BeCareful! said:Hey, Green -
How long have the gdmned newspapers been predicting the demise of US Airways?
Do you believe everything you read in USA Today? Everything the "analysists" say?
He!! yes US Airways will make it, with or without this merger. People were throwing money at it left and right long before the AWA merge was announced. Money talks, and Bronner and Lakefield know how to find LOTS of money.
As far as you saying: "Without trying to sound like a complete a##hole, you don't have any career expectations as a furloughed US Airways pilot.
Too late, man.....you already do. I know too many pilots who've survived furlough at other airlines to agree with what you and soooooo many AWA pilots keep saying here. Sure, it's the convenient thing to say when you think it might get you off reserve more quickly, or help boost that windfall-turbo-senoirity you're all salivating over. But, yes, it still makes you look like......well, you know, you said it yourself.
Career expectations? Do you honestly believe that without a lifeline from AWA your airline would be in business in 5 years, let alone 15? Furloughs are a terrible thing and this is a dirty, unfair business but I don't think that you can sanely bring career expectations into this argument. Without trying to sound like a complete a##hole, you don't have any career expectations as a furloughed US Airways pilot. We should be fair but bringing hundreds of AAA pilots off the street to sit captain for an AWA fo is not fair, regardless of when US Airways hired you.

Wiskey Driver said:I will tell you what does get under my skin. REGIONAL JET PILOTS such as yourself feeling that because you are furloughed from AAA that you are entitled to bump ANY ACTIVE MAIN LINE AWA PILOT to the street for your advancement!!!!
Green said:Now what were your pre-merger career expectations? Honestly?
BeCareful! said:No thanks.....I'll pass.
WD, I guess you don't read the whole thread, or the person you have read it to you skipped something, but I have never, never, not even once, suggested that an active AWA pilot should see some street time.
Clear?
Am I gonna have to say it again?
Enjoy widebody school when it comes around.
Happy windfall to you and yours.

PHXFLYR said:You know,you USAir types are really getting strung out over this widebody Airbus issue. Most of the guys and gals I flew with in the 737 program had no desire to fly east of STL never mind Europe. That's why they didn't bid the Airbus here at AWA, even though they could have done so years ago. As for me after 1 year in the A319/320 I could care less if I ever fly another Airbus product again. So for me anyway,you can take those 330's ,350's or what ever other airborne Puegueot we might have the poor misfoutune of purchasing in the future and you can keep 'em.

BeCareful! said:The A350 is simply an outgrowth of the A330. Same type rating, just spruced up to compete with the B787. Enjoy it! It should be a nice ride. Training on it will most likely be in CLT, as that's where the sim is. (the sim is convertible, even to the A340, as our options included A340's as well.....little known fact.) Believe it or not, great Mexican food very close to the hotel.
