Thousands lose luggage on US Airways

Just reported on CNN. Special flights set up just to carry baggage. I
haven't seen it in print yet, but here's the link to US Airs apology for the
situation.

Kind of makes you wonder. I have heard mostly bad things about the
employees at USAirways (sorry to those dedicated ones who truely go
above and beyond, as I know there has to be at least one or two of you
out there). I would think part of their servival depends on them
providing good service to the passengers. Lets at least a few of them
read this message, especially the 2nd to last line.

ahhh....finally some news about this. I'm one of the thousands that
don't have their luggage... or gifts.I only wish i knew thatthere was
some time of strike/work to rule thing going on that day. USAir @
philly was crazy. They were obviously seriously understaffed at the tix
and baggage counters. One to two ppl servicing lines of 200-300. it
was so ridiculous i felt sorry for anyone in the US air uniform.
baggage was strewn about the baggage claim floor, and they also had
luggage piles on the ticketing floor! I was tempted to look for my own
stuff, but hell, i'd still be there doing it. and to top it off, the
employees had bad weather and the xmas rush to make their point. when i
mentioned all of this to the airline that took me home, they just
described these actions by the usair employees as disgusting.

that union is simply out of control. only an idiot would use or even
recommend usairways after this fiasco. hell i'd go out of my way to
tell anyone not to try usairways now.

btw, if anyone sees a green zippered suitcase bound for t.o. please
give me a shout here - my fam would like their gifts. :-/

The end of US Airways is now obvious. Nobody will fly it unless it
simply is the only carrier going to a particular place.
Good ridance. Enjoy working at 7-11, USA union members.

I'm really curious to see what they have in mind for
New Years Eve.

Please give *us* a shout when / if your luggage arrives. I, for one am
interested to see how long it will take them to straighten out this mess.

My friend always sends his gifts via FedEx Ground or UPS, even when
flying to see this family at Christmas. That way he knows that they
will get there on time. Also has a way to track these packages via the
respective delivery company's website.

Interesting in light of the fact that last week, US Air did manage to secure
some agreements with one or two unions, including flight attendants. Since
there was some positive progress, you'd think that the remaining unions
without deals wouldn't have done this.

You'd think that those unions who did reach tentative deals would put pressure
on the other unions not to sabotage the company.

It's really sad, but there are too many people with the "I'm for myself &
screw the rest" attitude.
