"Orville Wright said to his brother, Wilbur, 'You were only in the air for twelve seconds. How could my luggage be in Cleveland?'" -- Red Buttons

Reuters is reporting that bankrupt US Airways Group (OTC BB: UAIRQ) is asking employees based in Philadelphia, but not scheduled to work on Dec. 30 to Jan. 3, to volunteer to work for free. What's next, getting the passengers to pitch in too?
