Past Management''s fault? Past Management decisions for personal gain?
I guess you are trying to imply that this NEW management doesn''t have a thread of "personal gain" in-it-for-me" attitude. Of course not. They are just in it to see if they can save a company, right? Yea, I get it. They are in it to throw out 19,000 jobs and save the little staff we have left to barely operate a business, AND KEEP ALL OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND THEN SOME! Yea. I see the picture you are conveying. Ultruistic management who just want to SAVE A COMPANY.
Here''s an epiphany....all of management''s tongues are hanging out just waiting to suck any profits this company makes. Senior Officers get 7.8% stake; NOT counting bonus money for job performance. Not company performance; but their own job performance. They will make that profit if they have to force more jobs out, have 1 person perform three jobs on the lower end of the totem, and they will just sit back in their chairs and watch us work hours and hours more with less desposable income until we have no family left, financial ruin, sick with major hospital bills due to poor coverages, wait until you scream "uncle" and then have you replaced with the next "fresh face" that doesn''t have a clue to what''s in store, waiting to get ruined as well.
And then, this management will get very wealthy on our backs. Then, my friend, what will you say? Or do you think this is not a probability with this wonderful "labor friendly", exquisite, bring- home- to-dinner-to-meet-the-family, blame past management and all of labor for where we are today, kind of management?

Helloooo, Miss Union-Banner Waver... was WOpropTrash not blaming a UNION for the ills of this airline and was I not DEFENDING the union and BLAMING management. But since you brought it up, if it wasn''t for THIS managment, we would have been liquidated. There is NO way WolfGang could have or would have pulled it together. I will not say this management is labor friendy... not by a long shot. But compared to liquidation, the current employees have a choice to stay or not to stay. Don''t put words in my mouth. I don''t like the current situation one bit. But that doesn''t negate the fact that Wolf and Gangwal raped, pillaged, and plundered US Airways into near oblivion. Unfortunately, it is up to this management to shovel the sh*t that they left behind... and believe me there was a lot of it.

DCAflyer,
I know you were NOT defending the Union...god forbid. PAST management made a profit, if you were around then, for 4 straight years. AND you believe liquidation was possibility. I believe it was NOT probable; look at United, they will be here for a long, long time and their doing USAirways style, so will the rest.
So, the difference here and where the line exists is YOU believe managment liquidation threat and I believe it was their "trump card" to crippling labor. Won''t happen again, promise.
And IT IS NOT MANAGMENT SHOVELING SH*%, BUT THE RANK AND FILE EMPLOYEES PICKING UP THE #### AND SHOVELING IT...start getting it straight already.
