Morale!

[AP Tech]

Don't be so hard on Jerry Glass as he is the only Usairways executive to do the job he was paid to do!!!!! If any of the executives deserves a bonus for performance he is the one!!!! He was brought on board to bust the unions and lower employee costs and can anyone argue the fact he did not do his job?

As for morale, it stinks!!!! Nobody cares anymore!!! One thing they can do is let those that are going to be furloughed go early, don't keep them till the 28th of March as posted in the IAM timetable. Not many wish to work in this enviroment any longer than they have too!!!

That is Crellin's job. The negativity on this board is unreal. Try to think out of the box for a change and give CCY a chance to improve morale. There is a new company program to improve morale.

never trust a guy whose name starts with a-n-a-l

Labor Relations is making an effort to improve morale and the naysayers are still complaining. Amazing! Jerry Glass should be thanked for taking action. Kudos to Jerry and his department.

Hey Mole,

Lower managment "sucks". Doesn't matter what senior managment parades around with their "lip service"...there is no movement on frontline supervisors to back off, relax the policies, and give the employees an oportunity to "transform".

They are terminating our group faster than lightening. Moving up the DCP (Dependibility disciplines) for one infraction. after 3 in 12 months, you're fired!

"Lip service" :down:

Okay you guys,

Beside firing Jerry, what would you do to repair the relationship between management and labor here?

Let hear some solutions instead of taking pot shots....

#1, change and move Senior mangement of the In-flight Dept. and put Rob Fuhr back where he belongs...in-flight. If that occurs, you are 75% there in changing morale for our group. The guy knows our contract, inside/out...was on the negotiating committee 2 out of 3 times for us, and he sits in crew scheduling and resloves our in-flight problems, which is not his area.

We can't get anyone in mangment in the inf-flight dept to consider any medigating circumstances when a f/a has a bump in the road. It's "one size fits all" with these nut cases in inflight to deal with. :angry:

#2, Relax some of the new discipline policies and give the employee a chance to change their work behavior before elevating them to Level 2 and 3.

#3, Hire a consultant to retrain supervisors and lower managment on how to engage employees in a postive manner.

The Inflight Service Department (which is what it is known to be named) is a department that "services" the employees.

Change, change, change behavior....from the top down, will bring about change in the "rank and file".

These are simple solutions that cost practically nothing.

There are lots of things that would help.

1. Ask the people who do the job if there is anyway it could be done better. Stop looking at paper model from a distance and saying it should work. BE HANDS ON.

There is this airline in Houston called Southwest and they do this with front line employees. When they started Baltimore to West Coast service, Herb thought about first class. Took it to the front line folks who told him what a problem it would be and he scrapped the idea.

2. Make mgmt at all levels accountable.

Gordon at Continential a few years ago supposedly had a meeting with managers and asked how they personally contributed to making CO work. If they could not show they made a difference, they were shown the door.

3. Do away with voice mail. (see item 2 )

Has anyone tried to reach anyone from Friday night to Monday morning when there was a problem.

4. Have managers do the job so they know how it is done. (see item 1)

5. Re-Visit the distribution channel. Why would anyone book a flight on line and then have to call reservations to fix a seat assignment or other problems. I am sure they like the hold time. (see item 1) Perhaps the reservations agents might have a few ideas to make it work better.

6. Respect your employees and remember respect is commanded and not demanded. Like that guy at Southwest named Herb does.

Koolaide being served at the Palace....that would work..

Just kidding...I'd like to add more but I'm off to my second job. You see my first employer, doesn't pay enough to make ends meet. Something about huge executive salaries, all those worthwhile VP's and directors...Blah, Blah

The beatings will continue until the morale improves.

That is your best quote yet I love it.

 

[robbedagain]

Not to put to fine a point on it but didn't each and every union vote to accept their fate? So how is that the fault of Mr. Glass???

He asked and your duly elected representation said YES then the members voted even though one was forced by a court to vote on the "last Best".

So explain how anyone "Stole" anything???

[post="247364"][/post]​

i personally voted against it as we have already been beatened before. can you say 21%paycut by the order of the ch11 court? it is nowonder that usair could change their name to concessions air and probably make a lot more money just by the name due to the employees givng up truck loads of money and beneis while mgmt continues with their mismanagement and failures but collect their high millions and bonusess

 

[robbedagain]

Lets not start this debate again. Does anyone on this board remember anything they posted more than 24 hours ago?

[post="247373"][/post]​

i cant remember because of working 40 hrs a week!

You should review and embrace the (RBO) concept. It is time for you to Forgive, Forget and Move On in assisting us with the transformation of Airways.

This entire topic was frivolous from start to finish except the words of "9lives+1" which obviously everyone is blinded to and so it goes, the Hawk versus the employees each pointing fingers while everyone drowns not realizing their lungs are filling up.
