Hate to see it happen but things have got to start moving and this will be a way to show dave and company means buisness. From a buisness 101 perspective it makes sense. It doesnt help the very dedicated men and women who have been there time and time again for this company , but we have to change adapt move on. Good luck to all those hard workers who may lose a job. I think we are getting ready to see why Dave was really hired and see some MAJOR news in the coming weeks.

Is there a specific day and timeline that the new plan will be announced? Will there be a new plan or is it just rumour? When will it be available to the public?

Light Years:
Light Years asked: "Is there a specific day and timeline that the new plan will be announced? Will there be a new plan or is it just rumour? When will it be available to the public?"
Chip answers: I understand the transformation plan will be presented to the board this week and it will be announced after New Year's. Union board members will be in attendance at the meeting, but they all have signed confidentiality agreements.
In regard to the Greentree (Pittsburgh) Reservations facility, the company rejected the lease agreement just prior to exiting bankruptcy.
In my opinion, the company could close this facility and transfer the agent positions to Winston-Salem, where additional space may be available. This move could serve two purposes: get the ACAA's attention on the Pittsburgh hub and create further economies of scale with one Rez facility.

Chip

Winston Res is almost out of space, unless the company wants to sign a lease again for the building that Gen sales moved out of.
I think they will do it and when the call volume gets too high they will stop having us book awards and contract out award booking to one of those call center businesses that operate out of India and the Phillipines like American Express is doing. That is the way things are heading for US call centers. So much for good customer service.

That is hardly a concern with this management group....it is as Chip outlined , a warning shot across the bow of Allegheny County and the state of Pennsylvania.USFlyer said:
Logic and long term ramifications is a moot point with CCY....it's about them making a point or making an example of something/someone.
Res wouldn't close overnight....and being off the field , they'll assume thier draconian measures won't make an "On the Field" disaster during the peak holiday traffic season.
I see this scenario that Chip is speaking of as a most plausable possibility....I knew if he kept throwing enough at the wall...eventually some of it would have a chance to stick. Time will tell on this one....I hope for PIT that he's wrong again.
