm shocked.

The day US lost Bill Schmeder with the closing of Indy was truly a sad day. I personally witnessed this fine gentleman take the agent's side many many times. He fought hard for his agents and from what I know not one person would have said things bad about him. I hear he's doing fine now and wish him only the best. I know many of you in Pit miss him as did the agents in Reno and Indy.

I work in PIT Res and what I say is the writing is on the wall
I ended my career with US with the closing of Indy Res. Bill was a great guy to work for. He did always fight for the employee and looked for loopholes in company policies all the time, as long as it was for the best. You could stop in and see him anytime and always said hi in the hall. He was honest as they come too. He told us shortly after the announcement that they were closing SAN res that Indy and Dayton were next and probably no way around it. He never sugar coated anything, but wasn't mean either. I don't know what it was about IND Res, but it was the most pleasant non-political place within US I had ever been.. I miss it. I'm glad though that I am out now.... especially with the paycuts. There is life after US and sometimes it's much better - for instance I already make more at my job than I would have made topping out at US, and I've been here for only 2 years.drifterreno said:
Best of luck to all.... but I agree with those who say that Lakefield is just going through the motions and plans on bankruptcy and outsourcing everything.
