I won the lottery!

[Cowboy75]

I understand that I, as a former America West pilot am holding a lottery ticket. My so-called lottery ticket since winning in 2005 is seeing friends furloughed, Captain downgrades and having to spend money defending myself against a union bent on taking my job.

So please tell me, where is my winning lottery ticket? I'm looking for specific examples.

Thanks, bud-but that is one lottery you can just keep.

It's a winner, why would you not want it? Misery, loves company, you know.

Most people who win lotteries wind up with their lives ruined. Is that what you're talking about?

I've seen it first hand. If US Airways asks you to dance, run! Parker wants a new partner.

You won the lottery, too? Aw, sweeeeet! Me too! Expecting to get furloughed in the spring!

You are GD right you won that lottery! Most of us here understand the concepts of DOH and experience- maybe you will figure it out one day. I think I speak for a lot of us, quite you're complaining!

As far I am concerned, you should be selling lottery tickets at the local 7/11. I think ol St Nic was too kind.

At least I interviewed and was hired at the company located in Tempe, AZ. How about you? Nic is the list, get over it pal.

So you are willing to give DOH to all the other pilots who US Air acquired in various mergers, right.....?

 

[St. Nic]

Nix isn't anything but a piece of paper. And btw I was hired 20 years ago. How about you???

Those mergers all ready happened! Quit stirring up the past it does nothing to help unify this pilot group!

One has to at least appreciate the stupidity of unmitigated hypocrisy...

DOH where, the old US Airways? LCC was formed in 2005 after the acquisition. I've been in the airline industry for over 20 years. Maybe I should be allowed to count the years at bankrupt carriers I worked.

I watched your side get your butts handed to you in court. That piece of paper is going to dog you and it is people like me who are going to make sure that happens.

Now pay attention, back to my original question, what exactly did I win with my so-called lottery ticket?

 

[St. Nic]

Listen pal, AWA was the toilet bowl of the profession and I am sorry you couldn't get hired by a nicer outfit. What you and your buds want to do is destroy the bedrock of this profession -- DOH. Fortunately, many pilots at other airlines agree withDOH as the standard. Nice is and always will be a piece of paper. Sorry you are having trouble cashing your lottry ticket.
