Pilots to Dykstra -- We Flew, You Pay!

Posted Jan 29th 2009 8:29PM by TMZ Staff

Lenny DykstraFormer MLB star Lenny Dykstra earned the nickname "Nails" for his tough and aggressive playing style. But four men have a new nickname for him: Deadbeat.

According to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Dykstra has yet to fork over the cash he promised to pay four pilots in exchange for flying his private plane. Dykstra had until January 12 to pay up, the lawsuit says, but thus far he hasn't.

What's more, the four pilots claim Dykstra promised them a four-month gig, but didn't deliver on that either.

They are suing for damages, lost wages, attorneys' fees and court costs.

18. Lauren

The thing I notice is the time of your posts. 3:53a.m. Wow, that charity work you've been doing must keep you up late at night or you must have to get an early start to greeting the phony homeless lining up for free meals and handouts.

What a self absorbed, judgmental, angry inside, boor you must be to live with.

Oh and btw: FIRST, and obama is a black man---you happy now?

19. I guess it isn't possible that this lawsuit is completely bogus becasue there is no such thing as a bigus lawsuit in America,

Give me a break, besides you honestly think Lenny writes his own checks and pays the bills or his accountants and financial managers handle that.

20. I was one of the pilots that worked for Len and am suprised that TMZ picked up the story but am grateful that they did. What most people don't realize is that Mr. Dykstra has made alot more money out of baseball then he ever did while playing. When you a contract you should honor it and it is that simple. I am confident that we will win in court, however I am not sure if we will ever get paid! Thanks for everyones support!

21. Lenny is a douche. I feel like an even bigger douche posting a comment about this huge ego of a man but trust me, the guy is a grade A douche sandwich. i've worked for that family for several years, one thing i've noticed is his ability to talk about money and not pay it up. that and he wipes his ass with mexicans.
