Armed with such a vast array of knowledge, I should assume that you attained that knowledge through college by earning an advanced degree.

Therefore, I am baffled why you would be in a fleet service role at any airline with such credentials.

Either that, or you learned what you know from that "talking TV" you brought up in an earlier post.

I am just a simple uneducated baggage handler who never went to college ...luckily for me I've always been to poor/cheap for cable TV so instead of sitting in front of a box listening to different people tell me what to think as most people do via absorption of the boob tube , I have been forced to READ ...

Oddly other than the Arizona republic the second most available news paper back in the day on the ramp was the WSJ which then lead me to the FT's and economist ....

I find that being a baggage handler leads to a sort of mental clarity as the mind searches for an escape from the monotony of the job ...economics is that escape for me .
 
This subject should be dead for now. Both the pilots and f/a's have said they are on hold until the company ask for their help. Not only that, but who would want to help out the company when they have been screwing the employees for years...

If you have anything under 20 years, you might want to consider Philly in the Fall after this merger is approved. That seems to be the favorite dumping place for those who have been displaced from downsizing and subcontracting.
 
I've spoken with several people and while some feel we could see minor reductions here in PHX there are also people who feel we might see no reductions ....

We've got great weather ,low taxes , a fantastic ontime record ,I just can't see this company cutting its best hub down .

Welcome to our world.

Back in survival training we were taught to pet the rabbit so it would relax right before we broke its neck, that way the meat was as tender as could be. Their big ears would get droopy and their eyes would close.... :)

despite the pilot crap thats STILLLLLL ON GOING 8 plus yrs after the hp/us merger they and the fa/s who just got a new contract after 8 plus yrs theyll still support the company...... as will freedum

freedum if you seriously think that if and or when the merger is approved.... that phx will be still a hub... id seriously take a look at pit as a prime example dude.. pit used to be usairways largest hub at one time... phx will be like dca but may be a few more flights or so due to no slot control issues... as anthr poster put it phl is the favorite dumpin ground although i think may be dca could also be anthr fav target too for transfers

I remember your brilliant economic advice from just a few years ago... "run up all your credit cards to the max and never pay them back", or something to that effect.

How's that working for ya?

"United States economy doomed …

I give it three to five years before total collapse .

Why do I say this ?

1. OIL , oil as we all know is the backbone of the us economy , and its like someone's just taken our backbone and snapped it over their knee like a twig .. I don't believe that our country can survive with oil prices as high as they are today ,, maybe somewhere in the 110 to 120 range but I don't see the prices falling that low until we've sustained critical damage ..

2. The us government is almost bankrupt ..it wasn't too long ago that old uncle sam had to give himself another credit extension by raising the maximum federal debt level ..Right now we're nine trillion dollars in the hole. It won't be long again until we hit our ceiling …oh hey , by the way , the expensive and draining war in iraq isnt helping this problem .

3 our long term obligations are soon to roost , I forget which medical system is going dry , but wasnt the government warning us about one of them going under in 2017 ? Not to mention that most of the states in our country are in the red , and the same goes for a lot of cities as well How will the gov be able to jump start the economy if there's nothing in the bank , and if we know theres nothing in there and the world knows , you can expect our dollar to plummet


sorry this isnt a very thought out post. Im just going off the top of my head here¦ I'll write something a bit more comprehensive when I get the chance , but that'about it in a nut shell"

"is someone preparing a plan B for when the US ECONOMY comes to a grinding halt? life will NEED to go on ...

Dear doom journal ...

today the market decended into the 8000 point range ... as sad as that is , i feel gratified because i have now proven my point to the "roid monster " ... i once had an argument about oh say 6 months ago where i explanied that things were going to get "really really bad" but no , roid monster with his college degree said things would just drop to around 9000 thousand points and the people who can't pay their homes or loans would get washed out of the system .....

Well this under educated baggage handler knows different , and today i've been proven correct ...the US market is collapsing around us ... i feel like that dude in the 1978 superman movie who is telling everyone that a horrible event is coming , but noooo most people don't listen and so i' and others like me are just kooks .... you know what the worst part of this is doom journal ? in the superman movie the dude was able to put his son into the pod and send him to another world .... well i don't have a pod .... that's the worst part of it ...and even if i did have a pod AND a son ... i'd make sure that it was me in that pod and not some infant ...i mean come on , a man can always have more children right ?

that's about it for today doom journal , althou iceland may announce BK tonight , if they do we can expect markets everywhere to drop like rocks .. heck the us market might even close tomorrow ... "

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Freedom doesn't even have that record.

Hey how was I to know that our government was going to massively debase our currency , instead of handling the problem head on we've chosen to just print until the cows come home ..

we are a nation of economic CRACK addicts afraid of facing real structural change .

Did you see the latest jobs report ? Were is the FED growth we were promised ?

All we have to show for trillions of dollars in easing are semi stable asset prices and higher bank reserves leading to bigger banker bonuses.
