More service from CLT and PHL

[USA320Pilot]

Doug Parker had nothing to do with that, he wasnt in control and the companies were two separate companies till after US exited bankruptcy.

The merger was driven by Lakefield and Seabury.

Nobody said he did. John Luth did the majority of financial planning; however, Parker was aware of what transpired. The point of my post is that US Airways' LGA Express operation is larger than what can be accommodated with the new DCA slots. These Fee For Service ASMs must be flown by contract, which is why they will be flown to-from PHL & CLT following the execution of Slot Transaction Phase 1 and Phase 2

Speaking of new routes and aircraft flown, today About US said, "US Airways currently operates more than 240 Airbus aircraft and has orders in place for 58 additional A320 Family aircraft, 8 A330 aircraft and 22 A350 aircraft to replace our older aircraft."

This is a total of 88 new Airbus aircraft on firm order (22 A350s, 8 A330s, and 58 A321s/A320s).

Yes, but over something like 8-10 years. Those 88 new planes aren't enough to replace lease expiration's so leases will have to be extended (if possible) on quite a few current mainline aircraft. Just through 2015 there are 43 more leases expiring than new planes being delivered.

I would rather be sitting on a crj than a 737 squished between two fat slobs who haven't showered in a week. No I'm not talking about the dh'ing f/a's.

Why don't you just share your Febreze.

This post was totally uncalled for. Do you grace a different magazine cover every other week?

Ok, it may have been a little uncalled for. But put political correctness aside.
We have crap customer service. Our f/a's have been around since before the vietnam war. Some longer.
It's time that we get fresh employees that want to be here and aren't burnt out. This isn't a job for a 50 something lady.
It isn't a job so you can go from city to city hooking up. If we want long term success then we need to get rid of
some old baggage and hire friendly educated attractive people who like the job and want to do the job. Both male and female.

Alright now we can all go back to being politically correct and losing money.

You really want everyone at this airline to step aside don't you?

Now your picking on the 737 the same mainline aircraft you want to fly so you can stop building those RJ hours

No excuse me. First of all we're not losing money. Second, it's not about political correctness it's about facts. Are you a flight attendant? I suspect you aren't because if so you'd know that 1...we've hired new flight attendants in the last year both east and west. 2...That there are flight attendants here 50 and over and under who want to be here and who aren't burnt out and who are "educated and friendly." Given the poison you've penned in this post it doesn't surprise me if friendliness rarely visits you as there is nothing friendly about your post. I don't know who you are or what area of the company you work in, and frankly I don't care. But you shouldn't be so quick to come on here slamming work groups that you obviously know nothing about.

I doubt if you are 25 and drop down gorgeous yourself, but if you are the ugliness that you project in your rant speaks volumes about who you are inside and out. There's political correctness, and there's just being a plain jerk. You're not being politically correct.

Even by the standards of this forum, that post is very low indeed. As well as cruel and immature.

Are you advocating age discrimination? I think that has been illegal for some time now.

I guess the truth hurts. Listen i have been on many trans atlantic flights, and more times than not the f/a's were rude to passengers. Service is poor. And if something goes wrong it's the customers fault. It's a good thing i don't run the company cause i would fire people on the spot for the poor attitude. Look all you do is go from CLT-LGW-CLT. Have 24hrs off in-between. It isn't hard. Try doing 5-7 legs days. 14hrs duty. Then reduced rest. Then all over again. The regional airlines are what are keeping the standard hi. It's the mainline f/a's that need to be replaced. Although i have had many pleasant flights on a west airplane. But that shouldn't come as any surprise. Flame away. It's the truth. BTW not all regional pilots want to take a 65% pay cut to commute to phl to fly a 190. US Airways is the last airline many of us want to work for because of the east-west civil war.

US also has 23 additional EMB-190s on order. I'm guessing these don't have firm delivery dates, though.

I've worked those flights for years so there's not a damn thing you can tell me about who my colleagues are. Are they perfect? Of course not. You are a perfect
example of imperfection in your ranks. You should really sit down and listen to yourself and your blatant ignorance. There is nothing more arrogant than the sound of a person trying to
defend the indefensible. Who are you and what makes you so great? Who made you the Great Arbitor who decides on who and who shouldn't keep his job? You're probably the same POS who gets inboard kissing up to these flight attendants hoping to get something free. Get over your self. You're no beauty yourself so try looking inward to see how you can better yourself instead. tearing others down. And trust me: When I'm up there I give good service as do the professionals I work with.

 

[ebwgs]

And don't take your fortune of being stuck on pencil planes out on those of us who have more diverse choices. You either like flying regional or you can't qualify for
something else. And believe me I know you have some hot messes over there. Just continue bringing our connecting passengers into our hubs and keep your hostile drivel to yourself, because if not you will be called on it.

Actually your post is quite correct, So tell me what is wrong with going from city to city and hooking up with those 50 something younger babes? MM!
