ASA to recall furloughs

[IFLYASA]

​

"Over the past two-and-a-half years, Atlantic Southeast people have worked tirelessly to build our airline up as a reliable and strong carrier that is ready for growth when new opportunities arise. I’m happy to share with you today that we will be adding four Delta Connection CRJ700 aircraft to our fleet this summer, allowing us to recall 42 of our furloughed pilots in June."

Things are finally looking up!

That is awesome news! Congrats! Any idea where these aircraft are coming from?

Upgrades too. Looks like some people are going to get off reserve. Nice to hear good news for a change.

Anyone know what number the most senior furloughed pilot is?

If the bypass info is correct, 1580.

However, I know of one within that group who has a pretty good gig right now but hasn't put in a bypass for whatever reason.

Comair

Comair

Any official source? I do agree it is a likely source, they wouldn't transfer aircraft from Skywest to ASA, and there is no other CRJ-700 carrier within DCI to acquire them from. I guess ASA isn't getting there 900s then.

I guess ASA isn't getting there 900s then.

Who cares. the CRJ7 is just as shiny as the 9 and when you're inside you cant tell the difference. Congrats to the ASA furloughed. But too bad for the Comair pilots.

Comair is recalling one 100.

Someone call EOD.


I am really excited that guys are coming back so I will be getting a chance to fly the -9- I imagine.

They are recalling 100 not one 100. I am very curious as to how many go back considering they were screwed so badly by the company, would they be willing to go back for more? I'm guessing yes.

Whatevar. This is flightinfo, there are no extra points for splelling and grammEr sir. You cannot loose!~

I feel like Lebowski when the cops found his stolen car...

This finally fizzled off when most regionals furloughed their junior guys, so please don't start this -9- business again. Do you now fly the 2, or the 7? Why would you call it the 9?

Is this supposed to be a joke? Just as "shiny as the 9?" Wow, SJS is still very much alive. Oh, and the "9" moniker is for the DC 9, not an RJ.

I hope these planes aren't shifted from Comair. They've been screwed enough.

They came from horizon...

Ask me my source and I'll tell you "your mom"
