10 ex freedom 900's go to asa not mesaba

[MJ42]

nobody ever has plans to furlough dumbass...right up until "oops! we need to furlough".

your entire list has caved every time it came down to it and after losing 50% of their pay and their retirement....theres no way in he!! their going to sacrifice even more to fly 85-90 seat RJs.

9's/88's will be replaced with 73's, wide bodies and bigger RJs at DCI.

Like I said, you know it all(at least you think you do). Tell me oh wise one, why are we bringing DC-9's out of the desert? Why did we award a lot of DC-9 CA on this last award? Why was a memo sent out to DC-9 CA and F/O's looking for instructors? RA likes the DC-9 if fuel costs are low. RA hates 50 seaters and is doing what he needs to thin the fleet. RA does not like that there are so many DCI carriers, there won't be as many soon. Please teach me, I'd like to learn from some Auburn punk ass hick...

You seem very bitter towards DAL, kinda makes me think you wanted to work here. Must have been problems with the psyche test. :nuts:

I've already sent the tablets down the mountain for you to live by...you now have the vision.

nope. If I were to be bitter, it'd be toward NWA and RA. I've never had any desire to go to Delta. Just can't see myself beside such a pampas ass like yourself for more than just a few minutes.

Good response! Just what I expect from someone who doesn't know sh!t.

Since you modified your post I'll have to quote you again.

Don't worry about me, I'm as calm as can be. It's just fun to show how dumb you are!

I'm not your sweetie, I like women.

Goodnight.

Why are you on the regional boards?

That way DAL can park W/O 50 seaters and trade 900's for 50's(not 1 for 1 just like this deal) at non W/O, therefore enabling more 50's to be parked.

This wasn't 1-for-1, it was 1-for-2.

Of those 5 airlines, the 900s only actually operated at 2 so far. And, they never would have left Freedom if their company could have operated them within the range of their DCI contract. Just because a company announces that they're getting new airplanes doesn't mean a thing, just like the old saying goes.

I don't really blame ALPA for all of this, I knew what I signed up for when I came to ASA. We're at the beck and call of Delta and the DCI network, everybody here knows this.

If the Delta pilots cared about DCI, this would get fixed. But they don't, so they gladly have 7+ carriers operate Delta passengers on former Delta routes so they can keep their widebody pay high.

I don't think anybody would doubt that Delta management's wet dream is to have a ton of contractors all fighting for their piece of the DL code pie. Every time the Delta pilots have drawn their line in the sand (turboprops, then 50 seats, then 70 seats, then 76 seats) it's ended up moving once they get close to the scope limit. At what point is the DAL MEC going to stand up and say, no more?

Everyone has their Rez O. Lewshun....here at ASA ours is Sweptback...

At least you now admit that the Delta mainline pilots don't care about us....Given that, why should we care about them.....Given all of that....Are we really "fraternal brothers"?

Save the ALPA talking points for Rez.....

You know after a maelstrom of bad news from every corner nowadays, this announcement, as a junior FO, gave me a reason to smile and relive the expericence of jumping up and down on a bed.

Thanks to all you guys who have been busting your butts to push back on time and to make A-14 on arrival.

 

[Tarzan]

The CA displaced to FO are on FO pay, not CA pay....so they lost a bit more than a tiller.

So if as previously mentioned, there are junior guys in the left seat of the 700, why aren't the senior guys getting by pass pay.

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

So there!

And another thing; blah blah blah blah blah!!!

And don't forget. We don't know the scheduled "retirement" date for these 50 seaters. It may result initially in a net gain, then over a period of time ASA slowly removes them from service. Smart if that's the way it works out, perhaps ASA won't have to furlough, then can find another home (Carrier) for those 50 seaters going out of service.

The way Delta worked it with us was all 50 seaters were scheduled for return immeditely. We did a one for one, but you guys got hosed on the deal. So as soon as you take delivery of one -900; two 50 seaters are taken off the line for return. Delta wants to shed 50 seaters as fast as possible. We got hosed becuase we returned 14 50 seaters and only got 13 -900s in return.

Alot can happen between now and the date the 50-seaters are supposed to be retired, which is 2nd quarter 2010. The fact that we are not wholly owned allows us to use those airframes for someone else. I wouldnt say we got hosed on the deal.

That bid we had in for United might come back on the table now.

This wasn't 1-for-1, it was 1-for-2.

Sorry, I worded my post poorly. What I should have said was, future deals will also not be a 1 for 1 trade. They will be structured like the ASA deal.
