CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - US Airways is offering its employees $100 bonuses if flights leave on time and bags don't get lost this holiday season.
After a summer full of flight delays, the airline wants to meet specific performance goals in November and December: at least 60 percent of all flights must depart at the scheduled time or earlier, and mishandled bags must be limited to no more than seven bags per 1,000 bags.
If both goals are met, the company's roughly 36,000 employees will get $100. If one goal is met, employees will get $50.
US Airways spokesman Phil Gee said as of Sunday, both goals were being met with 60.9 percent of flights leaving on time and 6.15 mishandled bags per 1,000.
