Plan To Save Us Airways Falls Apart

[zonecontroller]

They forgot to mention the moves of Steven Wolf:
Buying back over $1.5 billon of US Airways stock instead of using the money as operating capital or paying down debt or just having it around for a downturn.

Zonecontroller,

Please don't speak badly about the "Saviours" Steve and Rakesh.
We really did not have a need for the 1.5 bil.

That's why the next 30 to 90 days are critical.

I find it interesting that the Washington Post published this article today and later this afternoon senior management will meet with the entire ALPA MEC in Washington at the Special MEC meeting.

Coincidental?

Respectfully,

USA320Pilot

maybe the next 60-90 days wouldnt be so critical if someone didnt keep using the term liquidation a few weeks back and scare off about 4months worth of future bookings? that was the 2nd time that happened with the exact same result.

interesting to see that once again.

Tis much better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

I seem to remember Chirs Chiames making a statement some time ago about how USAir did not plan to farm out the Airbus work! So take his latest statement as the truth???? I somehow cannot believe it. Any way I thought it was a very well written article. Interesting on how Dave is percieved now vs when he took over U. When U shuts the doors for good, Dave will no longer be known as a rising star in the industry, but as a failure who could not get the job done! Either way he and a select few will have their millions and the rest of the 28000+ employee's will be on the street! :down:

PineyBob, ah yes, Chris Elliott. Didn't Chris Chiames put a Fatwa out on him at USA Today? For those that need a recap go to these posts on this board /index.php...?showtopic=8050. That's the problem with Chris Chiames and his team they are out to kill the messenger not the message. Threats, intimidation is the Crystal City motto. US Airways corporate mentality gives a whole new meaning to screw in the verb screwing.

Eye,

Very good point!

Management seeks to KILL the messenger in hopes to KILL the message.

WE employees know all to well, hence, the Ethics/Conduct policy book that just came out on Dec. 29, 2003.

Bob,

That's no new epiphany that you cite above.

Dave has revealed his business plan in every Friday's message for the past 2 months.

And his plan has been revealed to 1 union group that I know of. Nothing new you're telling us.

PS: BTW, they can't do anything to us either, Ethics policy or no ethics policy. 😉

Hey Piney, I know just the post you're talking about. Now here's a blast post from the past. Seems to me old Davey boy played his hand here with foreshadowing.


That enlightening post by can be found here:

With WN workrules we could probably fly 60 plus addtional mainline airplanes with WN work rules.

Folks that was posted on November 22, 2003 by real world. NOW ask yourselves who in the hell could this be? Duh! Don't you just love the Internet!

 

[PITbull]

Eye,

The posts just duplicated. Yours and mine. There is a small "glitch", and we both got caught up in it. I deleted the replicated post and put this in here instead.

You are correct, "real world" did post that, but then again, he's been telling us this for weeks. In addition, the 60 a/c was printed in the paper sometime in early January.

Hey PITbull seems there's a little traffic jam on the board tonite.

Eyeln the Sky: I was just thiinking the same thing. It has taken me forever to even get to the forums. Mighty busy night for USAirways. By the way thanks for your input.

Please do not guess at the identities of our members.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

PineyBob, easy there. The folks here at US aviation have a hard enough time with a certain pilot with a chip on his shoulder, now don't become like that guy. I didn't know the term "outing" applied to the Internet? Did you?

I'll go ahead and admit that the guesses of my identity are indeed true. 😛h34r:
