What lottery in hell did I win?

So do you feel like you “won the merger lottery”?

I mean I don't want to tell you how to run your life, but maybe you should venture out of the PNW sometime. It really is better out there.

I think we can count you as an automatic yes for whatever garbage comes out.

I see you suffer from lack of reading comprehension. I didn’t win the lottery, the whiny pilots from the airline we bought did and they can’t handle it. I mean it wasn’t the mega millions, but it was better than being on the street. Any of them could have left and gone somewhere else before, during, and after the merger. They didn’t. All they do is complain.

BTW I work zero days a month. I am on LTD. Of all the things wrong with our contract (like everything) our disability is the only thing we got right and I am thankful for that.

So VX future was be heroically rescued by ALK(aka winning lottery) or go bankrupt and all pilots be on street? I didn't get that memo. I thought multiple airlines were bidding on VX but you must be more in the know.

VX was never going out of business. Never in danger of it. And the arranged marriage to JetBlue was disrupted at the last minute by the panicky airline from Seattle. Once you venture outside of your small bubble and see a bigger picture, you'd realize that this place isn't the win you think it is.

On that we agree. The best option for working at this place is not working at all.
