All ahead full!
Seems that all the major airlines in the USA have decided that they may have been a little to quick to fire so many employees in the aftermath of Sept 11. CAL, AA, UAL, AWA along with DAL have decided to suspend or severely cut back on the furloughing of pilots due to the resurgance of passengers going on planes.
All these carriers see the obvious except the highest paid of them all. Steven "wolf in wolfs clothing" Wolf of USAirways has decided to not only furlough more pilots than AA, UAL an DAL have combined, he is now adding another 250 to the street! Clever when you think that USAirways cancelled 420 flights on Nov 30 due to pilot shortage. Today 12/25 they cancelled 87 trips and tomorrow in excess of 100 due to the lack of FAs! Seems that they are short of FAs now because they used so many of them up and are no longer legal to fly trips until the end of the month.
So now with passenger loads increasing USAirways are parking in excess of 140 planes in the Mojave Desert and replacing them with nothing!
After telling congress during the failed merger with UAL, that one cannot shrink and airline into profitability, it seems that Mr. Wolf is going to prove himself wrong or ruin the company trying!
"Rocks ahead, Mr Wolf"
"Both screws all ahead full!!"

May I also mention that Mr Steven "wolf in wolfs clothing" receives a handsome pay package to the tune of $24,000,000 per annum which is again higher than the pay package of the CEOs of UAL, AA and SWA combined!
Seems like the money is in the 'treating employees like crap' business. I am sure MOL would agree. <img src="mad.gif" border="0">

Posted a thread on the woes of US Airways only ten days ago.
Flew to MSY via Charlotte and Pittsburg on return and spoke to various crew who are not that rosy at present.
Half empty planes, grumpy faces, little banter from flightdeck, many can't see life past the first quarter. The first major to fold in 2002? I hope not, enough parked airplanes already.
Where's Mr Gangwal when you need him!
