By the look of things it would seem that investing in a PowerBall ticket would have been money well spent by comparison. At least with PowerBall you a 1/200,000,000 chance of hitting the jackpot.

Callaway,
I'm willing to take a chance on either. If I hit the PB while in DUB there will be one hell of a party and US will be looking for a capt. to fly the ac out of DUB the next day because I'll be on the Irish open pub tour!

I can't gripe about that. If a new tentative were reached tomorrow you'd probably retire before it took effect since it would be tied up in court till 2013. If anyone, it those retiring in 5 or more years that may be thinking twice about the USAPA experiment. They will be around long enough that it will have more than a marginal effect of the DCB retirement. If they were smart enough to put the extra pay from any new contract in a Roth and made descent selections they could have $200K or up in extra retirement funds.

Bob,
You are throwing them under the bus by keeping their wages low. Look around. Airways pay is pathetic. Glad you got yours though...

USAPA = Much ado about nothing.

Does anybody remember how many times a USCABA cheerleader scoffed at ALPA for their "strongly worded letters"? The implication being was that ALPA was so impotent and ineffective that the only form of action ALPA was ever willing to take was to write a letter and send it to Management.
This past week, Cleary has written at least 5 hyper-hyperbolic missives to Doug Parker complaining about everything from Parker's total ambivalence regarding the B.S. "Safety" survey to another round of shot up aircraft, to a hysterical rant over all the "poisonous Gas" that apparently only US Airways aircraft emit and that are poisoning the crew members.
I can't wait for the recall vote. If you think the Frantic B.S. meter is pegged now, just wait until Kim Jong's power is threatened.

What's that saying? "The more things change the more they stay the same" I believe. The faithful has gone from a MEC on the fpl dole and wanting to run the show to suit themselves to the USAPA officers on the fpl dole and wanting to run the show to suit themselves.

Did you recieve the first mailer, then not get the most recent?
Sounds to me like AOL used a dfferent address list, we already have two examples of pilots left out of the second round.
Maybe AOL can deliver a stack to the CLT and PHL crewrooms.

The guy is so out of touch wth reality, he thinks he is taller than Napoleon.
Oh, and he makes a complete idiot of himsef when he throws out accusations on topics that have him in a delusional state.
"your furloughing as a negotiating tactic"--"Your'e a liar, the 9th ruled we can do what we want"--oh, and my favorite--"usapa represents 5000 USAirways pilots".

And you've been a captain for decades to boot... but I'm sure in your mind your small sacrifice will allow you to rest easier in your retirement years. Good on you!
Problem for you is there are a few thousand here who agree with every word he wrote!!

Probem for you is there are a few hundred million eligible jurors in this country, and not one of them is going to agree with the little lawyer's ideas on how to use the facade of unionism to renege on an arbitration.
