US Airways employees' customer service efforts recognised

US Airways employees take home more than $260,000 in "Above and Beyond" recognition program.

TEMPE, Ariz. – Four US Airways flight attendants each took home $10,000 after their sky-high customer service efforts earned them an entry into the airline’s “Above and Beyond” employee recognition program drawing. The four flight attendants each received a portion of the more than $260,000 that US Airways awards to 360 employees each quarter for delivering outstanding service to not only the airline’s customers, but to fellow colleagues.

The Above and Beyond program allows US Airways’ most frequent flyers (Dividend Miles Silver, Platinum, Gold and Chairman’s Preferred members) and its employees at the manager level and above to submit coupons recognizing employees for providing excellent customer service in the air and on the ground. All coupons received are entered in a drawing and each quarter US Airways awards:

  • 10 employees $10,000 each;
  • 100 employees $1,000 each; and
  • 250 employees $250 each.

“Each quarter, our Above and Beyond program highlights some of US Airways’ best employees who provide exceptional service to our customers and fellow employees,” said US Airways’ Chairman and CEO Doug Parker. “Employees like these who go the extra mile provide our customers with a great experience and help us run a great airline.”

Since the program’s inception in 2006, the airline has received more than 285,000 A&B coupons and has awarded nearly $7 million to more than 8,750 employees. US Airways congratulates the following $10,000 recipients. Below is a list of comments from managers and customers received during the third quarter drawing:

  • Philadelphia Flight Attendant: “Very helpful and accommodating. Thanks!”
  • Charlotte, N.C. Flight Attendant: “Excellent assistance to customer during boarding.”
