What's up with all the senior guys bidding reserve?
 
It's to hot outside and we are now flying to PHL, JFK, EWR, & DCA...I don't blame 'em for not wanting to fly!

You know wha' dey say: See a broad to get that bodiac lay'er down an' smack 'em yack 'em.
 
They jacked up reserve on the 200. Out of the 100+ people on reserve after conversion (only 10) they only gave LCR to like 8 guys. They are supposed to make 20% of the remaining reserve lines then LCR, even though they could easily make 50% of the lines LCR. Should be at least 25 or so on LCR for July....
 
Reserve wasn't a cakewalk on the 200 this month-they worked me everyday. I already had 50 credit hours before the middle of June. Short called a whole new crew in because a crew coming in would have delayed their next flight by 30 mins. I guess they're taking the D-0 thing seriously.
 
D-0

YEah, they are taking it serious and it would appear we will make both D0 and A14 for the entire quarter.

For those who have been here 1 yr or more that means a nice performance bonus coming.

ASA is kickin A$$

Seniority and Reserve is a B!atch, but we signed up for it.

Scheduling has been doing a good job (gasp!) lately. We took a MX delay early on. Never talked to scheduling. They had pulled a round trip and already had been looking for a hotel room before we contacted them.
 
Yeah; at least they are finally looking at that on-time number. I hope the check is as big as Brad says it's going to be in August. I haven't been that impressed so far, but then again the gov't has been taking most of it away anyway.
 
I hope the company fixes the mistake of only ten long call lines for -200 capt for july! PD is aware and is working on it.

Well, they kind of have to, don't they? It says in black and white in the contract that long call will be 20% of the reserve lines.

Were any other seats affected or was this just a 200 captain thing? I bet if they screwed it up on one they probably did on all.

Enjoy it while you can. Delta has once again announced that most of the domestic reductions will be from RJ's. With Pinnacle keeping theirs now, the reductions look like they will mostly come from ASA and Comair. In addition to Freedoms, they still want to reduce 70+ RJs. That could mean quite a few reductions from each. Back to looooong upgrades and reserves.

I don't see ASA growing much, if at all, but I really don't think we'll see much shrinking.

ASA/SkyWest Inc. have a minimum block hour guarantee in their contract. Management has said prior to summer they were bumping against the low limit of that contract. I don't see how Delta can cut us back further barring some breach of contract action.

Given that SkyWest, Inc. signed a "bankruptcy-proof" contract with Delta, I can't imagine there's too many loopholes in it like there were with Freedom and Pinnacle. Plus, if Delta wants to get nasty, SkyWest can always take the C-Gates they own and start shopping them around to anybody who is interested. I guarantee Delta doesn't want that happening.

We all know the MCO flying will be cut after summer, that will be most of ASA.

I still have not seen the proof in the pinnacle 90day deal.

The 90 day thing is fact. BTW, have you seen 9E's #'s of late? Much, much better! In fact, they are ahead of ASA's for much of the month. (I know, now hard considering the # of flights they do)
Anyway, if MCO goes bye bye, I imagine at least that many 50 seaters will be parked, in addition to the ATR's. Maybe a total of 20 or so from ASA, Skywest with a similar amount in SLC, and the rest from CHQ and Comair. Lets not kid ourselves....Delta is going to reduce a large amount of 50 seaters this fall. Don't kid yourselves into thinking ASA is completely insulated from this! Add in the usual fall reduction, and we could be in the neighborhood of 290-300 lines on the 200 this fall. If you are a junior lineholder, back to reserve, long calls back to short call, etc.
This is the reality of the new economy.
 
Believe me, regionals are about to grow again. If ASA gets some aircraft parked by Delta maybe it will open them up to a sweet deal with United. You just never know.
 
ASA: I thought that a 31 day month on reserve should have 12 days off. Anyone in the know?
 
scheduling still sucks. They call out of order on the buckets. The daily reserve list is deceptive. You can find out what you need but you have to check the other reserves' etrip to see where you really sit in the call order. etrip is flat out wrong quite a bit. ready reserve is credited 15 minutes short. I understand that a lot of this stuff is new with our contract, but plenty of time has passed for the company to get things right. I would have hoped to see this be better by now with the general direction (up) that the company has taken.

They sure do call out of order on buckets. I don't even pay attention to etrip credits. I go off my APDL
