US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - Sometimes complaining works...

On a recent express flight our pilot declared an emergency and returned to the departure airport. We were advised to be ready to bail when the plane comes to a stop. Nothing happened. Well now comes the complaining resulting in limo 125 miles to my door step. A travel voucher for a free flight and a refund of the original plane ticket. Oh and lunch!

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what's the complaint? That the pilot landed the plane safely and without incident?

get a life.....and be happy you still have one.....

This is prob. the worst example of someone trying to scam the system for something free.... You were mad because the pilot did a excellent job and saved your life?

I need not say more about this subject

You have shown me the light...I'm sorry for the quasi scam, not intended of course. What should I do with the free ticket? I will send it back to US Airways. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Look - keep the ticket, after all, you'll have to book in capacity controlled non-upgradeable Z class (I think) - so choose what you use it for wisely. I think the consensus here is that if you complained after the pilot made an emergency landing, that's bad form (I agree) - and I think those statements probably could have been expressed in different ways. But, US took care of you (no idea why) so just enjoy it and move on.
