Everyone has sacrificed. What we need to do is look how we can survive in the future. If we combine forces and work together we can create a force to be reckoned with. Im not saying US is the worlds best company, but our management is at least looking to create a postiive change. Thye are trying to be proactive and not just react to other changes. We know wages are not where they should be but until we become profitable year over year things will not improve for the rank and file. US employees have all been through enough with mergers to understand how you feel now and how threatening it may seem. We're still muddling thru HP/US merger but we are looking to become stronger while dealing with lots of issues. We understand the fear Delta employees felt but we werent looking to eat them. If merger possibilities start to arise please look at what the combined airlines could acheive together. Regards, Mama
