I'm sure anyone interested in UAir's continuing problems has already heard today's announcement about possibly going Chap. 11 if they can't get more money out of the workgroups... But what they're asking for is borderline crazy:
>>>The company asked this week for a 16.5 percent reduction in pay, 95 hours a month of flying, medical cuts for retirees and changes in sick time rules that, combined, are expected to generate annual savings of $295 million.
The pilots, in earlier proposals, offered pay cuts of 12.5 percent and to fly 93 hours a month, up from a maximum of 85 currently.<<<
WTFO?? 95hrs/mo??
Work more to make the same pay! Sweet!
Anyone at USAir think that "this time it's for real" or is it just more sabre-rattling?
