US Airways Watch

To save costs and the threat of bankruptcy Usairways is cutting flights to cities with high fuel costs and laying off employees. Some of the cities flights are going to be canceled are Ft. Lauderdale and Philadelphia. This is very unfortunate because I fly Usair to Ft. Lauderdale because they are the only carrier that flies from Parkerburgh. They are also lying off around 650 mechanics and other employees, they are seeing who would retire and voluntarily leave. Yeah I would definitely want to leave my job when I most likely won't be able to get another job because of my age. They are also outsourcing their baggage claims office from Pittsburgh to San Salvador. Great more American's without jobs!
