Were you born stupid, or do you have
to work at it every day? Statements like
this show just how moronic some union
represented employees are. In case you
didn't already get the telegram, the only
people getting hurt in all of this are the
CUSTOMERS. Why are you so happy
that our customers are getting scrued
during the holidays? If you were a
paying customer, I don't think you
would appreciate what occurred in
PHL.
Believe it when I say it. Management
will investigate and find out where the
responsibility lies in this matter. You
had better hope they don't find out it
was a job action because if they do,
anyone who walked out will be
terminated.

Hundreds of US Airways employees called in sick yesterday and today, according to a local flight attendants representative, and 100 flights were canceled across US Airways' system yesterday, many of them due to crew shortages. Bad weather across the Northeast was also a factor in the cancellations, according to US Airways spokeswoman Amy Kudwa, who said she does not believe the crew shortages were part of any organized effort on the part of labor, which is being asked to give up $1 billion in new concessions as part of the airline's survival plan. Teddy Xidas, local union representative for the flight attendants union, asked employees to volunteer their time to cover the shortages. "This is tough right now," she wrote, "sick calls are in the hundreds." The flight attendants are being asked to vote by Jan. 5 on a concessionary pact that would lower their pay 9 percent and reduce vacation time.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the lone holdout in the US Airways' request for $1 billion in labor cuts, is still talking with the company about concessions. The unit representing the baggage handlers met with the company last week. The unit representing mechanics did not meet face-to-face with the company last week or get an official counterproposal to a union offer made Dec. 16, but there was dialogue between the two sides. The airline is seeking more than $353 million from the IAM, which represents about 9,000 baggage handlers, mechanics, stock clerks and cleaners.

Maybe the employees just don't care anymore. Feckless managers, inadequate scheduling, and being treated like intinerate laborers might have finally broke the camel's back.
The customers are probably wondering who are the idiots running this sorry company.
For those that do not have enough class and integrity to do their job when they were scheduled to work that resulted in the interruption and inconvenience to innocent customers that paid money to travel, then I only wish and hope that those same individuals get screwed twice as badly next time they make a purchase and try to get the company to wrong a right. They deserve exactly what they have dished out and if the can't take the heat get the he!! out of the kitchen!!!!!!!!! Union or no union it simply comes down to what is right and wrong and unfortunately some people just never learn and understand but then it would take some effort and intelligence!!!! Hope they all had as great a Christmas as the one they screwed over which includes their fellow employees!!!! If you don't like the truth then that is just too bad!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the really unproductive ones it usually hurts!!!!!!!!
