The word is out...CR7 reserve at ASA

[Medeco]

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.

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?

Nope, 11 days off every month.

Regular pilots get the 12 off, reserve always only get 11...used to be 10.

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.

Your so optimistic!

Like I said, we signed up for this gig.

Less lines, junior pilot= more time at home riding my bikes.

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