The View From The Passenger's Seat.

[EyeInTheSky]

Geeez, you are in a dream world. The media is crushing your union brothers and having US on their resume as a PHL employee is only going to hurt them when they look for a job. The public, who got screwed over last week, are going to be the people interviewing US employees when the doors close.

US1YFARE, that's just a cheap shot. Look, I am leaving US in a few months to work for another company. During the interview process I was grilled over US Airways. Still this company (one of the most profitable companies on the planet) chose to hire me. So, no, just because I worked at US Airways didn't make me a leper. In reality, they said my 19 years at US Airways is an asset. Take that in your pipe and smoke it pal!

DITTO!

I left U only months ago and on my second job with a third offering soon coming all good jobs and all better benefits by far, so get your head out of your ice hole, pal.

Hey customer

I wonder is you enjoy vacation time and sick days and health insurance
well if you do thank them communist Union lobbies that fought to have congress pass laws so idiots like you can enjoy these benefits....

And next time why not take Delta ..they lose more bags on their good day than any usairways does on their bad day...

That's funny- talked to a lady today, still looking for her three bags missing since the 23rd.
She is beyond being angry, she just wanted her bags back. But even after all her ordeal ( she was overnighted in PHL with her child and handicapped sister and had to pay for her own hotel), she still had to comment- This was bad, but Delta is worse and I'll still never go back to them!

 

[EyeInTheSky]

which is why i can't believe there are so many people at us can't get it through their heads that people's wallets won't pay for their insobordination too much longer. so, a bag isn't just a bag, it's your jobs if it drives that "customer" (or any customer - especially one that flies 80k/year) away.

You don't understand. The whole company is understaffed!!! I am inclined to believe that the employees of US Airways have been wearing big "S" on their chest for the past two years. It's the upper management that has thrown kryptonite on the whole operation this holiday season. Until the airline is staffed with fembots and menbots expect the occasional sick call. Cripe.

The deadbeat goes on....

 

[madders]

You know I think people are a bunch of dumb a$$
It was not a labor dispute ..that cause the sickout ..people just making use of their sick banks I am betting it happens every year..
It was bad now because Usairways is understaffed......and maybe these employees should have used up their sick time througout the year..

If it was union organised it would not just be PHL ....

I am betting that those people who called in sick after seeing what happens are sick to their stomach that they did ..because they knew its there co-workers that paid the price and worse you lovely passengers..

but to address this idiot above who said "I feel sorry for the hard working employees of US Airways. I know, like any company, there are folks who are doing a great job and busting their butt! I do not wish THOSE folks any ill will. BUT… I will drink a toast to all the baggage handlers, management and malcontents who lose their jobs when US Airways tanks in January or February. YOU murdered your airline. At this point, there is no saving it. Congratulations! You have no one to blame, but yourselves. Good luck in finding similar employment with similar benefits. I’m sure you will have no problem within this job market. "You said you did not mean any ill will but yet you said "all"

700, you never cease to amaze me. Go back and read what you wrote. His post is not worthless and your rush to lable it so is pathetic at best.

I especially liked the 2nd line. Airlines were designed and run to deliver people AND checked bags. Using your mentality, no one is suppose to check a bag and those that do are "stupid"?

It's nice to see you admit that some of your members pulled the "stunt" in PHL. Everyone knows Managment atU are loosers, now it seems some IAM mebers are just as bad.

As for your last line, perhaps it's you who should crawl under a rock.

The customer wanted to say how his trip went and you degrade him/her and tell him to crawl under a rock? He is paying your salary and all the salaries of your IAM Brothers and Sisters. Go ahead 700, kill your own "goose", you seem to be good at it.

peace friend

ps, you gotta love it to be here.

For what was predicted only two or three days earlier as being a record-setting day for the Atlanta airport, US Air decided to staff a whole three people at their counter Thursday morning! One serving first class, the other helping people at the "self-serve" kiosks, and a whole one person working the line! Can't blame this one on weather.

Cancelled flights, delays, rebookings, overbookings, standby, etc. You know the story…

How can you place all your wrath on the unions when you state how woefully UNDERSTAFFED the counters at ATL and PHL were? I'm quite sure the union would love to have more of it's members working.

 

[planeluvr]

I still love U and wish everyone the best.

 

[justanadd]

your post is not pointless and it is not worthless..

have a very strong feeling that the sec of the dot..mineta

will read your post.

[post="233453"][/post]​

Another waste of taxpayer dollars, what is there to investigate we all know what happened

 

[700UW]

If they want to change the economics, then the airlines need to charge more for the tickets when fuel goes up.

While I don't blame consumers for wanting the cheapest fare possible, it's just not right that an airplane ticket is cheaper than filling a car with gasoline.

 

[GadgetFreak]

Oh, just cut the fares by $20 and "customer" will be back in no time. Um, well, okay, maybe not.

His employee group is so far removed from the front line of our operation that he could care less about the headaches and heartaches inflicted on our customers. The fact that he can insult our paying customers even here on this forum shows how callose and uncaring his group is.

It's all about me...period. That's the attitude we've had to deal with for years and now it's spilling over to the customer.

And least our group does not have a god complex.

And when I am at work I give it my all to help turn the airplane as quickly as possible.

How many times have you refused to take an airplane when the autopilot is on MEL.

Don't you get paid to fly the plane, not a computer?
