Morale!

[SpinDoc]

The only way this managment thinks (like you) is to cut costs enough to sustain the business...and when we come to work for free, than what excuse will you be able to use.

If the company can't address the non-labor costs because they say they have cut every which way on non-labor...WE WILL NOT MAKE IT.

Get use to it, and get ready to look for work.

Thanks for the heads up. Anyone who works for
US Airways and is NOT looking for an alternative
is destined to keep their current income for at
least the next 2 years. No raises unless you
move up and into another position, and that
all depends on whether there is a higher position
posted that your qualifications fit. I understand the
game and have accepted it for now. But, when
I find a better opportunity outside of the
company, I will leave.

In case you didn't know, the union represented
employees also have the option of finding something
else that pays them what they believe they're worth.
US Airways isn't the end of the line. Everyone is
free to leave, or make do with what is currently
available. No one is forcing anyone to stay, and
that includes senior managers. I fully expect the
likes of Jerry Glass, Bruce Lakefield, and Al
Kremlin to walk away upon US emergence from
the current BK. They will all be encouraged to do
so, or be replaced by a new regime brought in by
America West.

We need Gordon!

Spin,

Well, on your post above, I agree.

Just in two months (Dec. and Jan) we've had over 250 f/as just quit, retire and get terminated.

Once the FVLR is made public, you will see f/as leave by the thousands on this property including the ERI incentive.

Ya know, it's been said here before and it's worth repeating....

Instead of saying "You employees need to forget the past" there is such a thing as leading by example. For instance:

CAL Board Cuts Compensation

I'll be the first to admit that the $$ saved by this won't put much of a dent in the "savings" that CAL is seeking (it's probably "only a pimple"), but it sure might help the perspective of the employees.

Good point Jim, I do not think it helps when you have a CEO claim he can not afford a pay cut because he needs to maintain TWO residences. When so many fellow employees can not afford to maintain one.

Gee another fine example of leadership, Bruce needs to take some lessons!

Continental Airlines Adjusts Bonus Program So Management Cannot Benefit From Wage Cuts; Continental Officers Give Back Their Restricted Stock Units for 2005

Continental today announced adjustments to management's annual incentive program and that officers will forego their restricted stock units (RSUs) for 2005, in order to avoid the appearance that management could benefit from the $500 million reduction in pay and benefits.
