Funny, their names don't appear on any manifest from PHL-DCA for the 3rd?

Dave Siegel (w/family) & Rakesh Gangwal (w/family) were on the same inbound flight from the Carribean into PHL yesterday connecting to DCA. Was this mearly a coincidence or is something else in the works? By the way, it is not my intent to exploit Dave''s travels. Notice that I did not say where in the Carribean they originated and everyone knows Dave lives in a suburb of DC. I just thought that this may be more than a coincidence. Ohhh, to be a fly on the wall.....

Most interesting and high probability that it is more than coincidence. Don't feel guilty if you think your exploiting his travel patterns....he's exploited the employee's at U!! Information is power...

How's it stealing if you agreed to the deal?

How do you call threats of liquidation and having the two Dave's hold a gun to your head agreeing to a deal?

I call it negotiating - the same threats that the unions offer every time that they threaten to go on strike. Agree with our terms or we'll walk out, strike, and shut this airline down.

Hey folks,
Please trust me on this Gangwal and Siegel are not best of friends. It was coincedence because Gangwal was called by phone about this. In fact, they happen to be on the same flight from DCA to PHL, and then they parted. And this was the Friday before last.
Gangwal IS NOT SIEGEL. There mangagement style is completely different, regardless of what anyone on this board may think. And, I am the most critical of mangagement. I call a "spade" a "spade" and call as I see'em.
In retrospect, I would take old management over new, in a beat of a heart. Keep in mind that Gangwal was here in the worst of times and best of times, when this airline made money...and lots of it. With that came rewards for all.
I've heard two rumors...Siegel is building a home in Florida, or Camen Island, not sure if this is true or if any is true with this rumor.

ITRADE, time for a reality check for yourself, airline employees cannot strike at the drop of a hat, so there is no threat until the NMB releases the parties.
A contract in the airline industry does not expire it becomes amendable, the IAM/US Airways Mechanic and Related contract became amendable in August of 1995, it was settled in Ocotober of 1999, FOUR YEARS, four years of the company stalling, four years on no raises while the company raked in profits and profited of off our backs, and it took the the threat of strike after finally being released from federal mediation to obtain that contract, so why don't you get your facts straight.
And with the Liar in the white house he stopped NWA and UAL unionized empoyees from going on strike, so there is no threat.
Look at Southwest six months and they had a new contract in place for their ticket and res agents.
So don't pull the strike crap with me, because their is no threat as long as companies can use the Railway Labor Act to stall and prolong negotiations and then ask the President to stop any strike from occuring. The RLA was written in 1926 when there were no airlines and it was written to protect interstate commerce, not protect railroad and airline workers.
Look up the facts before you post.

This is absolutely ****** amazing. How many times did I hear the luddites like you referring to Gangwal as Gangbang, Hajji, or whatever nonsense.

ITRADE, I am glad to see you can't comprehend the truth and facts. I went 4 years without a raise while US was raking in profits, but I understand the FACTS get in your way of thinking.
And I for one have never ever bashed or used racial slurs against Gangwal, so try again.

Again, you've done zippo to refute the point that threats of strike and actual strikes are a tool that unions use all the time. You refuse to see anything that exists beyond your narrow view of the world. I really, really pity you. Since you didn't get your raise, I've got a buck or two that I could send to you for your next 6-pack of Blatts beer. After all, you will certainly need one after the 3d shift.On 8/4/2003 10:30:48 AM LavMan wrote:
