Nothing. All regionals will eventually end up like Comair. That is why your best bet is to move onto a major when possible. It might take awhile, but I have 38 years left in this industry. A lot can happen. I am not wishing ill upon ASA or any other regional, but I decided that it wasn't worth the risk staying at my regional.
Comair and ASA's situation is totally and completely different. ASA is not wholly owned and is bound by a hard DCI Contract. Comair, as a wholly owned has no teeth to enforce their Contract (sucks). What is Delta going to do, sue themselves? We are in the midst of the worst economic downturn in over 30 years. Yes, there is going to be some pain. This is not unexpected, although it is very unwelcome. Hopefully, just hopefully this bs will turn around and we can get any and all furloughs back....And grow again. ASA is staying financially viable, unfortunately this means more furloughs. As with most Companies today, we are laying off (look at the unemployment numbers lately.) Almost all airlines have furloughed, ASA is no exception. I certainly hope that nobody else has to.
yet they refuse to die.
LMAO, then Delta will DROP SkyW. and Inc. will be in an extreme situation much like Mesa. I highly doubt there will be any leveraging going on from the Regional side. The tail does not wag the dog.
