Tempe is our own little Pyongyang

Didn't NW fire a F/A a few years back for posting negative stuff about NW and I think it went to court but I don't remember who won..Anyone remember this? And was Isom behind it as well? :unsure:

Didn't LCC attempt to fire that flight attendant who published that internet newsletter a while back? I think he might have been on furlough, but has since returned and is now, I believe, a union rep?

Can't remember his name. Something Irish: Mc?

It makes me wonder that a corporation whines and complains about this, that and the other thing, implying they are losing money hand over fist, yet they have enough resources, apparently, to interdict the only critical input to their operation, in effect, sweeping their own embarrassments under the rug.

Good reply to a good analogy, North Korea.

Think about it. The only reason to keep a list is for reference later on, when time has dulled the memory and, likely, circumstances have changed.

Why would a corporate entity want to reference something later? To punish someone differently than normal should they step out of line? To deny promotion? To Swift-boat their own employees, holding such an issue up to the Board as an "example" of the obstacles they "have to put up with"? (If so, I want a cut of their raise :D )

Is it any wonder people associated with such a corporate entity would have low morale?

US has become a corporation whose primary mission seems to be to dump on their own employees after shaking them down for every penny that can legally be extracted. Lowest employee cost in the industry and they still cannot be number one. Am I the only person who has re-thought my assumptions that management is here to run an airline?
 
The ramp director at PHX was on the parking garage with binoculars and a radio watching for signs of labor unrest and you are surprised that the management is paranoid?! This is old news! :lol:
 
Many of us don't even work for US anymore. Some of us just post information about issues we receive from friends. This is an internet chat site and we all could be someone other than what you think. My disclaimer is I work at Wendy's drive thru window #2. :lol:

J. Edgar Isom?

News Alert News Alert News Alert

J.Edgar Isom is related to J. Edgar Hoover. Things are starting to make sense here, so when January 21st, 2009 rolls around, Parker and Kirby will be shown the hard wooden door with alot of splinters, and be replaced by G.W. Bush and D. Cheney. And rumor has it that D. Rumsfield will be a special advisor.

Will this mean "NEW" Nonstop service from Philadelphia to Tehran? :lol: :lol: :lol:

This news has been triple checked for accuracy. We have our moles too, Mr. Isom.

It appears that we have sunk to the level of a paraniod, failed state like North Korea.

Facts are that these message boards are being monitored by the company to the point that Robert Isom has a list of approximately 40-55 usernames attached to current US Airways employees!!!!

With oil priced at $140.00 per barrel, our stock priced at $2.45 and Cokes soon to be for sale onboard at $2.00, you'd think he would have more important things to worry about.

I'm appalled and embarrassed to work at US Airways.

Can I use my stock option shares ($53.00 a share) to purchase my next round of Cokes on a flight? They'll make money on it at the going price of LCC stock.

It would really F with Him/Them to have an en masse switching of screen names for all of the regulars on this board. Somehow distribute the list via PM in sort of a conversion chart format, so that the regulars would know that NCFL is now known as Trombone Player or something like that. We'd all know (and eventually know from memory) who each other is, but Pyongyang would be totally out of the loop.

Too complex, I know, but I get some sort of perverse kick out of dreaming up ways to F with people's heads. Especially Napoleanic dictators.
 
FINE but I WON'T be doing trash tonight then OK? I always wondered how my roomate handled the airline business. YUCK
 
I disagree. US Airways really isn't a totalitarian dictatorship.

A fiefdom, perhaps (one cannot deny the parallels between feudalism and post-AWA US), but a totalitarian dictatorship...hardly.

I'll concede some Marxist and/or Leninist tendencies particularly with the use of the working class to further advance the goals of the regime, but US lacks the critical element of control that's necessary for the revolution to survive.

Interesting discussion, though.

Maybe they should make shares of LCC buy on board....if I could get a paper certificate, I could use it as a napkin for my non-exist pretzels...the al a carte pricing seems to be in line.

That's a great idea. They can call the new initiative "Invest in US," "Help US fly!" or "Own a piece of US."

They're always looking at new revenue opportunities. This is totally in line with their new m.o.
