How to get to 500...

[CX880]

How will ASA get to 500 though? Do you think they might be able to go to 850 if they buy Expressjet? What about Island Air in Alaksa?

And please don't spread any rumors, as of right now Expressjet is not being bought by ASs eventhough it might in 2 months.

I just looked at the N Number registry and searched for "Atlantic Southeast" I see we have 4 new 700's numbered 609, 611, 613, and 614SK. I'm guessing former skywest?

N614SK is former Skywest. So these airplanes are coming from Skywest? I thought it was Horizon? What the heck is going on ?!?

 

[NotTooBad]

That right there says you're all BS. No airline would be negotiating or meeting with anyone at ASA. They would be be negotiating with Skywest, Inc (Jerry Atkin directly) and Skywest, Inc will determine how best to distribute the flying amongst either Skywest or ASA, both or no deal.

Not really true. Do you think that the CEO of GE negotiates with Boeing directly every time they want a new jet engine? Every time a new product or opportunity is potentially created the Chairman and CEO has to be there? Why would Jerry negotiate directly at the onset of a deal? This is BH & CT's job. I'm not saying this wouldn't require the permission of JA, but just because he wasn't in a meeting when they hypothetically discussed something proves nothing. IN NO WAY AM I SAYING THE SWA THING IS TRUE, but this logic isn't what defeats it.

I thought it was horizon too, but perhaps we have been fooled

I must admit I'm rather confused.....

We want 701EV back!!!!!!!!!!!!

We want 701EV back!!!!!!!!!!!!

701EV got renumbered when it went to Skywest. I can't remember what it turned into, probably 609SK...

N609KS is 701EV

Those are ships 701, 702, 703, and 705 (I think those were the numbers). They were transferred to SkyWest Airlines when we closed SLC as a way to try to get us to settle on our contract demands. It didn't work, and cost SkyWest, Inc. close to $3 million that wasn't reimbursed by Delta (they thought it would be). An expensive lesson to learn, in my opinion.

Really, by getting those 4 new 700s, we're back to where we were. It's not growth, yet.

 

[SLUF4]

So we are just taking our old planes back basically. Well that's nice of them.

I doubt that will happen. It costs money to move airplanes around. Why would they bring four planes from ourside to SK and then move another four from SK to EV? Doesn't make much sense fiscally.

 

[SLUF4]

I agree..but that looks like what is happening..check it out in the FAA N number registry. of course, we have a Martin 404 according to that too. it also has the old address, so maybe this is from when we transferred them to SKYW, but they still have us in the database? I dunno

 

[homerjdispatch]

Heard the expressjet rumor again... Maybe there is some truth in it... Inc. buys expressjet and merges it with Atlantic Southeast...Keep the unions together seperate from the golden child (SkyWest).

N614SK came off the assembly line as 10051, and was originally delivered to ASA as N705EV. It was never operated by Horizon.

There are quite a few ERJs with the last two digits SK, now flown by CHQ for Continental Express. It would make sense that it would be Skywest, but unfortunately there's no correlation.
