US Airways will report loss, cut capacity

Are we inline with everyone else for Obama's next great government give-a-way? :rolleyes:

Considering Obama has yet to be inaugurated, what "government give-a-way" has occured on his watch? :rolleyes me self.
 
I read somewhere else tonight (can't find it again) that the 1.7 billion figure was what LCC reported as a loss for the first three quarters, and that year-end figures were not yet available. Yikes! Can anyone clarify?
Do you expect better numbers coming from AA? That may be an even louder "Yikes" :eek:
 
so much for profit sharing this year eh?
after last years loss, I didnt expect one this year..
this company GIVeS US NOTHING!
 
Sad to say, but the profit sharing means nothing to the IAM Fleet Service group anymore. Just another "Little" item gone by the wayside as of the latest T/A.
 
But isn't this true of life in general? That no one "Gives" you anything?

Isn't that why company profits are also referred to as earnings?

And as an employee aren't you a wage earner?

See there is a difference between give and earn. I wouldn't expect a company to give me anything I didn't earn.

Even outlaw bikers have this figured out when they paint this slogan on their bikes, "Arse, Gas or Grass, Nobody Rides For Free"
Bob, I was referring to Christmas.

These morons spend millions on US mail employee garbage, and yet they want US to download our W-2 forms..

NFW>>

Shiitake Howdy... I will sure miss that sizable $150 bonus check for the year I had last time. I'll just need to wallow in my extra $5/hour raise "by the wayside as of the latest T/A," not to mention, a pension plan and decent pay scale in the future too.

So Confirms Jester.
 
This is unlike anything that has ever come in our lifetimes ... many of you are living in some sort of ignorant bliss ... off in LA LA land ...

OK so assuming you're right, what's the alternative? Spend every minute of every day freaking out and preaching gloom and doom and give yourself an ulcer?

And how are you an expert, or more to the point, what is it specifically that you have that allows you to be pretentious enough to assume your opinion is infallible and we're a bunch of sheep? Have you considered the possibility that you're the one living in ignorance and this is why you're freaking out so? Doncha think it's possible that people that have lived a little more and seen a little more realize that to panic does no good and the best thing you can try to do is live day to day as you have? I'm not saying you're wrong, but if your every response is of the impending apocalypse, why even bother?

More to the subject, this is not all that different from what was expected to happen last summer: one of the airlines is probably going to have to fail to further reduce capacity within the industry. Who it will be is anybody's guess, but again the fact of the matter is that no one has a crystal ball.

Maybe you got a $5 raise, but not everyone did. Once again the Fleet group negotiated someting away that the other workgroups still have. Also, several people got more than a $150 bonus check...

"So says Wings"......
 
it is likely that we will all be out of jobs by the end of this year ...

The entire us economy is crumbling ... soon people simply won't have the money to fly , and it will make no difference how much we shrink .... and before one of you mentions bussiness travel, that's going to go away as well ...


Some of you refer to times past and say " this is just another time like times past "

This is unlike anything that has ever come in our lifetimes ... many of you are living in some sort of ignorant bliss ... off in LA LA land ...

The US Economy will destory us .
Geez, you are a real DOWNER. Should we all just call it quits now, or wait until doomsday? You need to get out of this rut that you are in that has the world ending due to the economy. Either you haven't been in the Airline industry for long, or your severly depressed. Things have been bad before, and they will be bad time and time again in the future. This industry has seen many a crisis, and has found it's way thru. Remember the gas crunch in the 70's, the PATCO strike, and the worst of all 9/11? I worked thru most of them, and things looked bleak at times. If I had the outlook that you did, I wouldn't have survived any of it. Take it one day at a time instead of being so focused on all of the negative things that MIGHT happnen. :eek:
