9.7:1 Metal Gearmotor 25Dx48L mm with 48 CPR Encoder
This cylindrical, 2.38" x 0.98" x 0.98" brushed DC gearmotor with a 9.68:1 metal gearbox is a lower-current alternative to the HP version. It has an integrated 48 CPR quadrature encoder on the motor shaft, which provides 464.64 counts per revolution of the gearbox's output shaft. These units have a 0.315"-long, 4 mm-diameter D-shaped output shaft. This gearmotor is also available without an encoder.
Compare all products in 25D mm Gearmotors.
This brushed DC gearmotor is available in high- and low-power versions in a number of gear ratios. The motor and encoder portions are available by themselves (i.e. without the gearbox), and many other gear ratios are also available without an encoder.
Note: At some of the higher gear ratios, these motors can generate enough torque to damage themselves. Any torque greater than about 250 oz-in (18 kg-cm) is likely to damage the gearbox, so we recommend that you avoid stalling the 172:1 HP, 227:1, 378:1, and 499:1 versions of these motors at 6 V.
These motors are intended for use at 6 V. In general, these kinds of motors can run at voltages above and below this nominal voltage, so they should comfortably operate in the 3 – 9 V range, though they can begin rotating at voltages as low as 1 V. Higher voltages could start negatively affecting the life of the motor.

Exact gear ratio: ``(22×22×24) / (12×10×10) =bb(9.68:1)``
Gearmotor accessories
The face plate has two mounting holes threaded for M3 screws. You can use our custom-designed 25D mm metal gearmotor bracket (shown in the picture below) to mount the gearmotor to your project via these mounting holes and the screws that come with the bracket.
The 4 mm diameter gearbox output shaft works with Pololu universal aluminum mounting hub for 4mm shafts, which can be used to mount our larger Pololu wheels (60mm-, 70mm-, 80mm-, and 90mm-diameter) or custom wheels and mechanisms to the gearmotor's output shaft as shown in the left picture below. Alternatively, you could use our 4mm scooter wheel adapter to mount many common scooter, skateboard, and inline skate wheels to the gearmotor's output shaft as shown in the right picture below.
These are the same type of motors used in the Wild Thumper all-terrain chassis, so the gearbox's output shaft also works directly with the 120mm-diameter Wild Thumper wheels (the left picture below shows a 25D mm gearmotor while the right picture shows the smaller 20D mm gearmotor):

Using the Encoder
A two-channel Hall effect encoder is used to sense the rotation of a magnetic disk on a rear protrusion of the motor shaft. The quadrature encoder provides a resolution of 48 counts per revolution of the motor shaft when counting both edges of both channels. To compute the counts per revolution of the gearbox output, multiply the gear ratio by 48. The motor/encoder has six color-coded, 11" (28 cm) leads terminated by a 1×6 female header with a 0.1″ pitch, as shown in the main product picture. This header works with standard 0.1″ male headers and our male jumper and precrimped wires. If this header is not convenient for your application, you can pull the crimped wires out of the header or cut the header off. The following table describes the wire functions:
The Hall sensor requires an input voltage, Vcc, between 3.5 and 20 V and draws a maximum of 10 mA. The A and B outputs are square waves from 0 V to Vcc approximately 90° out of phase. The frequency of the transitions tells you the speed of the motor, and the order of the transitions tells you the direction. The following oscilloscope capture shows the A and B (yellow and white) encoder outputs using a motor voltage of 6 V and a Hall sensor Vcc of 5 V:
By counting both the rising and falling edges of both the A and B outputs, it is possible to get 48 counts per revolution of the motor shaft. Using just a single edge of one channel results in 12 counts per revolution of the motor shaft, so the frequency of the A output in the above oscilloscope capture is 12 times the motor rotation frequency.
Selecting the Right Gearmotor
We offer a wide selection of metal gearmotors that offer different combinations of speed and torque. Our metal gearmotor comparison table can help you find the motor that best meets your project's requirements.

About ECM

Incoming: First international reactions to Keith Jarretts
This enthralling double album is a previously unreleased concert set from Tokyo in 1979 and features Keith Jarretts European quartet of Jan Garbarek on saxes and flute, fellow Norwegian Jon Christensen on drums and Swedish bassist Palle Danielsson. The band made their last live album, Personal Mountains, on the same trip this one covers many of the same vivid Jarrett originals, and is the better set. But you dont need to know that history to hear the bands exuberance over Jarretts teasing yet hard-rocking vamps, Garbareks brusque power and the rhythm sections energy and freedom.
John Fordham, The Guardian
All seven tracks are interesting, but So Tender and Chant of the Soil are miraculous: out-there dream music of incredible drive, sensitivity and, yes, funk. Replay them for the rest of your life.
Phil Johnson, The Independent On Sunday
Seven long originals range freely through intense highs, bacchanalian revels and atmospheric ballads, and sound remarkably fresh and contemporary. A must-have add-on to the Jarrett canon.
Mike Hobart, Financial Times
Die Musik ist von einer derartig integrierten Dichte, einer überbordenden offenen Spielfreude und gleichzeitigen Kompaktheit, dass der Vergleich mit den bekannten Versionen die spontane Frische und Erfindungskraft exemplarisch vorführt. Gegenwart pur. Jarrett-Monograf Carr hat recht. Die Bedeutung dieses Quartetts war, nein: ist noch umgekehrt proportional zu seiner Kurzlebigkeit.
Peter Rüedi, Die Weltwoche
Recorded live at Tokyos Nakano Sun Plaza in 1979, this remarkable double album reveals anew the unique and compelling sound world of Keith Jarretts European Quartet. Having scaled the majestic heights of album opener Personal Mountains, you may wish to lie down in a darkened room for a while such is its blazing intensitiy. [...] Resting in the ECM archives for over three decades, Sleeper really is an unforeseen jewel in the pianists capacious discography.
Peter Quinn, theartsdesk.com
La Belle Enormie [...] Cet enregistrement en concert au Japon permet de combler la discograpie de ce groupe à lesthétique unique et au lyrisme intense, pétri d influences folk nordiques attestées par la présence de Jan Garbarek (saxophones), Palle Danielsson ( contrebase) et Jon Christensen (battere). Alternant des pièces calmes dune beauté mélodique à couper le souffle avec des compositions plus abstraites et complexes, Sleeper est gorgé dune énergie optimiste et vibrante, dune joie communicative et dune complicité des tous les instants. [...] Plus de trente ans plus tard, cette musique est toujours aussi brûlante et fiévreuse.
Francois Chambon, So Jazz
There's something very moving about this double album. It's not just that it has emerged after 33 years albeit with a new mix, it's the sheer spirit in which the music was played all those years ago in Japan. [...] The band may never reunite, so this is not just a memento of a group that didn't record much, but it's also deep, sometimes disturbingly intense, and always involving long form improvising built around compelling themes. In the loneliness of a big city concert hall this release is a marvel and a reminder of all that's visionary about Jarrett.
Stephen Graham, Jazzwise
Sleeper is well titled. This live double album was recorded in Tokyo in April 1979, and lay unissued in the vaults for over three decades before being dusted off for this release. [...]
Featuring an entire hour-and-three-quarters concert - two sets plus an encore - Sleeper must now be considered the first-choice live album by this quartet. The pairing of Jarrett's piano with Garbarek's reeds is an inspired one. They complement each other perfectly, their exchanges bursting with infectious energy and free-flowing invention. [...] The end result is a richly varied album that seems destined to be one of the gems of Jarrett's vast discography.

Dancing with Two Left Feet
This is NOT to say I am shy or dull. At one time I thought I was, but when I learned I do make mistakes, I realized that I was wrong about that. I am actually very outgoing (ask anyone who knows, has met me, from the forums) and I have acquired some skills at being entertaining. (Evidently some people find me bubbly, funny, smart, and entertaining. I can even be a gracious hostess.)
So why do people think that single adults want to meet at a dance? Aren't their better social environments than reliving our teen years? YUCK!
Your thoughts?
(And if you are going to try to convince me that I should embrace dancing--- along the lines of "I Hope You Dance"--- then remember that this ballerina princess is a cracked dream; please be gentle.)

8. Although the free-flowing CORSA exhaust was worth a few extra horsepower, the big restriction with the EcoBoost engine is its tiny exhaust manifolds. They were certainly developed and tuned to support quick spooling of the turbochargers, but there isn't much room for greater flow to accommodate more engine modifications.
You Mad Haters?
XP EcoBust junk
Ford did that omg "" and then what new engine ...????
Haha 70hp from twin turbos ? That's horrible results
After that photo was taken, they had to take the ford to the shop lol
Hunter Hpk Kilbride
Hell ya Kevin Jansma I need that
Jerad Lentz
Also if you make the plumbing for the turbo outlet through the intercooler and into the throttle body as short as possible you will get much better throttle response
That manifold is pathetic. I am shocked that they get that much power out of that manifold. Good tubular manifolds with 3" collectors, 4 " down pipe, high flow cat, and 4" open exhaust that dumps in front of the right rear wheel and I bet your get some really big gains.
Too bad the camshaft comes out like a torpedo
Nice results for a v-6

Ford's need all that power to try and keep up with a chevy and mopar, ha
Get a gmc truck!
I'd like to see proof of that
Jeremy Klassen
Same here George Sherburne.
Ecoboost is a better tow motor than the new 6.2. Put em on a mountain pass and the EB will win every time. Only thing chevy brags about with the '14 is mileage and how quite it is. That's great if your driving a Honda. But when it comes to being a truck it sucks about as bad as a Honda. The F-150 is a more capable truck regardless of what ratings GM gives the new Silverado.
The ecoboost f-150 does not give real good gas mileage but trust line up next to them with a 5.3 Silverado it won't take long to realize that ecoboost moves and with a programmer turn the boost up and I'll really move both chevy and ford are good trucks but the ecoboost is a fun truck to drive but the way I see it if u planning to save gas dint get a full size truck v6 or v8 mpg are not gonna be real good you want a gas saver get a mini truck 4cyl.

Sean kelly I think ur referring to the 2005 SRT-10 that had the viper engine good for 500 hp
Jacob England.
Drop an LS in it...
Sean Kelly in 05 the 5.7 had 345 hp. Was slow and super heavy. With weak trans. And that 05 probably has a cracked dash by now
How dare you share a ford pic lol
its funny how chevy and ford and all them are just barely pushing 400 horses out of their 6.2's when in 2005 i think dodge had a 500 horse 5.7 from the factory.
Martin Zavala
How can I do that to my dodge ram 1500?
IMO it looks a hell of a lot better than the ford not to mention id get a GMC over LINCOLN..that said, i will admit chevy is pretty down on their new engines and they usually wait for others to come up with something new and they take it from there..

Oh William Lovelace!
My big block 502 loves to eat fords especially eco junk.
Dodge motor thats like putting a porter potty in a elevator it doesn't belong
Give it a dodge motor ?
Oh, and one other thing... Ford is notorious for under rating the power output of their vehicles since the whole '99 cobra fiasco with power numbers.
Prime example, off the top of my head, is the terminator cobra. They advertised 390 hp. In all reality, the actual number was closer to 420 or so; give or take a few hp for various conditions.
So, I wouldn't be surprised if this number for the Eco boost is slightly lower than actual output.
Justin Walker u gone need it lol
Samuel Arredondo what's the suggestion?

Small, swift and very distinctive—a Commerson's coloration consists of mainly black on the head, fin and flipper regions and mostly white in the other areas of the body. The dorsal fin is small and rounded at the tip and the beak is small or unnoticeable. Females are typically larger than males.
Commerson's dolphins are one of the smallest dolphins and are found in shallow, coastal waters of the sub-Antarctic. They range from the tip of South America (Peninsula Valdes to Tierra del Fuego), through the Strait of Magellan, around the Falkland Islands and the Kerguelen Islands. They feed on krill, cuttlefish, squid, shrimp and small fishes.
Catch a glimpse of the Commerson's dolphin swimming beside you on the Dolphin Plunge®, or observe them at a more leisurely pace as you float along Loggerhead Lane.
Q: How'd they get their unusual name?
SW: The Commerson's dolphin is named for the French botanist, naturalist and explorer Philibert Commerson, who wrote about them during his travels to South America in 1767.
Q: How does a Commerson's dolphin compare to a killer whale?
SW: Commerson's are diminutive dolphins that are related to killer whales, but not in size—adults may reach 5 ft. (1.5 m) while killer whales can be 3-6 times that length!
Q: Did I just see one swimming upside down?
SW: Yes! Sleek Commerson's dolphins often swim and even feed upside down. Why? You'd have to ask them, but researchers think this gives a Commerson's dolphin the advantage of seeing predators that may be lurking above or spotting prey swimming below.

Airline from HELL
Posted on
This is the airline from Hell. The horrible reviews about US Airway's are true and they are a bottom ranked airline in the United States for a good reason..... well at least you guys are #1 in something. They gave me a most memorable trip I will never forget, worst round trip flight EVER. Booked a round trip flight from San Jose to DC. Had a stopover in Phoenix and our connecting flight left without us due to our flight arriving late, through no fault of our own. The plane was still parked but they wouldn't let us board. So I had to wait in customer service for an hour to re-book a flight. So the next flight out where I could reach DC was at 12 midnight. Had to wait around ten hours in the terminal and catch the red eye flight which wasn't even a direct flight to DC but another connecting flight from Charlotte 6am in the morning and landing in DC around 9am. I had two nonrefundable nights booked at the Omni Hotel, so one night stay $ down the drain. Thanks US Airways!
The next day as I'm boarding the plane for my flight back, they force check my carry on luggage stating the overhead bins are full. As I walk towards my seat, what do you know..... empty overhead carry on storage space! As we are waiting to take off, the El Capitan announces there will be a 45 minute delay which turns out to be another delay announcement and another for a total of plus 4 hours stuck in the plane and on the runway. By the time we reach Phoenix, my connecting flight had left AGAIN. This time had to stand in customer service line for two hours as everyone missed their connecting flight. The next available flight out was in the following morning. I had explained to the customer service lady at the counter about my flight experience and this was happening to me again, you should have seen the look on her face, almost blew a gasket. Asked for my bag they force checked at the gate but of course they couldn't retrieve it which has all my stuff in it so I ended up sleeping in the cold airport terminal in a t-shirt. Thanks US Airways for letting me experience what being homeless feels like!
Next morning after a cold night uncomfortable sleep in the airport terminal, I board the flight to San Jose. I land and go down to baggage to pick up my carry on bag that was force checked and the whole time thinking to myself "they can't have lost my bag too...... can they?" Annnnd..... they did and it did not arrive with my flight. How do you guys manage to literally screw everything up? Have a bunch of lazy and inept workers at US Airways, people should be fired starting with the CEO on down because obviously these people don't care and it shows in majority of the workers attitude and service from US Airways.
Maybe I should just be glad my flight didn't crash and I'm still alive! Once again I had to wait in the baggage customer service line for an hour and they couldn't locate my luggage. Took a taxi home and as I head to my front door thinking "well, at least I'm home and can get some good sleep in my own bed" the realization that my house keys are in my carry on luggage. As I'm yelling out loud "NOOO!!!!" dropping to my knees on my front lawn grass and just laying there in surrender (yep... just like in the movies). Had to wait hours to get my door open.
After which I kept calling every other hour their luggage customer service for a status check and a callback on my lost luggage but nothing, no status update and no phone call from the US Airway, San Jose branch. The next day on like my 8th call they finally track it down. So after all this drama and horrible experience, I spend another hour writing a detailed complaint letter documenting everything and about all the mental anguish I had to go through. I also noted I am a US Airway World Mastercard credit card holder which I use extensively. A week later I get a sorry ass reply saying we are sorry but there will be no compensation, ZILCH and that it was a honor to serve me. Just how did you serve me? Are they trying to be insulting? I sent another email for further review but same response, after all that they put me through, what does it take? I'll immediately be cancelling my US Airway Mastercard and will NEVER fly US Airways again. Will gladly pay more for another airline anytime!
Avoid this airline like the plague, their customer service is non-existent with rude staff. Their flights suck, flight delays are the norm with these guys. They don't even offer any in flight peanuts and they charge for baggage. Even most of their airline fleet is old. If you love rude and crappy service, regular flight delays and mechanical failures, paying for baggage, no peanuts or pretzels then this is the airline for you. Otherwise, stick to Southwest, JetBlue and Virgin who know something about good service. Support the good guys and let bad businesses like this know, by not giving them your business and hitting them where it hurts, their bottom line. Send them a clear message that WE will not put up with this kind of service and treatment!

Mistreated, Harassed and Assaulted by a Flight Attendant
Posted by
I am writing this in total disbelief. I hope US Airways will understand the gravity of what I am about to recount and take the appropriate measures to make it right.
This abuse needs to end and by bringing this story out in the open, hopefully airlines will start taking responsibility for their declining customer service, allowing passengers and paying customers to stop feeling mistreated and harassed by airline employees.
I am a 30 year old female executive who travels every week all across and outside of the country, nationally mainly on US leading airlines, internationally or whenever I can on Asian airlines who are among the few that still have incredible service.
I still remember back in the 90s when flying was a fun and glamorous experience⦠When flight attendants would remember that a large part of their job description is to serve the customer, and where one received the service that is expected in a first world country and the land of âthe customer comes firstâ.
I am sure many of you have experienced the changeâ¦. Service has been declining, customer service has gone down to the bare minimum and passengers often find themselves dealing with rude check in representatives, airport personnel, gate agents and, worse of all, flight attendants.
In the past few years, these unacceptable experiences have become the routine, and the people I happen to talk to seem to have given up to the idea that this is how it is, and that the airline industries decline (USAirwaysâ in particular) is just at the beginning stages. I constantly witness passengers getting yelled at, or being mistreated for taking too long in putting away their bag in the overhead bin, or treated rudely for requesting something during the flight. The sad thing is that this is something that by now, we are all used to and expect when we fly ⦠unfortunately.
But yesterday, I had the most unbelievable experience of all. USAIRWAYS shame on you! I was traveling to Saint Louis on a US Airways evening flight. I travel US Airways multiple times a week because of its convenient flight schedules from Miami. Because of my loyalty and the many flights I take every month, I have received a Preferred Status and am often upgraded to first class⦠Not that I would expect this to mean something, but it makes the whole experience even more scandalous.
I was waiting to board the plane, where I was assigned the very first seat to the right as you walk in the cabin. I was on the phone with my CEO discussing an important meeting we had that day. As I walk into the plane, I hear a flight attendant scream to me in a rude and demeaning way âYOUR BAG IS TOO BIG (which it isnât, as it is a standard carry on size)â⦠Being on the phone I did not realize the screaming was directed at me, so, as we are instructed to do, I went ahead to open the overhead compartment immediately on top of my seat. Here, plenty of space to put my bag as the compartment was completely empty with the exception of a small black bag. As I am about to push the black bag to the side to fit my carry on, the same flight attendant roughly GRABS MY ARM and yelling again says âDO NOT DARE TOUCH MY BAG!â Still on the phone and in disbelief I respond that I had no idea the bag was hers and that all I was trying to do was place my suitcase in the bin assigned to my seat. At that, with the same tone, she responds âYOU HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK OF THE PLANEâ (which seemed unnecessary since the plane was half empty and there were plenty of empty bins between the first class cabin and the end of the plane.) Since I had people behind me who were trying to board the plane, and since I was assigned the first seat at the front of the plane that has plenty of extra space and leg room, I pulled to the side with my suitcase, allowing people to make their way to their seat instead of slowing down the boarding process⦠Another Shout âMAâAM YOU CANNOT STAND THERE WITH YOUR BAG, IT NEEDS TO GO IN THE OVERHEAD!!!! IN THE OVERHEAD I SAID! GO TO THE BACK OF THE PLANE!!!â At which I responded that I was just waiting for the passengers to board so I would not block the entry way and made my way to the middle of the plane where a much more professional flight attendant smiled at me and helped me store my bag.
Displeased by the discourtesy and approach of the flight attendant (who should help make the passengersâ experience a positive one), I decided to ask for her name so I could file a complaint as soon as I arrived in Saint Louis. Enough is enough! And I also figured that if passengers start taking the time to report these incidents, the flying experience might improve for passengers all across the country. After all, I wouldnât expect US Airways to be able to fix what they donât know is broken.
The flight attendant did not like the idea of being reprimanded. So, a few minutes later, while I am sitting down reading my new book, she asks me to deboard the plane. âMAâAM STEP OFF THE PLANE!â, âMay I ask why?â I replied.
âDO YOU WANT TO FLY TODAY OR NOT? she said, with her unlikable manner. At which of course, I said yes. âTHEN STEP OFF SO THE GATE AGENT CAN HAVE A WORD WITH YOU.â âNo problem, I said, I would like a word with him too.â
The gate agent (who then I found out might have been the pilot) asked me what had happened. I explained and he apologized profusely for the experience, suggesting I report the incident and writing for me on a piece of paper the information about the flight so I could file a complaint. Throughout this process the flight attendant was standing close, worried, and raising her voice while trying to plead her case by denying what had happened.
I thanked the pilot for his concern and apologies, and took my seat. The pilot then pulled the flight attendant aside and explained to her that such behavior is unacceptable. She started making up lies and blaming everything on me saying that I was the one with the problem and again denying the entire incident. Compelled to clarify my side of the story and EXHAUSTED from having to experience such lack of class and professionalism, I got close again and reiterated that such behavior is unacceptable and that if in my line of business if I dared to treat customers half as bad as she had treated me (and others, I am sure) I would have gotten fired a long time ago. The pilot once again apologized, told me I had every right to complain. At that point, glad I had at least had a chance to voice my mind; I sat back in my seat.
The moment the pilot locked the cockpit door, the flight attendant started harassing me and walking down the aisle pleading passengers to please sign a petition against me to help her keep her job.
To my disbelief, a couple of bored passengers who hadnât even witnessed the incident as they had not boarded the plane yet when it occurred, found it amusing to team up with the flight attendant and support her mobbing.
Although this made me uncomfortable (after all the flight attendant was walking around soliciting passengers against me and harassing and laughing at me together with the rest of the crew), I kept reading my book⦠âIt takes a man to suffer ignorance and smileâ I was taught.
The harassing however did not stop. Feeling extremely frustrated and uncomfortable, and also determined to make a point -- as I donât believe that a Premiere Member (or ANY PASSENGER FOR THAT MATTER) should ever have to go through such an implausible experience on a commercial airline -- stunned that a flight attendant instead of doing her job would walk around the isle soliciting and harassing passengers, I decided to take my bag and step off the plane. Something that I NEVER in my life have done or was put in the condition of considering before.
As I walk out, the same flight attendant starts clapping and cheering and the couple bored passengers tagged along. I WASH IN SHOCK!!!! I did nothing but exercise my right to be treated with courtesy and respect.
I want to clarify that I am in no way a rude person, anyone who knows or works with me will tell you that I do not go around mistreating people, I am very involved in charitable organizations and at no point throughout this incident, other than complaining and addressing my concerns, did I ever act out of line. Exercised a right, is more like it.
Anyway, returning to the gate I asked to be rebooked on the next flight (which happened to fly out the following morning). The supervisor, hearing the story, and herself in disbelief, asked me to please get back on the flight: âAS A CUSTOMER AND PREFERRED PASSENGER YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ON THAT FLIGHT AND BE TREATED WITH COURTESY AND RESPECT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THIS IS NOT HOW WE TREAT OUR CUSTOMERS, I WILL ESCORT YOU IN THE PLANE MYSELF AND MAKE SURE THAT THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT IS TAKEN OFF THE FLIGHT SO THAT YOU CAN GET TO YOUR FINAL DESTINATION WITH DIGNITY AND UNHARASSED. IF YOU GIVE UP THIS FLIGHT SHE WILL HAVE WON THE BATTLE AND THIS IS NOT THE MESSAGE WE WANT TO CONVEYâ¦â
After thinking about it, I decided âwhy notâ after all I had early meeting in St Louis the next day that I could not miss. The supervisor then asked me to wait at the gate while she talked to the crew.
After 10 minutes in the plane she walks out âI AM SO SORRY, BUT THE SITUATION HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED, SO WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP YOU ON TOMORROWâS FLIGHTâ. âWhat do you mean has not been resolved?â I asked, at that point severely tired and surprised.
âWELL, THE PILOT SAID THAT HE IS NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING YOU AND THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT ON THE SAME PLANE, HE SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THE FLIGHT ATTENDENTâS BEHAVIOR WAS OUT OF LINE AND UNACCEPTABLE, YOU STEPPING INTO THE CONVERSATION WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO HER COULD BE TAKEN AS A SIGN OF AGGRESSION (aggression??????)⦠AND SINCE THAT IS HIS SHIP AND HE ULTIMATELY DECIDES, HE FELT IT BETTER FOR YOU TO TAKE THE NEXT FLIGHT. I AM SO SORRY MISS, PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES ON BEHALF OF USAIRWAYS.â And she handed me piece of paper with www.usairways.com telling me to go online and file a report.
AGAIN, I AM SHOCKED. Not only was I treated with disrespect, harassed and bullied. But the flight attendant got away with it and ultimately I was denied reboarding on a plane I had left on my own accord. I cannot believe that US Airways would allow such behavior, and especially, even though at fault and after being reprimanded by her superiors, she would be allowed to go around soliciting passengers asking them to sign a paper to help her keep her job. And the clapping.
Yes, it is true that I stood up and spoke to the pilot expressing my unhappiness and complaining about the service, but in no way different than any of you would complain about poor service anywhere else. Also, last time I checked, the United States was a country that granted freedom of speech and freedom to express oneâs own opinions. I guess that does not apply to US Airways.
I cannot believe that this incident would go unpunished and that the flight attendant would be able to make up stories, behave in such an unprofessional way, and ultimately get away with it.
I will make sure that anybody out there who had similar experiences or has been subject to crabbiness and lack of respect while flying US Airways, will speak up. This is ridiculous and needs to stop.
Last but not least, this ended up costing me over $300 dollars in Taxis and overnight stay as the earliest available flight was the following morning.
I am confident that US Airways, will realize the severity of this and take the approapriate measure to make it right.
Until then, I will never again fly US Airways and will make sure none of my employees and acquaintances do.

How US Airways Stole Christmas
Posted by
Brian Z
My turn to pile on. I booked a flight on 10/30 (at 3 am) for a Christmas Eve flight to Greenville, SC. Or so I thought. The same morning at 8 am, I double-checked my itinerary and noticed a mistake-- I selected Greenville, NC by mistake. Four hours away, but I was confident the mistake was caught early enough-- heck, the plane was 90% empty when I booked.
The first customer service representative was very unsympathetic to my dyslexia problem and told me I would have to pay the $150 change fee. Obviously perturbed, I decided to call back later once the blood returned to my extremities.
Around noon the same day, I tried again and got a much better response. I was now told that company policy is to make these changes WITHOUT the $150 change fee if caught within 24 hours of booking. "Whew", I thought. Crummy that company policies seem to be dependent on the mood of the customer service rep you get, but it seemed to work out in the end, so I was happy...or so I thought.
December 15th, and I go back to double-check my itinerary. "What's this", I said as I noticed I was still headed to...you guessed it, Greenville NORTH CAROLINA.
I called customer service (in the Philippines) and was mysteriously disconnected four separate times (and had to re-queue for 25 minutes each time!) But unfortunately for me, there was no record of my flight change request on 10/30...so I was SOL. Plus, each time I spoke to customer service, I got a different story on the policy about the $150 change fee again. Kind of makes it hard to listen to statements like, "there is nothing I can do" when you know darn well they can do something about it.
To make things worse, I was definitely going to be charged the difference between the flight I booked on 10/30 and the flights available now-- to the tune of an additional $308. Did it matter that they were negligent in fulfilling the change request? Nope. According to the grand wizard of supervisors (everyone seems to be a supervisor at US Airways customer service, though no one has the power to fix anything) it was MY fault for not verifying the change wasn't made within 24 hours. My bad! I guess I should also be ready hop in the cockpit if the crew decides to nap, or carry my paddle and water wings in case they decide to splash-land in the Hudson again.
Needless to say, I will be driving to my destination on Christmas Eve this year. Thanks again for remembering the importance of customer service and reliability US Airways!
BTW, I later found out that there was a flight to Asheville, NC for $400 total, but no one mentioned that in the 3 hours I spent on the phone trying to straighten out this mess.

Rude Ticket Agent; Ridiculous Overcharging for Changing a Flight Due to Illness.
Posted by
WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA -- I called US Airways initially to cancel an outgoing flight to Venice from GSO.. My children and I had contracted the flu and were running fevers of up to 102. The first the agent was very nice. The next day, trying to complete the booking to continue travel next week with an agent, Brenda, I asked about what I was seeing on the screen. She responded, "Are you trying to do this online to avoid the $35.00 fee?" I asked if, in fact, I could do it online and was told no. And though I could see a reservation being held for me, Brenda then told me that the airline could not complete that travel for me. "We can get you to Frankfurt, or to London, but not to Venice." (Yes, I wrote everything down during the call.) When I explained that I could see the reservation, she went on about "co-chair". I said that the flight reservation was showing for me on both the US Airways website and British Air. She responded that there wasn't a "co-chair" (I think that's what she said) and that it was "airline speak" and, "Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean there is a solution." I again told her that I had confirmation numbers for all the flights.
She then proceeded to put me on hold for over 15 minutes. Apparently there was a solution—as there often is. She then returned to the phone and said she could, in fact, book me on that flight—the flight that, yes, I was already listed on. And that the flight was over 400 dollars more now, per ticket, excluding the change fee, after she "priced" the flight. She then put me on hold again. When she returned to tell me how much more I needed to pay (more than 700 dollars per ticket with change fee and updated price), I told her I needed to check on something before I could purchase (this was done for work; I didn't make the initial purchase, and I still don't know if there was trip insurance). She said, "I've already spent a lot of time on this. I can't wait 20 minutes." At that point, I asked for a manager. I was put on hold. The manager was much more polite, but didn't seem terribly sympathetic. In fact, both these women seemed fairly pleased to be charging me so much extra money. She also put me on hold for some time.
I also asked about medical reimbursement for change fees. The manager said there was no policy for that. I asked about documentation (I have a letter from my doctor's office). She said, "With life-threatening documentation [sic]" and that I could look on the website, but there was no medical policy. So, a question: Would it have been preferable for me to get on this flight, ill and contagious? Is that what this sort of response is suggesting?
US Airways has demonstrated a total disdain for customers. We won't fly this airline again if we can avoid it.

US Airways SUCKS!
Posted by
My husband and I (along with a group of about 14 friends we were traveling with for a wedding) are completely disappointed and angry with actions that were taken during our return US Airways 846 flight from PUJ. We chose this flight to begin with because we were traveling with our infant daughter and thought that the convenience that was originally offered was perfect for traveling with her. Well what a mistake that was! Let me tell you exactly how our ordeal went.
Our DIRECT 2:50pm flight was delayed until around 7:00pm from PUJ. So while we had no idea that our flight was even delayed, we arrived to PUJ at a proper check in time at 12:00pm. and waited a total of around 7hrs for a new plane because of apparent mechanical issues with the first one.
Upon boarding our "2nd" plane at PUJ, our captain proceeded to tell us that we won't be able to take off yet because we were waiting on "paper work" and we didn't have a flight plan. So while we all were waiting 7hrs in PUJ, a new flight plan had not been made?? After waiting for our flight plan, our captain then informed us that we would have to stop at MIA for a flight crew change. He said all passengers would be allowed to stay on the plane and it would take no more than a half hour to change crew. So, now our DIRECT flight now has a stop! So, we finally take off. During take off, oxygen masks flew down on a couple we were traveling with!! We were beyond scared! Especially when the apparent reason for our first aircraft delay was due to mechanical issues! Stewardess assured us we were all fine and our flight continued as normal. While in flight, the captain then informs all passengers that we have to get off the plane at MIA and go through customs because PHL customs was closed! What happened to just a flight crew change and not having to exit the plane?? We were lied to!
Now, it's around 10:00pm or so (I am so exhausted at this point, I am having a hard time at knowing the exact time) at MIA. We have to go to baggage claim. We retrieved our suitcase. We waited for our stroller, and waited, and waited. No stroller. So now, we are carrying our 20lb infant daughter all around MIA due to a lost stroller! Finally, after baggage claim, waiting for a lost stroller, going through customs and walking through the entire airport carrying our child along with our two carry ons, diaper bag and breast pump with a cooler of breast milk and juice, we make it to our gate.
Well we go stand in line to board our plane because we were just supposed to go through customs and get back on our same plane. Well guess what, we were lied to yet again! Apparently we were not boarding our plane because the malfunctioned oxygen bags that fell down! So now, what do we have to do? Wait around an airport yet again. It's about 11:30pm at this point and your employees don't have any answers for us.
Finally, we get some answers. There's a plan. The new plan is that we have to wait for yet ANOTHER new plane to arrive! The 3rd plane is coming from Orlando and is supposed to arrive at MIA at 2:25am! We go from not having to get off the plane and waiting 30 minutes to now waiting at the airport for over 4hrs!
So we are sitting at the airport, extremely tired, hungry and angry. I have a baby that has to continue to be carried around because of the lost stroller and we now have to spend more money on food and drinks.
Our new plane and crew arrive after 2:00am. We board and take off and are expected to arrive in PHL at 5:10am.
So what was supposed to be a US Airways DIRECT flight leaving PUJ on Tuesday, October 21, 2014 at 2:50pm and arriving at PHL 6:44pm turned out to be almost a 12hr awful experience on 3 different planes. I have never experienced such awful service from any other airline. We spent extra money for the convince of a direct flight to begin with and then had to spend even more money on food, drinks, a day of car parking and boarding for our pets. We lost our stroller and by the time we got home my breast milk had gone bad because a cooler can only last so long. Obviously we went way over our expected time.
After complaining to US, they offered us a $75 voucher ($150 combined) to be used towards a future flight with them. That's it! Why would I ever want to travel with them again?! What about my extra expenses because of their ineffectiveness to get us home? The cost of my lost stroller? The difference in cost of direct flight?
Just all around an awful experience! I will never fly with them again. I feel cheated. So disappointed with this company.

US Airways Costly Mis-Quoted Fare
Posted by
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- On May 1, 2011, my significant other and I had a scheduled flight, US Airways flight #3429, from Washington Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) departing at 7:45 PM EDT, which we missed due to unforeseen traffic delays. I called and was told there were no other non-stop flights out May 1st. That evening I called US Airways to see if we could be rescheduled for another flight the following day. I was told by the US Airways representative, that we could switch to the next non-stop flight available the following afternoon for a charge of approximately $15.00 per ticket. I agreed to the charge thinking it was a very reasonable fee for the flight change. I was never told that this was an upgrade to first-class tickets, nor did I request or agree to an upgrade. I specifically noted that we were only interested in fares comparable to our original ones. We originally booked our flights through CheapTickets.com, and were flexible in the times of the flight to ensure a reasonable price for the tickets. There were other return options available at the time for around $400 per person. We went with US Airways because we thought this would be the most economical choice. The next day we departed from DCA to DFW at 1:20 PM EDT via US Airways flight #3379. Our seats were 1A and 1C on board of an Embraer ERJ-170 jet operated by US Airways.
According to the seat plan of this jet, all seats on board this aircraft are coach seats. There was no difference between any of the seats on the entire aircraft, nor were there any of the typical first class amenities provided to anyone on board. To top it off, the stewardess was very rude, and our row was served drinks last, after everyone else on the plane was served. We believe that these are all obvious indicators that this was an all coach flight and not first-class. Further, even when we were boarding, at no time did they call for first-class passengers to be seated first. There was nothing to indicate that this was a first-class ticket. After returning to DFW, I received my credit card statement and found that I had been charged $1,349.00 per ticket, a total of $2,698.00. I immediately contacted US Airways and was told that the $1,349 was the difference in fare. The representative also mentioned that there was an error in the transaction, because the normal $150.00 change of ticket fee was not included in the charge. Obviously there are discrepancies in the original transaction.
I filed a complaint online with the complaint department only to be quickly dismissed and told that I had purchased first-class tickets, with valid and non-refundable charges. This is contrary to what I was told over the phone by the US Airways representative. I would not have agreed to such an outrageous price considering our flexibility in our choices to maintain a rate comparable to our original one. At no time was this made clear that this was going to be an upgrade to a first-class ticket. It was mentioned during the original call that the call would be recorded, so if someone from US Airways could review the recording of the phone recording of the ticket purchase, they could verify that I am correct in what I was told.
I have since contacted US Airways on multiple occasions and have received responses amounting to "the charges were valid". Never was I offered an explanation of my discrepancies with not only the charges rendered, but also the services we never received.
I finally filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The airline responded to my complaint with a slightly more in depth explanation, however it still fell significantly short of addressing my concerns. With their response, BBB has now closed my complaint although no resolution was found. This experience has left me with a first hand account of how big business does truly not care about the everyday working individual. I feel taken advantage of and essentially feel like I have been robbed. I am trying to get my story out there so this doesn't happen to more people.
I feel US Airways should be held accountable for their mistake and that people should be aware of what type of company they are dealing with.

US Airways Is Talented in the Art of Lying
Posted by
WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- So this is my story yesterday, and it is unbelievable the nerve US Airways has to lie so blatantly to the clientsâ faces. I flew with it Thursday and my only bag was my carry-on. For 5 years now I have traveled the world with my same bag without having to check it in because it meets the requirements to be carried into the overhead bins in the main cabin, but on Thursday I couldn't because one of its employees "decided that it was too big just by looking at it." That certainly is one professional response, isn't it?
It seems US Airways is hiring ocular psychics to determine who could get their carry on in or not. I was told that it was too big, and then as I am standing in line to board, other personnel from US Airways said that there was no more space in the overhead bins. I was pretty much forced to check my carry-on bag because it was either that or not boarding my flight, and when I got into the cabin, there were at least three bins completely empty, and a few others with enough space for a bag like mine or bigger. However, people with bigger bags than mine were allowed to take them into the plane. How is this fair?
I am not sure... why other passengers and I were discriminated against when other people were allowed to get their bigger bags in, I am not sure, and on top of that you blatantly lied to our faces first by saying that the bags were too big, then by saying that there was no more space, when clearly there still was, and plenty of it. I am disgusted and disappointed on your services. By the time my bag was returned to me, it was all scratched and peeled. I have to fly with you again on Monday, so I hope I do not run into this situation again.
If I travel with carry-on, there are many reasons, and the main one is because your airline has delayed my luggage in the past. You think you are entitled to abuse your power to do as you please with passengers in the name of security especially because there is little regulation for your industry, which is disgusting. For the money we pay, you have the responsibility to make our flights beyond pleasant. You are not doing us any favors, in any case, we as clients do you the favor of choosing to fly with you.
If you overbook your flights out of greed and poor planning it is not my fault, so do not penalize me or other passengers for your poor choices as an Airline. We pay enough money to get nothing but an uncomfortable chair and inexistent customer service, so do not make flying worse than it already is.
The comments above were posted on US Airways Facebook page, and this is its response:
US Airways Mariela, I apologize for the overhead issue. Weâve made some recent changes to our boarding process. I will be sure and forward your valuable feedback to the correct department. Thank you for taking the time to let US know.
12 hours ago..
Really, US Airways? Is this your best answer? What I am talking about here is ethics, transparency and respect, which goes beyond changing processes. The least you could do is to have some decency and take responsibility for your lies. Supposedly I am a valued customer, I not only have their credit card, but I am signed up as a Dividend Miles customer, but I guess I am not that valuable anymore because after touching a sensitive spot for the airline with my comments, I seem to have been blocked from commenting in its FB page. What are you afraid of US Airways, that other people can read how poorly you treat your customers? Thank you for making of our flights and trips an unpleasant experience.

US Airways Violates ADA and Abusive Employee
Posted on
DC, MARYLAND -- Re: Flight 450 Departed 10:30am on Feb, 8, 12 US Air DCA to SAN
Airlines receive federal money. Employees of airlines are required (not optional) to give ADA covered passengers reaonsable accommodations based on individual need (as long as "it does not pose an undue hardship".) I have a permanent neck injury which causes extreme pain and migraine. Someone bumping into me feels like a hit with a sharp object. I can't even take NSAIDS or migraine meds because they would cause life threatening allergic reaction. I don't travel for this reason. The day before my flight I received notification that my mother in SD had a heart attack, heart surgery, was intubated and developed pnemonia. She was all alone in the hospital for a whole week before the assisted living personnel notified any family. I booked my ticket the night before and flew to SD the next morning not knowing if she would still be alive when I got there.
It is worth mentioning that I was wearing my cervical collar for support to get me through the trip as my neck can't carry my head too long. So it was obvious to everyone that I had a neck injury even if they couldn't see how bad it was. I have literally passed out at times with this injury and sustained serious injuries. I was told to ask the flight attendant to help with my bag overhead. My seat was aisle in the back against the lavatory wall. She was sitting there and I asked for help. She looked mad and said not if it is heavy. I told her it is only heavy to me. She put it up. When I realized that I was just outside the lavatory I told her that I can't be bumped into and having people hanging on to my seat and if I have a hard time with a passenger with this I may ask for help conveying that. When the flight started, with nobody in the way, she quickly came down the isle and hurt me by banging hard into my seat. During the flight the lines got long and I kept asking people to not stand in the way of my seat so that the ones who come out of the bath don't have to slam me to get by. A couple of passengers wanted to argue.. I asked her to help out with this. She smirked looked at the billigerent passenger and rolled her eyes. I said OK then as an accommodation under ADA I need to not be assaulted. She grinned at the nasty passenger (encouraging him) and said "what is assault?" like I was exaggerating. I said the legal definition is "unwanted touching of any kind is assault." That is a fact. She let the passenger stand over me yelling over my head about me and I told him to be quiet I have a headache. He said he's not talking to me. She allowed him to discriminate against me and make me have more embarrassment and pain. At this point I was in too much pain. I was crying the rest of the flight. I went to the front of the plane and asked a male attendant if there was one in charge of all. I showed him my medical report which highlighted the spine and what it affected. I told him I would not fly in this condition but I have to get to my mother .. He said he would talk to her. I told him I need a safe place to sit. I did try moving over into the empty middle seat but that encouraged passengers to get into that space and bang the seat which had the same impact with vibrations on my neck. All this was explained. He told me I can take any other seat.. all in the middle which meant elbows over oversized people and same prob. Melissa had said snidely "I am not the line police." When the head flight attendant went back there was 3 fa right there... kept getting banged into... nobody helping... I asked again. And melissa had a smirk on her face. I told her it is not funny. And all three just shrugged when I said I would write a letter. The connecting flight was fine and it was worth mentioning that there was an announcement informing people not to form lines for the lavatorys bc of security concerns. So why was this policy not implemented on the first flight? It was a security/health concern on the first flight. Oh yes: They are "not the line police." I had to suffer a terrible migraine for over 24 hours unnecessarily.

Complaint of US Airways
Posted by
TEMPE -- I am Disabled and I take medication for my disability. I was booked on a flight from London Gatwick Airport, England, Uk going to Phoenix, Arizona, USA. I had to change at Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. I had pre-booked disabled help from London Gatwick Airport, all the way through to my final destination, Sky Harbour Phoenix International, Arizona, USA.
I got into an assisted wheelchair at LGW, however I was dumped in these seats in the departure lounge, I could not get to the toilet or even get a drink. I was given this bleeper and told to put it round my neck. Nothing like showing the world who is disabled. Anyway I nearly missed my flight, this was because I could mother from where I was dumper without a wheelchair and the departure gate. I thought that this would be a one off event. Well can you believe that this also happened at Charlotte airport and at Sky Harbour, Az. Can you believe it that this happened on my return to the UK. This time I flew from Sky Harbour Phoenix, Philidelphia Airport and at London HEATHROW Airport.. Now you may think that was bad enough service, however things get worse.
While I was traveling from London Gatwick to Charlotte, NC, USA I had to take on board my medication. Now on the whole, the medication I was taking with me was medication you could probably get over the counter. However I take a drug that is in the same class as Heroine and Cocaine. The medication was Morphine. Now the only persons who can carry these or deal in these are fully qualified Doctors, Head Licensed Pharmacists and obviously the patient. When I got on the plane I was given a bulk head seat as this gives you more legroom. Now I had on me my personal bag which included my medication. This is when things stated to go wrong. One of the cabin crew came to me and said that I had to put my bag with my medication in it above in one of the overhead lockers. I said to the person that I had a letter from a Doctor stating that I had to retain the bag with me due to he contents. Anyway at that point other people were now boarding the plain. Numerous people overheard the conversation between the cabin crew member and myself. All these people heard that I had Morphine Tablets in my personal bag. Well moving on, the cabin crew took away my personal bag with all my medication against my wishes. Now you would think that they would put the bag where I could keep an eye on it. But that was not the case. The cabin crew must have thought it funny that they put my personal bag half way down the plane. I could not see by bag at all. Now this is the only time that the bag was out of my sight.
When I eventually arrived at my final destination, I noticed that the bag with my medication had been turned over. Now at that point I thought that with traveling things may of moved. Not thinking any more about it until I came to opening a new box of my Morphine medication. Now that was just about three weeks later. I looked through my bag thoroughly, however over three weeks supply of my Morphine Medication had disappeared. My other medication was all there, it's just there was no Morphine Tablets. Now the only time that the bag was not with me or out of my sight was on the flight with US Airways travelling from London Gatwick (UK) to Charlotte, North Carolina (USA). Because I require this medication and the fact that I could not get any more from either the UK or the USA, the only thing I could do was to cut short my six week stay. I take the Morphine to ease the pain I get from having Degeration of my L3, L4, L5 of my Vertabrae. Without my medication the pain becomes unbearable however not LIFE THREATENING! Now I have had to pay for extra travel costs getting to and back to the airports. I had to pay for the change of flight time. In total I have lost around £300 ($450.00) in hotel charges etc... I have also had to pay £225 +($300-$350) for the change of flight to get back to the UK. The reservation staff told me that I would get back the cost of the flight and other money I had lost when I put in a compensation claim. Well I have sent two emails to the customer services team in which I received no response. I then found the Chief Executives contact information. I sent the full complaint with all the information to the Chief Executives Office. I was then contacted at 11:30 pm, a time that I am normally a sleep. I was again contacted by a representative of US Airways. I tried to discuss with her what had happened. She said to me that US Airways staff were allowed to carry any medication, I inquired and said that according to UK and USA law states that you need to be qualified to carry certain medication. This includes the likes of Herione, Cocaine and Morphine. The lady I spoke to said that all US Airways cabin crew were qualified to carry such substances. I asked for her to send to me the qualifications that the staff had passed. She then said that it was US Airlines policy to be able to carry any medication or even class 1 Narcotics. I again asked for this to be sent to me. I also asked for this qualifications that all cabin crew had to pass. Again she said that she was not allowed. Then she began to be very rude and obnoxious with me on the phone. Then I asked to speak to her manager, I was told that I was not allowed to speak to her manager. I asked to speak to another person as I wanted to escalate the complaint. I was told that US Airways do not escalate complaints. I then told her that I would be sending another email to the Chief Executive, she replied to this by saying " it's OK, if you make a further complaint, I would deal with that anyway". So apparently even if you make a complaint against the person you are talking to, that complaint would be dealt with by them anyway. So much for having a Good Customer Services. Anyway, I still sent another email to the Chief Executive. I was then sent an email from US Airways, this time offering $100.00 dollars. Now this was in a way of a voucher. This meant that you had to buy a full price ticket to get $100.00 dollars discount. Now this only works out to be around £60.00 I think that this is a joke, a complete and utter derisory offer. For the money I have lost and the extra charges I have been charged, I think it is a disgrace. To add to this all the stress an anxiety that this has caused. I feel fully aggrieved!
Now I was just about to send back an email when I received another call from US Airways. This time we went through what had fully happened. Then they tried to say that they had lost all my previous emails. Then after me saying that I can re-send them all of them. My emails re-appeared.... Now for some reason they could not find any fault with their service. Then I said that the disappearance of over three weeks of Morphine with a street value in the USA of around $3000 dollars, was according to them no big deal. I am sure the Federal Government in the USA would not take this stance.
Then I find that US Airways had changed their tack. They asked me to goto the tools management of US Airways baggage and luggage liabilities. They now claim that even though my medication was stolen while on board a US Airways flight, they were not liable. I asked them why, they said if you look at the exemptions, there is a part that US Airways will not pay for lost or stolen LIFE THREATENING MEDICATION. I told them that my medication was not taken for a life threatening condition. The US Airways representative then tried to claim that all medication was regarded as LIFE THREATENING. So if we take a headache tablet, that apparently is classed as LIFE THREATENING MEDICATION. I am sure that a court of law either in the USA or in the UK would disagree with US Airways definition of the words LIFE THREATENING MEDICATION. I use Morphine as a medication to ease the severe pains I have due to my disability.
All I want is to be treated fairly and to be reimbursed for the loss of three weeks of my vacation, the extra charges I incurred for changing my tickets and my additional travel costs. Also to be given as a gesture of good will some form of compensation for all the stress and anxiety that I have had.
Could someone tell me which organisation will look into the problems that I have had. I just want to get this situation sorted in an amicable way.

Damage Laptop flight number 2222 confirmation number cwwdex
Posted by
On January 7, 2010 I decided to take a last minute trip to fort lauderdale, fl. usually I would make the hour and a half drive to the Philly airport from bethlehem pa and use southwest airline. so since this was a last minute trip I decided to leave from the abe which is located in allentown the last flight that I could find to get to fort lauderdale that night. this flight I had booked at around 3:15 that afternoon to leave from abe around 5-5:30pm on this particular day... what I didn't know that the planes that US Airways uses out of the lehigh valley airport are called express because this is a small airport and these overhead bins cannot accommodate carry on lugage unless you decide to carry a purse or plastic bag to put in these bins. I had a small carryon suitcase in which I had my laptop in/ my laptop size is btw 17-19 inches so its not your tiny 10inch notebook. while boarding with my carryon luggage I was told that my luggage needed to be put under the plane and I will get it back plane side when I get off at clt to continue on my trip to fort lauderdale. yes I know you guys are saying well y did you not pull your laptop out... remember the size I just told you it ould not have fit in the over head bin. so anyway I had no worries because I'm assuming that been that this is an actual carryon luggage they give you a yellow ticket which only ask you to put in your name and the destination of where the airline is going. and I figure that they would handle these bags at least with care. anyway I made it to clt no worries didn't even think that there would be any problem at all. went on my merry way to get on my connecting flight to go to ft lauderdale.... I made it to fort lauderdale at around 10:30pm that night. made it to my destination around 11:30 that night. now somewhere between 12:30am and 1:30am I decided I wanted to go online and check my emails. powered my laptop on heard it loaded heard it connected to the internet I got signed out of my instant messengers on my phone look at the laptop no picture. upon inspecting my laptop I realize something didn't look right. so I sent an emergency text message to a friend of mine who owns a computer repair shop stating laptop emergency. later that morning around 9am I dropped off the laptop to find out what the problem was via text message around 1:45p what the problem was indeed my screen. so what it seems is that when the put my bag in the under carriage either they threw it in or they threw another bang on top of mine which caused the separation. of what seemed is the hinges so which means the entire screen needs to be replaced. on my yellow ticket it has no phone numbers or anything in fine print stating what should you do if there was a problem. so then I asked to have an estimate emailed to me so I can contact US Airways. when I arrived back home on January 11 I called US Airways customer service and I was told that there is no one I could speak to you in regards to my claim I can only send out an email and wait to be contacted. I was told to email customer. email@example.com. I got a computer generated email said I should expect a response within 7 business days so I could understand that I decided to be very patient and wait the 6-7 business days to be contacted back via phone call or email so 15 days later no response so I decided to email them again once more on January 26 here is a copy of my email:
I would like to know how long is it that I am supposed to wait for someone to contact me about my property that was damaged to to te lack of care of your baggage handlers I first sent this email to you on January 11, 2010 and now it is January 26 15 days later and I still haven't heard anything from anyone. my phone number is #### and my name is I. mitchell. so I got another computer generated email saying wait 6-7 business day.
here is the response I received on January 29 from US Airways:
US-10MITCHELL-012H7 I and CMitchell, This acknowledges our recent email sent to Customer Relations. It was forwarded to our office by Customer Relations for our response to your baggage claim status inquiry. Our records indicate the following email reply was sent on January 21st. Quote: Ref: US-10MITCHELL-012H7 Dear Mr. Mitchell, Thank you for contacting the Central Baggage Resolution Office at US Airways. Your email was forwarded by Customer Relations for our review and response to the baggage related concerns you've described. I apologize for the length of time it has taken us to address your email. I regret we are unable to open email attachments due to our Internet security settings. Also, I was unable to locate an active Property Irregularity Report for this incident. Mr. Mitchell, unfortunately, all damage must be reported in person within four hours of arrival, thus allowing for a physical evaluation tobe completed prior to any assumption of liability. When a customer arrives at his/her destination and does not immediately report damaged property, we cannot honor any subsequent claim. In addition, per the Published Airline Tariffs we are unable to compensate for computer equipment, as it is among those items excluded from coverage when transported in checked baggage. If you have not already done so, you may wish to contact your personal property or travel insurer to see if you have coverage for an incident such as this. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to clarify our position. I sincerely hope we have an opportunity to restore your confidence in our service. Respectfully, Myhanh NguyenCentral Baggage Resolution OfficeUS Airways Unquote. I appreciate this opportunity to be of further assistance.

P.S. I never did receive the so call email on the 27th as they stated was sent to me.
here is a copy of my response this email:
I'm sorry this was not a bag that was checked in as a carryon bag... I was told that the plane that we took which was the express is the over head bins are too small to put our carryon luggage in so we had to get a yellow ticket to put on our bags where we will receive the bag back once we get off the plane... and getting in contact after 4 hours after the arrival of tht flight would have been impossible since I had a connecting flight to fort lauderdale and I did not find out the problem until the next morning after I turned my laptop on... I need to speak to someone in person this email communication is not working.... and if I need to fax over a copy of what information that was given to me by the computer repair which is the diagnosis and quote I will... and if I knew I would not have been able to carry my carry on on this trip as a carry on I would never used your company... I've never had a problem with any other airlines with my carryon luggage...what's the point of having a carryon when you can't actually carry it on... so I would appreciate it if I get a phone number or have someone call me I would like to speak to a live person not typing via email because I need to this resolve.... and my name is Ms I Mitchell not Mr Mitchell.

I'm still waiting for someone to contact me about my problem... so I can explain to the person about my problem... bc on the yellow tag that I was given to put on my carryon bag it states no where on there about contacting anyone if there is a problem with my luggage only thing it ask for is the flight number and destination of departure and arrival and no phone numbers... so can someone please contact me via telephone or do I need to go to the airport.... to speak to a live person? my name once again is indra mitchell and my phone number is

I have contacted the computer repair shop to send fax them over the estimate hopefully this will resolve the issue and no I still have yet to speak to anyone in person from the bagage resloution department I'm so tired of dealing with these email communications. here is the February 8th communication looks like it will be getting somewhere

Ice core project coordinated by UNH obtains unrivaled climate record
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
DURHAM — A team of U.S. ice coring scientists and engineers in Antarctica, funded by the National Science Foundation, have recovered an unprecedented record of climate and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that extends back 68,000 years. The core is the longest ever drilled by an American team at 11,160 feet (3,405 meters).
When snow falls at this site it rarely melts, and builds up in thick annual layers, which are compressed into ice by subsequent snowfall. Chemicals and gases in the atmosphere that are characteristic of environmental conditions when the snow fell are trapped in the ice. The age of the ice is determined by identifying the chemical difference between winter snow and summer snow, and counting the years much like counting tree rings to determine how old a tree is.
"The combination of being able to identify individual years, and new analytical methods that were not available on previous projects, will greatly improve our understanding of how past changes in greenhouse gases influenced the global climate," says chief scientist for the project Kendrick Taylor from the Desert Research Institute of Reno Nevada. "This will greatly improve predictions of how the human-caused increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will alter our climate."
"After eight years of hiring field workers to collect the core, organizing logistics, workshops, data collection, and coordinating the processing of the core in Denver at the National Ice Core Laboratory, it is extremely rewarding to complete the drilling portion of this project," says Twickler.

• Pendant enhancer of sterling silver, copper and abalone shell with snap hinge bail
• Highly polished copper ovals accent sterling silver in a crisscross pattern around an oval abalone shell
• Measures approximately 2" long x 1-1/4" wide; snap hinge bail accommodates most cords and chains
• Designed and crafted in America with gemstones from around the world
The abalone shell at the center of this stunning pendant enhancer evokes the experience of light shimmering on a lake, while polished sterling silver and copper add the magic of mixed metals. The copper ovals and the iridescence of the abalone shell give the piece captivating color, while the highly architectural design of this piece gives it a fashion-forward look.
Touched by sunlight, the surface of the lake is briefly transformed into a rainbow of hues. This moment of delightful reverie is recreated in abalone's rich multitude of colors, while bold curves of sterling silver and smooth beaded copper mimic an aquatic landscape's diverse shapes.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Please take a look at that and tell me how it wouldn't apply to a DRM scheme.
Please take a look at that and tell me how it wouldn't apply to a DRM scheme.
This, of course, only applies to the US. Other jurisdictions may have other laws covering "access control technologies" and DRM.
Germany is that bad? Is it only some places?
The Deutsche Telekom and some others throttle their customers connections when they reach certain limits but other ISPs don't so droste should switch his ISP asap.
See http://werdrosselt.de for more informations.
I'm all for functional and easy Blu-Ray playback on Linux. I own hundreds of movies and having Blu-Ray playback on a multi-media notebook is something I want for my next laptop purchase so getting that on Linux would mean I could ditch Windows.
And don't get me started on mobile internet...
You really should change your service. It is no problem here to get fast Internet cheap without artificial bandwidth limit based on traffic.But the pricing is ridiculous and you get down to 16kbits after a few GB of downloads.
This is not a Germany wide problem, it is the problem of you choosing a crappy ISP.

