New Service

[PITbull]

USflyer,

Do you know that personally? Cause I have something to say about that as well.

"Birds of a feather flock together".

 

[USFlyer]

Yes.

 

[ITRADE]

To ITRADE,

Yes it is a welfare state, the employees are supporting the company with $1.1 Billion a year in concessions for till the end of 2008 and 20,000 less jobs.

Huh, that's interesting. The name on the SEC form says US Airways Group, Inc.. That incorporated tends to indicate that you're full of it.

 

[ITRADE]

"I don't get this - US announces new service and you're screaming conspiracy.

Eessshhh....Somebody, please call the head shrinker."

Yes, you are correct Itrade. You don't get it so I will attempt to help! Step one would be to look up the word conspiracy in the dictionary and read the defintion. Step two would be to look at what Siegel has done to this company from an OPERATIONAL point and use your brain to determine whether he knows what he is doing. Step three would be to try to understand that Bronner has the ability to fire Seigel if he has good reason. You see, Bronner is the guy telling us to fly the jets to Augusta and Glasgow. Not Siegel. That means he has power. That is the point of the post. Once you figure all that out (must be kind of tough fo you) then read the post again.

I don't need to look up the word consipracy; I litigate it all of the time. You're arguing that Bronner is pulling the strings on Siegel and is using Siegel as the public front. This would be a conspiracy.

And if Bronner is the evil force behind it all, then you cannot blame Siegel for doing what he has done, because, after all, "Bronner is the guy telling us" to do things.

Wings 396,

You may THINK ITRADE doesn't work for U. And that's just what he wants folks to think. However, I believe he either works for U, or he - - - - - in the head.

Wrong on both accounts, but thanks for playing.

Way I see it, Bronnerhead needs us; not the other way around. Without labor providing service here, he can kiss his investment and his ### good bye.

Technically, he doesn't need you. He's first in line as the original DIP. So, if he wanted to call it quits, he's the holder on the biggest part of the debt and can simply get rid of the gates, slots, and planes and get the lion's share of his money back.

We're getting off topic here as well.

 

[ITRADE]

Drifting back on topic, the application gives blanket authority for service to the U.K. (exluding LGW and LHR). So, if US wanted to begin CLT-MAN, this application would cover it. If US wanted to start PHL-EDI, this application would cover it.

This application may be an opener to allow US entry to MAN from other non-PHL locations for sake of connection to BMI and their * Alliance routes.

Of course, at this point, US is really going to have to consider its A-330 delivery schedule.

will us ever re-start service to alburquirke, nm; san antonio, tx; and anywhere out west of the mississippi river anytime soon?

US did start service to EGE - which was the first real west of the mississippi in quite a few years. Re: the shuttered US stations (i.e., SAT, PDX, SMF), I'd doubt it any time soon unless Chip's UCT comes to fruition.

 

[robbedagain]

how long ago did they fly into and out of EGE? I do remember the years they flew toSMF but pulled out shortly after 9-11. what was the reason? i guess it is the brainless trustyeess from ccy that doesnt know how to open profittable markets in the west. I'd like to see smf and some of the west stations reopen again.

Uh, no. US (via US Express) has not flown to SMF since about 1999.

Itrade:

You must be a lawyer or a politician. You are putting words in my mouth AND my post. " don't need to look up the word consipracy; I litigate it all of the time. You're arguing that Bronner is pulling the strings on Siegel and is using Siegel as the public front. This would be a conspiracy.

And if Bronner is the evil force behind it all, then you cannot blame Siegel for doing what he has done, because, after all, "Bronner is the guy telling us" to do things."

I never said Bronner is "pulling the strings on Seigel". I never said he is "using Siegel as the public front". Those are your words, your "conspiracy". So, since you must be a lawyer I'll try one more time:

Bronner has the power to tell Siegel where to fly. Apparently also to tell him where to have our maintenance done on the Airbuses in his home state. The point is that he has power. Power to dismiss Siegel. Which is exactly what he should do. Bronner is the Chairman of the Board. That is not conspiracy. That is power. I want Siegel out. Bronner has that power. The employees need to convince him to do just that.

Now go be productive and litigate. Litigation is what made this country what it is today.

I believe ITRADE, if he is a lawyer at all (which I doubt, more like a paralegal), is working for U, directly or indirectly. He is always quick with anwers, WHY? What's in this for him to be so concerned with Siegel and how he is regarded on these boards? Unless, yes, maybe this is it......ITRADE is Dave's Mom.....

 

[USA320Pilot]

Itrade does not have a direct interest in US Airways and does not work for the company.

He is an interested observer who I believe voices his opinion -- nothing more, nothing less.

Regards,

Chip

Wrong again, but thanks for playing. You've got two strikes.

And, just a hint, at least two others are correct.
