Looks like the dream is dead. Word is no iPads, Jepp cut their rates and the iPads are no longer cost effective over Jepps.
Get used to the 40 lb bag......
Check out this guys article. I wrote him back to tell him what I think of this garbage.

Other than the point about walking up steps, it is useless, and not to mention, most of the cities would have no service, so walking a few steps may be worth it afterall.
Well, this site messed up my post, so I'll try again.
What is plan B if the NMB does not release ASA after this latest debacle of a session?
If we do not get released, I think this is a serious blow to any leverage we may have at this point. It would certainly indicate that the NMB is siding...
An oldie, slightly edited, which is appropriate these days at ASA, all should read. Opinions expressed in this post are those of the original poster, and not necessarily that of any ASA employee!
I am an Army of One (or 2, or 300, ...)

Well, it looks like they have stopped again with the Concourse C renovation, which was supposed to be complete by now. The rumour I hear now is they are planning jetways on C now! This would mean a loss of a little over half of ASA's parking spot on C. Any ideas what this may mean, or even if...
CS guys, how much flying do you FO's do? Is it like the airlines where we basically split the legs, or are you flying only empty or at Catpains disgression? Just wondering, before I commit to going back to making coffee and cleaning and vacuming airplanes again.
Also, are you guys on pagers...
Looks like LA will be pretty senior for Capts, with the last # being 743, and very junior for FO's, most of them 1300-1500.
Who knows, some think this base may grow, some think it may close in a few months? At ASA, anybody's guess is good.
Why is it that Skywest, who's 50 seat costs are already apparently higher than ASA, gets an offer of pay increases and other contract goodies, which further raises their costs while still getting all the growth. Not to mention ASA has been fighting for 4 years to achieve what Skywest is...
ASA/Skywest posts a loss, even once..........
Liarbrecque returns his bonus because we are in dire financial straights.......
We have fixed the bag problems and still lose money.........
We don't wait 10-15 min. extra to park, costing fuel and crew costs..........
We integrate our operation with...
I decided to do some research on 70 seat rates in the industry, to compare them to ASA's current rates, and what mngmt has proposed. Pretty interesting:
Captain Rates:
---Eagle--Comair--Mesa- PSA- CHQ- SKYW--Ave: ASA
5yr- 70--- 64 --- 62--- 66--- 68----63--- 65.5----68
6yr- 72--- 66---...
Wondering.....how come if there is a prelim out for, say, 6 CR7 Capts, when the finals come out and usally the 6 awarded the slots were CR2 or ATR captains, why does the final not also include 6 upgraded to refill those 6 slots on the CR2 or ATR? It seems every Captain award should have...
That General Lee will not vote for any TA that includes larger aircraft for DCI?
I don't know where I get this idea, it must be permenantly ingrained in my subconscious.
So,I guess the vote on this TA will be 5,999 - 1.
Did anyone notice on FLICA, the company posted a propoganda piece about negotiatios. The gist was that ALPA is spinning the talks, and they have posted the companies proposals for all to read. I suppose they want us to turn on the CNC, or pressure them into picking up the pace. A couple of...
