All ASA 50s going to MEM Base?

[waterskier]

Heard this rumor yesterday....
MEM open this fall, all 50s based there, some of the flying goes through ATL, the rest done by turbo props from other regionals... Mesa, Colugan...
Only 700 & 900 left based in ATL....

Uh....Did you hear this rumor from the guy at the Wendys counter?

 

[Cpt Oveur]

Small 50 base will remain in ATL.

 

[jetracer5]

I hope not.. I might start looking for new employment

This rumor is believable. Routes outta ATL are too short for 50 seat jets

 

[Plainsman]

This rumor is true. Routes outta ATL are too short for 50 seat jets

And Memphis routes are not?

 

[777forever]

And Memphis routes are not?

Short but not as bad as ATL

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

That had potential to be funny, but wasn't.

It was funny to some, and not to others. Sadly, it is a true statement with high gas prices. You had potential to be a factual commentator, but now it doesn't look too good.

I see a 20+ 2 for 1 trade before this. It would ameliorate our staffing pains too.

No one would be able to show up for work. The whole thing would crumble. not to mention, many pilots would leave ASA. With hiring already beginning, this would kill staffing and the airline. Bad timing. And delta needs to cut the crap.
