ASA Getting 8 CRJ700, and Keeping 8 Additional

[Medeco]

let the hiring begin again.


But Delta’s decision to reduce plans for CRJ700 flying in SLC means ASA will cease transfer of these aircraft to SkyWest Airlines by the end of 2006, allowing us to keep the remaining eight aircraft that were originally scheduled to transfer in 2007

YEAH RIGHT!!!!!

They just ran out of ways to scare us into thinking it would happen.

The cost to transfer to skywest was out weighing the benefit it had to try and get us to cave on a contract.

The Hot Springs contractor doing the C checks is WAY behind and losing money turning away other business .

I sure hope it is not true... If SKYW gets the NWA flying, it will be because NWA management is wants to avoid another labor union. It is a management assault on unions. It is very clear that most pilot groups will continue to suffer hardships because of SKYW.

And ofcourse SKYW pilots will do nothing to stop it because for the moment they are benefiting imensly. Very disappointing on many levels.

so how is this different than Gojet? seems the same to me....and no i dont work there.....its just an observation

its seems everyone is eager to stick it to everyone else.......and then call names and assign fake blame....it seems standard in the regionals....I dont see any pilot group more guilty or innocent than another....and no im not bashing ASA.....but it seems that SKW can be awarded ALL the flying in the US , yet not get the same rap as Gojet...at least Gojet has a union now....do these guys as SKYW want it all?

I'm glad that ASA is getting the majority. They deserve it, although it still sucks for Comair. I had an ASA guy in my jumpseat the other day, 5+ years and had been downgraded. I hope this means he can re-upgrade soon. Good luck guys.

Skywest wasn't initially created to screw over an existing airline.

It'll be hard to argue that ASA is cost uncompetitive when decisions like this are made...

It's always been hard for ASA management to argue that they are uncompetitive. This is just an admission that management's scare tactics have failed.

They're competitive alright. For last place.

Im keeping my fingers crossed that Skywest wins the Frontier flying so that we can help do that. Denver here I come!

This is bad news for the industry. Everytime a plane changes registration money moves sideways. When money moves sideways it is wasted. It is not true growth, it is wasted money, in training, inspecition and registration. Sad for everyone. If these were new planes that would be different. It is like marrying someone else's wife. Baggage central.

Let me be the first to say I stand corrected. I thought SKYW was trying to bust the union and take all the 70's.

Let me also say. Better comair than us. If jets are going to be taken from somewhere. If someone is going to get jets better us than Skywest. I think we all think this way.

I think not.

Why on Earth would you think this way?

Sounds like management. When management shows up, I just start thinking about monchhichis.

Monchhichis were monkey-like creatures who lived in the forest land of Monchia at the very top of tall trees well above the clouds. The tribe's leader, Wizzar, was a magical wizard who could conjure up spells and potions to defeat their enemy, the evil Grumplins of Grumplor.

Let me get this right. If an airline is going to lose aircraft you would prefer the aircraft come from your airline? Once an airline has lost aircraft you would prefer the aircraft went to somebody else?

I think pilots have no control over any of this. So if the hands that control us are going to put the screws to us... better they drill someone other than me.

Suppose North Korea was to Nuke a US city... am I the only person on this board that would hope it isn't my city?