About ECM
February 5 , 2004
Karaindrous new album presentations and concerts
Eleni Karaindrous new ECM album the soundtrack for Theo Angelopoulos latest film The Weeping Meadow is on the way! European release is scheduled for April.
In Greece where the film will be launched on February 13th, the album is already available, and Karaindrou, together with producer Manfred Eicher, introduced it at an Athens press conference on February 4th, attended by more than 200 journalists and media figures. In one of the first press reactions TA NEA, the Greek newspaper, colourfully described the music as compelling. With a subcutaneous intensity, allowing no trace of smoke in the surface. Silent. Solitary. Made of the subject matter of sound with the clarity of the water and the magic of a slow, inner journey, laden with its own rhythm, its own silence.
The Weeping Meadow is the first film in Theo Angelopoulos Trilogy. It tells of the fate of the Greek people through the relationship between two people. Angelopoulos says of his latest film: The story starts in Odessa in 1919, continues through to the end of the civil war in Greece in 1949 and ends today, in New York. Exile, separations, wanderings, the collapse of ideas and the ordeals of history. From innocence to tragic passion. And more than ever before, a eulogy on human destiny.
On February 12 and 13 the film will be shown at the 54th Berlin International Film Festival.
On the 11th of June a special concert will take place in Rome at the Auditorium Parco della Musica where Karaindrou and her musicians will play music she has written for Theo Angelopoulos films, including Voyage to Cythera, The Beekeeper, Landscape in the Mist, The Suspended Step of the Stork, Ulysses Gaze, Eternity and a Day and, for the first time outside Greece, The Weeping Meadow. Eleni Karaindrou is also currently preparing for a series of concerts at Megaron, the Athens Concert Hall in the months ahead.
The Weeping Meadow is Eleni Karaindrous sixth ECM recording. It follows Music for Films (ECM 1429), The Suspended Step of the Stork (ECM 1456), Ulyssess Gaze (ECM New Series 1570), Eternity and a Day (ECM New Series 1692) and Trojan Women (ECM New Series 1810).

What does API mean?
A growing number of destination countries oblige the airlines that fly to them to transmit passenger data before an aircraft lands in one of them. Usually, these legal regulations encompass the transmission of data on the passengers' identity and travel documents (passport, visa).
As a rule, an airline does not have these data, so it must collect them shortly before an aircraft departs, which increasingly is being done by means of the so-called 'machine-readable zone' in the new travel documents.
Collection of the data is done solely for immediate transmission to the authorities of the destination country.
Extension of the API obligation in the European Union is planned over the next few years.
Supplementing of API data in the case of Canada
In addition, Canadian law obliges airlines that fly to the country to supplement the data transmitted within the framework of API by those stored in certain fields of the reservation record (PNR) of the passengers involved. Canada and the European Union concluded an agreement to implement this legally prescribed transmission.
The European Union's supervisory authorities for data protection confirmed that the data transmission provided for in this agreement was compatible with EU data protection regulations.
The agreed content of the reservation record (as far as it is available) has been transmitted since the end of April 2006 as a supplement to the standard API data.

Champion & Skin Sale: Jailbreak!
The deep, unsettling howl of sirens echo in the distance. Unmistakable by any citizen of Noxus, the alarms can only mean one thing: prisoners have escaped Noxian detention.
The brush rustles and parts slightly, revealing Destinys barrel.
Plan? Yeah, we got a plan. Step one is gettin the hell out of here. We gave em the slip for now, but those Noxus dogs will come sniffin around for us sooner or later. Youve got from November 27 to November 30 to take advantage of our mischief-makin before we skedaddle out of Noxian territory. Keep your eyes open, summoner. Noxus dont take prisoners. Well, cept for us, I reckon.
not bad might get varus now
Jailbreak Graves is selling himself.
The Skin Sale Checklist (Post Update for 11/26/2012)
Originally Created by Shingo Monster.
Edited and Modified by Coreporeal.
This post has been created to inform potential skin buyers of the possibility of recently released skins that may be featured in an upcoming sale. Newly released skins may go on sale as early as three months after public release; however, this is all subject to change. With the exception of Limited-Edition and Legendary-status skins, every skin released before May 28th has received a sale prior to the latest skin sale announcement, or has been placed in the "unofficial" skin sale Blacklist. The next sale may contain at least 1 skin from the list below.
■ May 28: Sad Robot Amumu (975 RP), Darkflame Shyvana (975 RP).
■ May 30: Glaive Warrior Pantheon (975 RP).
■ June 06: Soul Reaver Draven (975 RP).
■ July 07: Full Metal Jayce (975 RP).
■ July 09: Panda Teemo, (975 RP), Augmented Singed (975 RP).
■ July 11: Glacial Malphite (975 RP), Foxfire Ahri (975 RP).
■ July 13: Scorched Earth Xerath (975 RP), Infernal Alistar (975 RP).
■ July 19: Mythic Cassiopeia (975 RP).
■ July 24: Wildfire Zyra (975 RP), Muay Thai Lee Sin (975 RP).
■ July 27: Rageborn Mundo (975 RP).
■ Aug. 07: Dark Valkyrie Diana (975 RP).
■ Aug. 16: Full Metal Rammus (975 RP).
■ Aug. 21: Headhunter Rengar (975 RP).
All skins not listed here have been placed on sale before, are currently on sale now or have just been announced to be going on sale in a couple of days. The only exceptions to these rules are either Limited-Edition or Legendary-status skins. "Blacklisted" skins are still eligible for skin sales.
With this in mind, it is advisable that you don't buy these skins unless you really want them NOW. (If that's the case, don't complain if you bought it and it happens to go on sale shortly afterwards).
Riot's "Unofficial" Skin Sale Blacklist
Section created by Coreporeal
These are the only skins that have been absent from any sales since their introduction during Season 2. Skins to be considered to be "blacklisted" have been released to the public for more than six months, and as of yet have not been featured on a sale. The reason for this is, as of yet, unknown.
Listed from the oldest to the most recent.
■ Jan. 10th, 2012: Dragonblade Talon (975 RP), Guqin Sona (975 RP), Jade Dragon Wukong (975 RP), Dragon Fist Lee Sin (975 RP).

How to get a Champ's skin (w/screenshots) by EmissaryShadow.
EncasedShadow (at one point, a Riot employee himself) started this thread listing all champion skins, links to their in-game screenshots, and availability of the skins, as well as how they may be acquired. He currently keeps updating the thread via his alternate account, EmmisaryShadow. :)
Champion Rotation Info Thread by MistressHel.
Like a new skin... for a champion you've never played before? Wish you could test said champ before committing to a purchase? You could try it out when that champ gets placed in the free-week rotation.
Well, when will that happen, if it hasn't already? For that question, MistressHel's "Champion Rotation Info Thread" might have just the answer you seek. And if it doesn't, it may give you an idea as to when it might go into the free-week rotation.
Who knows? It couldn't hurt to look, now could it? ;)
Champion Sales History take #2 by Aestrivex.
Skins are always nice, but they can't be bought without purchasing the champion first. But what happens when that Champion you want costs a little too much in IP? An option is to wait for its RP sale.
Aestrivex is currently updating the thread regarding past Champion sales (which was first made by Eat Orange Be K), and has been doing a good job at keeping it up-to-date. Wait a minute... If Eat Orange got replaced by Aestrivex, does that mean I'll be replaced soon? :eek:
Champion Sales Thread by Woogan.
Woogan has gone ahead and created a Champion sales history thread on the EUW server. In case Aestrivex is not updating his thread, Woogan may be able to help out.
At least, that's the way it's supposed to be, right? :rolleyes:
Skin Sales Super-Thread by Coreporeal.
Have you ever looked at a skin sale and wondered, "Has my favorite champion skin ever gone on sale?"
Well, my Skin Sale Super-Thread may just answer that question, as it contains an extensive list of past skin sales, so you may formulate an idea as to when it may just go back on sale again. :o
All Skin Sales List by TheReap3r.
Want a little European flavor added to your search for your favorite skin's past sales? Moving to the EU servers and don't want to deal with the NA servers in any way, shape, or form? TheReap3r's got you covered in his thread, which follows a similar principle as mine, only that it's found in EU West forums.
But please, don't leave our server. We'll miss you! :(

ECM New Series 2197
Order CD
An album that bridges musical worlds, with the
Molto Adagio
of Samuel Barbers String Quartet No. 1 offered as tonal terra firma between György Ligetis restlessly shifting first and second quartets. Mid-20th century, Barber and Ligeti would have been considered aesthetic opposites. Ligeti was all about leaving what for Barber was solid home, Paul Griffiths notes in the liner text. From a contemporary perspective both composers are voices from the past, their present-day relevance emphasised in these committed performances. Physically actualized in the recording, the music is being all the time remade by the performers searching for what a motif can convey and finding an abundance of expressive contours in Ligetis quartets as much as in Barbers. The gesture of lament is common to both. The first of the recordings heard on this album was made in 2007 on the first anniversary of Ligetis death, Hungarys foremost string quartet paying tribute to the great innovator of modern Hungarian music. The 2011 recording of the second Ligeti quartet documents also a change in the line-up of András Kellers ensemble, with Zsófia Környei, widely considered one of the outstanding violinists of her generation, replacing long-serving Keller Quartett member János Pilz.
