SUBJECT: ENSURING THE VIABILITY OF US AIRWAYS
Dear Fellow Pilot:
Today we announced a series of bold steps intended to ensure the viability of US Airways in the
face of high oil prices that are having a devastating impact on our airline and industry. We have
a lot of information about our plans on theHub and Wings. I’d like to summarize some of them
here and explain the impacts on our pilot group.
Our plan is two-prong, featuring capacity reductions and new fees and charges for services. We
announced today that we will be reducing capacity this fall by another six to eight percent versus
the same period in 2007. Also later this year and into 2009, we’ll return six Boeing 737-300s and
four A320s, cancel leases for two A330-200 aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2009, and are
planning to reduce additional aircraft in 2009 and 2010. We are also drawing down late-night
flying from Las Vegas to 74 flights by the end of the year, from a high of 141 last year.
Capacity reductions alone won’t solve our problems, so we also announced today that we will
launch a $15 first checked bag fee, will begin charging $2 for non-alcoholic beverages on our
flights, amend our Dividend Miles program to begin assessing new award redemption processing
fees, establish new or increased booking fees for other customers, and raising fees for guest pass
and parent non-rev travel. All told, our revenue initiatives are expected to generate between
$300 and $400 million annually.
The capacity cuts, however, mean that we will need 1,700 fewer US Airways employees,
including 175 pilots on the West (where we’ll be reducing block hours primarily as a result of
reducing LAS flying) and another 125 on the East, out of a pilot workforce of more than 4,700.
These pilot reductions at East and West were determined based on current separate staffing
levels and new levels of flying. Pilot reductions must be done separately, under existing labor
agreements and with separate seniority lists, while we continue to operate in the period of
separate operations before achieving a single labor agreement.
We will, of course, be working with union leaders and local management to offer leaves in line
with our respective contracts.Dear Fellow Pilot:

I bet you are one of those who thinks that a scab is one who only crosses a picket line arn't you??? You know, the smartest thing you said thus far is you have no dog in this fight. Run with that and leave this subject alone!!

Actually...a scab is a person who crosses a picket line to perform struck work.
Too many people throw that word around nowadays just over a difference of opinion
"Scab" has a lot of definitions. The only labor group that thinks it only applies to workers who cross picket lines is pilots. Ask a union electrician what he calls a non-union electrician. Ask the Teamster truckers what they call the non-union Overnite truckers.

Wrong ...
US Airways replaced USair 13ish years ago when Wolf renamed and painted everything.

Oh BULL!
You spikey haired , back-pack wearing, i-POD listening CRJ flying POS's are the only ones that subscribe to anything but the traditional definition.
Ironically you pos's ARE the scabs under your own definition ... undermining pay and work rules!!!
HILARIOUS!!!
I don't have spikey hair, haven't worn a backpack since high school, don't listen to an iPod at work, and don't fly a CRJ. But thanks for playing.
Let me guess: are you a USCABASS?
No, but I flew freight before I got my first break in this biz...what did you do?
PFT and Pinnacle and you dare to call someone else a scab?
Perhaps you missed the CFI listed in my profile over to the left.
Fitting.
