An Important Message from President Scott Kirby
Oct. 2, 2009
Dear Fellow Employees:
At our last State of the Airline employee meeting (July 2009), Doug shared with all of you that we would be exploring the possibility of selling our 25 Embraer190 aircraft. I am writing today to let you know tht we are close to finalizing an agreement to sell ten of these aircraft to another carrier.While this is the right move for our company, it will impact some of our co-workers and that is a decision none of us makes easily. Even though the airline industry is beginning to see improvement in the business environment, our industry is a long way from returning to sustainable profitability. The revenue environment remains challenging and the E-190 capacity presents the only flexibility we have to further reduce capacity to right size supply with demand.
Because we wanted to keep all employees informed about the status of the E-190 fleet, we wanted to let you know where this stands today. Removing ten E-190s from our fleet will reduce flying and have an impact on staffing levels in a number of employee groups and locations. We are still working on the revised schedule and will announce changes as soon as we know them. We realize that people need to know what is happening and how it may impact their lives, and we are committed to getting you that information as soon as we have firm answers to all of the questions you might have.These are challenging times, but these are the necessary and right steps to take for our airline. We feel very good about the airline we are running (first in on-time among the network carriers year to date) and I thank all of you for delivering every day on our goals. As we continue to run a great airline, and in spite of the uncertainty of the economic challenges, the best thing for all of us to do is remain focused on is doing our best to take care of our customers and continue running one of the industry’s on-time performing
airlines.

Scott

Bet republic gets a message out about 10 additional 190's and Frontier puts one out about losing 10 A320's. Any bets?
 
Would the most popular restaurant in town remove tables in order to keep the wait line just as long?

Why doesn't US try to become the most popular airline instead of justifying shrinking to meet their ever-decreasing popularity?
 
Interesting. There's been a rumor floating around B6 lately about 9 additional E190s in 2010. Coincidence? My guess would be it's most likely RAH.

Sad news!

("it" will start any moment....)
 
I smell a strong arm tactic by the Co.
USAPA drops the grievance on the small jet issue AND the LOA 93 wage snap-back, and US gets A-320s from Frontier to replace the outgoing airframes...Classic and VERY predictable.

I agree. I would bet good money it's RAH. I think the remaining 15 190's will go soon in my opinion. I think US Air is dying and as it does it will sell what it can.
