Look on the bright side, Jumpin' Joe can perfect his Elvis impersonation.

Too bad ASA doesn't have any experience flying large turboprops.

Oh, wait...

The best route for the 50 seaters would be one way to the desert.

,and replaced with 700's and 900's.
I could live with that!

Or better yet, replaced by mainline aircraft.

I seriously doubt you will see Maddogs and Airbuses replacing 50 seaters to VLD, ABY, CHA, DHN, GTR, etc....Keep dreaming.....:laugh:

Somebody supposedly in the know on airliners.net posted this last week and I thought nothing of it because I hadn't heard a peep about on here or APC but now that this rumor has come to light it might have some connection...

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]Big Shake Up Coming To ATL DCI OPS (Rumor)

[/FONT][FONT=ARIAL,]The word right now is that there is a possible shake-up on it's way for Delta's largest DCI operator in Atlanta. Apparently, they (DL) hasn't been to impressed/happy with EV's performance over the past few months. MTC delays and cancellations has been on a steady rise with the dispatch reliability of the CR7s going down the toilet (let's not even talk about the 200s). Many, many delays and cancellations due to crew scheduling issues. If they aren't late due to an F/A(s) they're late due no flight deck crew (1 or both). It's gotten so bad, ASA recently fired the guy that does the numbers for crew staffing numbers. What's been put out as of late to recruiting has been WAY off.

The thing with ASA as long as i've been dealing with them, all they care about in the end is the completion factor. Well, from what i'm hearing, DL's had about enough of them and all their "problems" and may pull the performance card. Something they've never done to the red headed step-child that is EV.[/FONT]

Something like one out of every five pas gets on or off a ASA airplane every day, that would be easy to replace.
