ASA to take 7 Comair aircraft a month

[wrigley23]

I had to post this for two reasons because one, this is so ridiculous it sounds like a nice conspiracy and two, if this is true, Comair will be incurring mass furloughs soon. So here it is. Sitting in Atlanta today minding my own business, an ASA captain decides to strike up a conversation. How are things up there, blah blah. He proceeds to tell us (with a very smug face I might add), that ASA will be taking 7 Comair aircraft a month for the foreseeable future. Because ASA has the manpower and Comair can't even cover the little flying Delta still throws at them. I said oh that's nice guess I"ll get my resume out again, where he proceeded to preach about what a great move it was for him to go to ASA instead of Comair. I didn't hear the rest because I got up and left.

So I plead for caution ASA guys, I know this guy is a tool, we have them too, I am not implying that any of you are happy over news like this, but man the audacity and smugness was palpable. Anyway I figure if this is true, Comair has a little over a year before all aircraft are transferred to ASA. Nothing like gloom and doom when mighty management says they are "anticipating modest growth". HAHA. Discuss.

There are punks out there. Ignore them and let karma (or Chuck D.) run its course.

Everybody should have something in their back pocket...

This is that ten percent, fu_ken ignore them and your medicals will go much better.
There is no way a line guy will know something, no matter what he says, before the press release!

I'm guessing it was RP? Was he a pudgy dude with badly blond colored hair plugs?

Every Airline has its "Village Idiot"..or maybe two

ASA will be getting airplanes (NOT ComAir's), ComAir will be GETTING airplanes... just watch and see, give it till January.

That being said, ALWAYS have something in your back pocket, stress less, plan a little more, concentrate on LIVING your life, not your airline's life.

Wow, how inspiring.

Sorry we must have let a Tool out of the shed. Please don't make eye contact and move along.

Spud is actually giving you same real good advice. Always have a backup plan. I am getting certified in Heating and Airconditioning.

---nevermind---

 

[Smacktard]

guy gives you some real advice and you just can't help being a d**che bag.

Yeah, that was some great advice. Here are a few other gems you've probably never heard before;

Save your money for a rainy day!

The early bird gets the worm!

Live and learn!

Keep your chin up!

Short pleasures are often long repeated!

That's the way the ball bounces!


There, did I enhance your day? Are you wiser for taking my advice? It's 'real' advice, hope it helps.

Up until last month I believe Comair was actually flying 2 ASA 70 seats because ASA couldn't man them.

 

[samballs]

Starting in June, 12 new hires every monday, or so they hope we'll see if they can get em'.

 

[CFI2766]

Highly doubtful.

 

[OK Bud!]

I think I heard everyone of those on my last four day. What a long four day.

 

[OK Bud!]

Highly doubtful.

I bet there are some freedumb guys out there looking for work. I'm OK with that as long as they are NEVER allowed to vote on anything.

 

[samballs]

Yeah, could you imagine freedum guys voting with our senior guys we would work for free. They would all say the paycut will be made up with upgrade, and Soaper would be happy!
