Hey Fern
The internet has the power to ruin us. Do you guys FINALLY get it or are you a one hit wonder?? You guys come on here and spread the FF love while the REAL employees clean up your mess. And lest we forget the threats some employees have received from management for those posting here and on USAviation. I hope you all are finally seeing that we complain because we care. We want US to be special, not generic. We need you to be human, not a robot. We need tools, not toys. I am pleased you have communicated, but you have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to gain back the FF AND employee's respect and trust!! You ran off many and now are panicking. Frankly, this is too little, too late. Please tell someone there to get a little vision and stop behaving in a reactionary way. It will be interesting to see if the company has finally come to realize the true wisdom, "if we don't take care of our customers, someone else will." My suspicion is, however, there's a WHOLE bunch of arrogance that needs to be purged....since the interview with US Management basically said, "we've seen no drop-off in bookings." I find that impossible to believe. Then again, I find nothing this management team says impossible to believe. Thankfully, CO and WN are taking excellent care of me....after US stopped doing so when the worst of HP came to reside inside US aircraft. |
Interesting that it only applies to preferreds. It occurs to me that it remains harder to attain silver since you don't get the 500 minimum, but becomes easier to maintain or advance to other levels.

Here...Here! Very well said Flight62. If it wasn't still early in the morning, I'd toast you with a drink. Since it is still morning for me, I will raise my coffee cup to you. Hope that is ok.
I think that US is simply doing what is necessary to make its FFP conform to what will be the new standard when CO moves over to *A. We have seen it happening at CO and I suspect that in the months to follow, further changes in all three programs (UA, US, CO) will occur to make them more similar than different. I will just have to wait and see where the hammer falls in regards to "enhancements" to each of the programs. |

Now with my two milage runs and getting retro miles I will make 41K in the next two weeks!!!!! I was short few miles for qualifying to Gold, and now I'll be few miles short of Platinum!!!
I wanted to qualify for the status and jump the ship to Continental, but now I have no reason to leave US. Thanks US Airways! |

Just be sure that you have your $2 (in correct change) ready for the FA.

[QUOTE=VanTheMan63;10783414]Well stated flight62. If only US Airways knew how valuable a roll you play both in your day working for US and your vountary roll here. ^
/QUOTE] US Airways needs to place employees like me in liasion positions to get back the FF and business customer. I would go off line in a heartbeat to do what I can to turn this sinking ship (with regards to this issue). But they would NEVER ask someone like me as that would go against their elitist, CPA ( no offense to CPA's) style of running an airline. I challenge the company stalkers to approach me in some capacity. Who's in?? |

Too little, too late. |

Dumb move to begin with. They basically give other airlines a free opening to win over their top customers. Sure some folks will return, but others probably won't look back.

I'm surprised at the impact this will have on my account. From May 1 to now I have ~65 segments and 73k miles. With the 500 min and 100% bonus miles I get just under 40k miles. It looks like booking a ton of flights prior to 8/6 and getting the bonus miles for those flights sheilded me from the true impact of the now recinded changes.
If asked prior to the press release, I would have guessed closer to 60k miles. |

For what it's worth USAirways has been advertising for Corp. Comm. positions for a couple of months now. It's more or less what I do for a living (which is why I realize how bad they are at it) but I wouldn't touch those jobs with a 10' pole. No sense in jumping into a failing company in this economy.
In my humble opinion it's too late to right this ship. |
