ASA Getting 8 CRJ700, and Keeping 8 Additional

[rtmcfi]

That statement carries more weight than most can imagine, should be announcements for some significant expansion and taking on aircraft from the DAL RFP was streaching things too thin.

I dunno CFIT, you said OO was getting all 12 of the Comair Jets. Your source is slipping....

Or, like the rest of us, he just makes stuff up and leads everybody into beliving it! :smash:

They told Skywest pilots a month ago those aircraft were going to ASA. They also told them that most of the Delta RFP flying had already being awarded to Skywest Inc. According to the Skywest guys Delta is getting rid of Mesa and they have been told that ASA is getting 30 CRJ-200's to open up a base in Orlando to replace Freedom. You heard it here first.

Just announced. Sorry Comair. It's a shame to see things like this happening.

But, NOT sorry SkyWest, you didn't deserve our 700s.

To Clarify, we are getting 8 (out of the 12) Comair CRJ 700s, and keeping 8 of the ones slated to go to SKYW.

You ungrateful bastar d. Didn't deserve your 700's. The money that I worked for bought your airline and stopped your airline from either going bankrupt or being bought by mesa. I don't want to fly "your" airplanes, but how bout a little grattitude. You don't "deserve" anything.

Yes, because your job as a pilot enabled SkyWest, Inc. to purchase ASA.

Maybe if you work a bit harder next year Jerry can buy UPS.

Don't you mean the money that you saved for uncle Jerry.

Oh and showing grattitude....that is funny right there.

Last time I checked a holding company bought ASA, not Skywest Airlines. So do you work for the airline or the holding company?

I think Jerry finally gave up on the union busting. I am very proud of the ASA pilot group for standing tall and not selling out. It looks like it is paying off.

Skaff,

As a former SkyWest pilot, one that undoubtedly worked at SkyWest much longer than you have and would have helped to contribute much more to buying ASA, I'm telling you that you don't have a clue about what you're talking about. Who is to say what would have happened to ASA if SKyWest hadn't bought them? Its all a big game played by management and you (SkyWest and ASA) are the pawns. Your brothers at ASA are your best bet to securing favorable pay increases and schedules and you should stand with them, not rip them apart with posts that drip utter stupidity as yours did.

I rest my rant.

Regional aspirations...

You spent 10 years at SkyWest and now your at southwalmartWest? Stick to your lcc walmart carrier threads. Delta, United, and all the other real Airlines wouldn't be in such a pickle if it weren't for trailer park wn undercutting everyone in the early 90's. wn started the slide. Delta and the rest do what they can to remedy the slide. Brothers at ASA? I have two blood brothers and I don't go to church with anyone from ASA.

ASA was a mere hardsale from Delta. SkyWest wanted gates and contracts and ASA happenend to be slung in the purchase. ASA can keep their filthy 70's and go back to Hotlanta. Skywest can keep the underpaid 76 seat lcc's out of Hotlanta. Who here wants REGIONAL aspirations for the next 30 plus years???
