US Airways GOAL: 60% On Time Flights
Published by AirlineFanatic | Filed under legacy carriers
Yes you read that headline correctly, US Airways has a GOAL this holiday season of having 60% or its flights leave the gate on time. Of course that means a full 40% of flights wont leave within 15 minutes of their schedules departure. And that is just was US Air EXPECTS to happen.
This depressingly low goal was circulated in the Arizona based carrier’s employee newsletter as a background for their Holiday Hustle incentive program. The 60% ontime departure rate was one goal for which employees can be rewarded, the other is if only 7 bags per 10,000 passengers get lost. If both goals are completed employees will get a $100 bonus, if only one is completed they all get $50. Unfortunately for the employees, and given last year’s number, I have a feeling they wont be getting anything this year. Besides, I don’t think the $100 will motivate those in the position to actually influence whether those planes leave on time and those bags find the right way.
