US Airways to cut 600 jobs (CNN)

[eppur_se_muova]

(CNN) -- US Airways announced Tuesday that it will cut 600 jobs this fall because of the economy.

The Tempe, Arizona-based airline will shutter its US Airways Club at the Las Vegas, Nevada, airport as well as the city ticket office in Phoenix, Arizona, Chief Operating Officer Robert Isom said in a memo to employees.

In addition, Isom said, the company will reduce staff at the Phoenix US Airways Club and outsource ramp service functions in nine stations, most of which support US Airways Express regional airlines.

Citing sluggish demand and a decline in revenue, Isom said that the airline shrank its flight schedule last year and improved operational efficiency and that the US Airways staff is too large for the reduced schedule and other changes.

He said that the airline had hoped attrition would ease the overstaffing problem but that the number of staff members leaving or retiring had fallen off since last year.

1. Knowing US Air, I sure hope they wait for the planes to land first

2. This is just more evidence that the Stimulus is working, The Green Shoots are blooming, and

The Economy is thriving.

Add to this Intel's bullshit Profit announcement against "softened expectations" and a bunch of relevant stuff that "analysts should just overlook", and you can see that the Party Days of 1999 are not too far off.

This should create at least 6 billion jobs and provide unlimited credit even for dogs and cats, as well as several other breeds of domestic animals.

Look, it's time for people to realize and get on board with the fact that the Economy does not run according to fundamentals, real growth, supply and demand, or any technical or fundamental based reality.

Propaganda and artificially driven markets are all that matter.

America does not need a work force of any kind to survive.

Does what I wrote sound ridiculous?

get used to it, pumpkin.

It's your Brave New World of Economic Reality.

Welcome To Hell.
