Rumors are everywhere and people are angry, upset, and freaking out. What is the truth and what is just rumors, and what in the world is going on in Las Vegas, the supposed to be thriving Entertainment playground in our outback USA?
On Wednesday, January 6, 2010, at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, there will be a protest, or a rally, or a picket..call it what you will , but there will be voices speaking up and out against this great wrong being done to the people of the City of Las Vegas by US Airways, formerly America West. (Funny but it is also rumored to be very true, and factual, 100% factual, I have the proof in front of me right now, that employees of US Airways in Las Vegas actually collect pay from a company in Phoenix called America West Airlines, at 4000 E Sky Harbor Blvd. Phoenix Arizona..not US Airways..so I wondered why is US Airways getting all the goodies?)
See just a few years ago, it was just America West and all these good people had jobs. Good jobs. Secure jobs. Then something happened. A merger with another airline happened, not sure why that meant all these local people had to get sacked, but somehow that is exactly what happened.
First the name change. Then about a year ago, approximately 300 local Las Vegan's employed by formerly America West, now known as US Airways, (still paying people out here as America West, at least some or most of them, could be all of US Airways employees but I don't know that for a fact..just a majority of the getting ready to be unemployed locals..), and then this..sneak attack.
The Pilots probably said it best:
"On February 1, 2010 US Airways will cut its flight schedule by 60%, leaving only 26 mainline flights a day at McCarran Airport! This reduction will lead to the loss of nearly 400 jobs at US Airways alone. If you are currently employed at McCarran Airport your job may be in jeopardy as well. All business establishments in the A & B gates will be affected by this reduction of flights. There will be lay-offs and reductions in work hours. Please read on to learn how you can help preserve your current level of employment."
And why is this happening you ask? Well, I too want to know, and I want the truth!! I want to know where Mayor Oscar Goodman is? Where is Senator Harry Reid? Where is Shelley Burkley? Where is Dina Titus? Where is Senator Ensign? Where are the local candidates that plan on running against the incumbents claiming that they care so much about Nevadans? Where are you people? Why aren't you having a conversation with DOUG PARKER, the man who used to call this Airline, America West, and is rumored to not even have set foot in this town of ours that has given him profit all these years, because it is rumored he does not like it here? I would like to personally invite Doug Parker to answer this RUMOR, and let us make it clear this is a RUMOR, himself. I will not ever report a rumor as fact..so make sure you note that in all this talk going on, this rumor of Doug Parker not even setting foot in Vegas in years or even liking Vegas has not ever been confirmed it is a RUMOR. (everyone needs to remember that when people are losing jobs, home, and starving, people can talk a lot of crap, so let us all take the time to sort out rumor and truth and fact.)
So, to move on with more FACTS: it is fact that for some reason, all of a sudden there is a need for a new HUB in Washington D.C.! Seriously, too, I am not making that up. We need to close down the US Airway HUB in Vegas and kill over 400 jobs here so this really important new HUB in D.C. can be up and operational for them to make the money I guess? Sure, I guess? Something about all the jobs and money going straight to D.C. sounds like nothing is wrong at all and everything is absolutely ABOVE BOARD AND HONEST AND TRUTHFUL TO ME, DOESN'T IT TO YOU? I JUST NEVER KNEW THAT D.C NEEDED THE WORK SO MUCH MORE THAN WE DID, SO WE SHOULD PUT EVERYBODY OUT OF WORK HERE. Somehow this makes so much sense..Mayor Goodman, WHERE ARE YOU?? Senator Reid, HOW DARE YOU?? Senator Reid, Harry Reid, I plead with you, beg of you, to please turn your eyes back home for a while. We need you here, focused on us!
And SHAME ON THE UNIONS! WHERE ARE YOU?? WHY ARE YOU NOT STANDING UP AND FIGHTING FOR YOUR PEOPLE? What is going on in this Country when the Unions cave to the Corporations and fail to be Unions?
Yes, something is STINKY IN VEGAS, and you can read all about from the Pilots here. Please, please read all about it because if they can get away with doing this here, they will get away with doing it in your town too! Only the people can fight back now, with our voices, and ask again why our leaders don't care and are not livid that this is happening?:
http://www.keepusflying.com/ Make sure to read the Background Information, How to Help and Contact Links, please read as much as you can, especially how this affecting this small town that survives to entertain visitors from around our Country and around the Globe. We the people, and the those who are employed by these companies, understand Customer Care and Customer Service in Las Vegas. Why don't the employers? Why don't the elected leaders and Unions and Organizations who usually fight for the little people come out and fight? Where is everyone?
I will be present and covering the protest live by video and posting that coverage the following day here and at AllVoices.com
If it can happen like this here in Las Vegas, don't think it can't happen in your City too. Pay attention people, pay attention.
Just the opinion of a seriously concerned little citizen
