Thread: Cutbacks.... Have you weathered them

I'm actually pretty worried as well. I think, honestly, you're the kind of employee NWA wants to keep. You started about a year ago, so you know what you're doing, and probably do your job well, but you don't command the high pay of senior employees. You pretty much just have to hope alot of people take the early outs.

I'm just trying to do a good job, and really enjoying my flight benefits for now. It's funny, I never really intended to be in this industry for a career, but I think I'm headed in that direction. Although, in a different capacity, I don't plan to throw bags for a career.

Good luck

Yeah - Ditto - I mean, for all the grouching I do like my job and I have a good handful of letters from happy callers (I save each one even after I&#39;ve lost the little gonk we get at the recognition meeting) but these are some scary times...

Luck to all!

I took a Ramp job part time while going to school. Sixteen years later, here I am!
Good luck to you all too!

I wouldn&#39;t be too scared, yet. Delta asked for 2 or 3 thousand and actually got 4,000, which they accepted.

I would feel different were I a mainline emp.

I&#39;m worried about working for an airline packed to the gills with inefficient 50 seat CRJS. Plus, I see less and less OH metal every day. All my stations flights are being shifted to another DL CONX carrier, which makes me (as a ramp agent) just a contractor. I know cheaper contractors loom...

haven&#39;t seen you for a while. glad to hear your job sounds safe and your sense of humor is not in jeopardy. have a good trip, wherever that is this time!

Palms! Good to see ya. Welcome back.
