Nor did I mention that I was on the street for 6 months on unemployment and the first job I got after I was making $24K a year.

The only consoliation is when the 400 furloughs at American start this Sept, I won't be one of them, but all the red tails will...this will be the third time they are given pink slips. You may be smug and comfy with all this AA73, but karma of what goes around, is about to come around.

AA73, my story is not unique to my brethren at TWA, we were done an injustice by you and your pilot group. Your denial of that and the APA's attitude of , "why do we have to even listen to those guys anyways" attitude just shows the fabric of the APA especially when it comes to other pilot groups.

The APA had the opportunity to make an ally out of the TWA pilots and choose not to. they have a chance now to do the same, and we know after they removed TWA members from APA offices they volleyed the first shot of another bitter campaign against former TWA pilots. Now after the announcement of furloughs, we once again will endure the layoffs.
