It sounds like the attendees had a great time, and it also seems like it was very well planned. The company appears to have gotten what it wanted, judging from the effusive comments on FT. For those of us who hang out and read these threads, it will be interesting to hear all about the company's plans for its recovery, and for us as proactive customers. Bob, as leader of the new reform wing of the unwashed, but status laden core of USAir frequent flyerdom, you must stop teasing, and supply us with the real scoop on what they shared with you. With what looks like a pending name change for your tribe, it also falls to you to figure out what Ira does with all that stuff he has that says "roach" on it.The temptation to lift your leg on the house of miles in Colorado Springs is mighty, but we're here waiting to get the news.
Deelmaker,
Please be patient. The information is being compiled and professionally transcribed. It will represent as true a picture as we can present. What I will tell you now in this forum is that NOTHING will be published on FlyerTalk OR US Aviation. We made this decision quite some time ago in order to encourage a frank and open exchange of ideas. We were by all accounts I recieved successful in that regard. Once the document is prepared and ready we will make it available. Exactly how is currently being discussed. Most likely through our web site.
As for Randy, I am not interested in "lifting my leg on the house of miles" I just feel given his involvement with DL, that he would have at least have the professional courtesy to politely decline. I have commitees to get rolling and a host of other activities to attend to if we are to take this group to the next level. We have acheived our original goal of access to US Airways management, we need to maintain that access going forward. The DL group despite RP's generosity and $$$$$ is still on the outside looking in near as I can tell. I said all I'm going to say regarding RP.
Deel I have many many thoughts right now but the one that keeps jumping up at me is that while we may have changed the name, we will NEVER lose the spirit of the Cockroaches and for that we owe you a debt of gratitude that can not easily be repaid. Please never for one minute of one day think I don't read your posts and process your wise counsel because I do. EVRYONE of them.
