MEC CODE-A-PHONE UPDATE
January 8, 2004
This is MEC Chairman Bill Pollock with a US Airways MEC update for Thursday, January 8th, with one new item.
Reports in the media today suggested that US Airways management is producing policy as a result of employees refusing to give more concessions. Management’s message is sterile and continues to display their lack vision toward managing our airline.
The Company has not approached the Association regarding the selling of assets nor have they disclosed a “revised business planâ€. It is our hope that their plan, if one is presented to the Association, utilizes the resources already provided to them with the billions of dollars of concessions from the pilots and other employee groups.
Despite these distracting reports attributed to anonymous sources, the pilots and other employees of US Airways must continue to focus on their extraordinary work performance under such rigid circumstances. You are to be commended for your professionalism reflected in the November 2003 Department of Transportation (DOT) Air Travel Consumer Report issued this month, which reflects excellence on the performance of US Airways’ employees. The product that you produce, as US Airways, is ranked in the top four for best on-time performance for the month of November out of 18 ranked airlines.
I urge you to continue producing excellence despite our circumstances and the daily distractions. I also want you to know that the Air Line Pilots Association will continue to pursue the goal of achieving success at US Airways.
Please remember we have 1,879 pilots on furlough.
Thank you for listening.
