skywest atl base will grow

[trachyte11]

July 1st, 14 more crews, in addition to reserves. Oh boy, this will get ugly

 

[SkyNation]

it will be a regular domicile. to this point, it has been reserve only.

 

[SSDD]

Why will it get ugly? We're already doing the flying out of ATL. This will just cut down on the deadheading and help with the 5 day trips that were needed to cover the flying from SLC.

Outstanding. More arrogant, coolaid drinking ignorant fools flying bigger jets for nothing. You creatures are really something special.

Nice flamebait, dude.

 

[HockleyPilot]

If I transfer to ATL to make the commute an hour shorter, you guys won't take ******************** in my flightbag will you?...........

HaHa

No complaints for this Tech alum.

The Shuttlecraft E170s are nicer.

And the streak continues of more bad news for ASA.

I guess you guys will park in the new, improved Lot 3 too. Just keep in mind that the express buses are for ASA employees only

Why do the Skywest guys have to come here and gloat? I'm sure you're not going to bid ATL, but why make it harder on the poor bastards that are going to draw the short straw? Idiots!

What is the general consensus on what's going to happen with ASA? Are they going to slowly take over ASA's routes and eventually dissolve ASA, or are they going to move Skywest in to ASA's territory then merge the seniority lists?

It would have to be a slow death. Where are they going to get 1700 fresh faces?

 

[B-J-J Fighter]

Where is the email addy to send my resume. This is good news for people that live in ATL that want an alternative to ASA.

 

[av8er2]

Get out why you can.

Believe me... there's no gloating here! Me personally, I'd much rather see the growth of the domicile at ASA. That begs the question, is the domicile/flying in ATL growing for ASA at all? I really don't see the point of having Skywest crews in a base where ASA is already established.

It's called a whipsaw. Sad to say it, but anyone paying attention to aviation saw it coming as soon as Skywest bought ASA. Good luck to all involved.

 

[EatinRamen]

Where are the efficiencies gained by closing SLC for ASA? This just makes it more obvious that Jerry will lie to your face. He said SLC was closing cause it didn't make sense to have both ASA and SKW flying out of there. But it's ok to open up an ATL base for SKY now?

My thoughts exactly...

ASA will be dissolved as soon as the routes can be covered by "the portfolio"....that will take time, but ASA is losing about 4 planes/month. It will likely accelerate in the fall after the summer (peak) flying is no longer needed.

Sorry ASA dudes.....Im glad the bro isn't going to ATL
