Anyone getting jr. manned at ASA today?

[SLUF4]

Looks like there are only 1 or 2 reserve 200 captains today

 

[Noise]

Yeah staffing all the sudden seems to be a big problem at ASA. They are extremely short on the 700 CA side. I guess we shouldn't have furloughed and should have upgraded more.

 

[SLUF4]

I hear the FO's are short staffed also. seems like it's going to be a busy few months.

Don't worry. You'll be good on the 700/900 when they move those 35 or so guys from the 200 ever to you. Now as for staffing on the 200.........

Yeah, and to think that these shortages are before everybody moves over.

Either there's a major 200 cut coming that they haven't announced yet, or it's going to be a crazy summer.

Having SH in recurrent ground school it seems that we might be taking another 2 for 1 on getting more -900's and dumping more -200's.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Yes, 19 or so 900's with the 2 for 1 deal should be coming soon......

 

[Abernathy]

Scheduler told me they are running low on CRJ-200 FOs bigtime. Can't wait till the rest of the 700 award holders move over.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

I guess we should expect more of this next month with just about every line blocked at guarantee?

Where on earth are they going to find the airplanes from? 13 from Comair and 6 from Mesaba? They can't add any more 900s.

The 2 for 1 deal is an absolutely horrible deal for everybody involved except Delta. I can't see why ASA/Skywest would continue to fall for it.

Because they think in some miracle someone will want our discarded 50's. Every 2 for 1 will result in 5 job losses at some point. Right now, look for about 60-80 more jobs gone in the Summer when the 200's disappear.

15 are on order and the rest should come from OH.

It would be a management function. Not a union one. From the tea leaves over on this side of VA. Ave. it sounds like they are going to take it. Not that they are going to have much choice.

(Take em while you can get them, the 50's are going either way)

How, since ASA and SkyWest are under contract until 2020? And well all know Delta's track record of trying to break contracts lately.

 

[777forever]

I also have to ask where these additional 900s are coming from. I don't think that Delta will give us all of OH's 900s.
