2000 hire Simmons was headed for furlough himself after 9-11. Newcomer Simmons has no problem stealing the careers of those hired a decade or more prior to him, and lost their jobs due to an unprecedented event. Do not stand for this coward and his cry of INTEGRITY. His job was in jeopardy as well. Others not so fortunate were sent to the streets after the 9-11 attacks. Simmons is an opportunistic fanatic he merely wants to steal your position.
'I think about it every single day'
Although he lives in Lebanon, commercial airline pilot David Simmons routinely flies 737 passenger jets out of Springfield.
He recalls being hired on an auspicious date -- Sept. 11, 2000.
"On my one-year anniversary with the company I watched those horrible events happen," Simmons said. "The moment I saw that second plane, I knew there's no way this could be an accident."
Subject: Without the merger, America West.....with fuel prices high and industry capacity in excess, we (like most of our industry) could also face bankruptcy if those fundamentals dont change.

2005 Outlook
We continue to face considerable challenges in 2005, including competing with legacy carriers that, through a variety of restructuring mechanisms, have reduced labor wages, extended debt maturities and lowered their overall cost per available seat mile. These actions could cause AWAs cost advantage to diminish.
In spite of our diligent work to contain our costs, we believe revenues will continue to reflect the excess capacity that exists across the domestic system and fuel prices will remain at, or exceed, record highs. Given these conditions, we anticipate significant losses for full year 2005.
