9E Holiday Parties CX'd... whats next Bonuses
 

I couldnt help but to read that our holiday parties are being cancelled because, "When you are operating at a loss, every dollar counts".
So, does that mean that we are going to cancel the bonuses too?!?!
LMAO

I am waiting for this!

I've heard that is in the works also....

We get bonuses? Are you talking about our December pay bump because of the contract?

The pay raise is contractual. I think he is talking about corporate bonuses.

Now they can feel the pain of what it's like to work for a regional carrier! :rolleyes:

It's funny how much money it costs to run such a cheap operation.

Never compromise savings!

Does anyone actually go to these holiday parties?

Dang. I already saved the date.

A good move in the right direction. He may be the person to turn this mess around.

Maybe they could save some money but cutting off Phil and Doug's severance package.

No...those are contractually obligated, of course.

I hope this doesn't mean no tee shirt when wemove the mesaba jets. I need to add it to my collection of mug and phil's "check" tee-shirt.

When you are a leader especially with what he has to deal with, tough decisions are part of the game. From a pilot perspective we should not complain that much about this because i went to one one time and there were 10 pilots there. This does suck for base employees who normally go to these events. Menke might not be that popular at first but i think in a year or two we will be happy he is the ceo.

At least we have Pinnacle Points, can't wait to get my 55" flat screen in 2031.

Absolutely. All the day pukes and their secretaries. It's so much fun to watch all those single moms who only get out twice a year. By midnight you can be sure the receptionist will be dancing with an appletini just before she blows chunks.

Actually, it isn't the cost of the parties that is too high. Rather, it is the cost of repairs to the Xerox machines after all the butt copies are made.

Remember the "Paid in full" t-shirts? lol

Ah, so much wasted.

My favorite lawn mowing shirt. Pinnacle needs to stop paying their bills and start recording quarterly profits.

Trenary cancelled the holiday parties several years back one year so I wouldn't get too wound up in conspiracy theories/furloughs/this CEO is better since he cancelled it etc...

Sure yeah... ok

I was going to say the same thing. They cancelled the christmas party a few years ago. no big deal. ive never been and dont ever plan on going so if it saves a few bucks then cool.

Somebody must have really loved them because I never got mine :(

you were going to get them but then one of our lawyers remembered we were 2 separate companies...;)

One of the papers published a story sometime last holiday that mentioned that there are 220+ unplanned pregnancies a year as a direct result of corporate x-mas parties. My wife works for a major financial company and the x-mas party this year is at a hotel, with an open bar, and no spouses permitted. Hmmmm. See statistic above. JSH were you at Indy when they cancelled the x-mas party because of the previous year table dancing event by members of the inflight team?

...........

Dang! I wish I had.

On second thought, I'm glad I missed it. In cases like that, it's always up to us professional drinkers to babysit the amateurs. And it doesn't matter how hot she is if she yacks in bed.

lol that's awesome.
