You do that. I think I'll go with "hired not acquired" sticker.

While AS had a contract and slightly better rates, it definitely wasn’t a jackpot. If Vx did win the lottery, it was off a $1 scratcher, not Mega Millions.
The "jackpot" has to do with the new pay rates and total compensation. Did the VX pilots score? Yeah, big time. There are no Mega Million airline careers as we all know. It wasn't too long ago that the big boys started making decent money. The pendulum is constantly swinging. It's great that you've moved on to greener pastures but remember, when the pendulum swings the other way, the big boys go down harder. Let's all hope that the pendulum doesn't swing too far.
