ASA 900s to start early...

[Smacktard]

No new threads on ASA today? What's FI coming to? Anywho, ASA to start operating the 900's March 2 with first delivery this month, that's 2 months earlier than announced...

 

[Browntothebone]

The 9 will look good in ASA colors.

Why? Because all the passengers will hork up their lunch right before stepping on board?

Well...that too I guess....

The projected lines for the summer looks like the 900s will add quite a bit of extra flying. Projected 182 FO lines in July vs. 134 in Feb's bid package.

Anyone know what cities will be served by the 900's coming to ASA?

I'm fairly confident ATL will be one.

We'll be announcing 10 daily flights with the 900's to MCN. We gotta get that market back from those Caravan and Navajo sluts!

I didn't realize that ASA was starting to fly the original RJ.

[JumpersAway]

Watch this- ASA will totally botch the displacements and foul things up like they did in the fall. All this will be done in preperation for the arriving 900's. Something tells me this is going to turn into a giant mess...............again.

[Headfake14]

what is the pay rate for it...I don't know what your new contract has. When I was there, the old one just had 50/ATR and 70 scales.

I hope you guys have an override or something for the -900.

 

[Headfake14]

oops...

and the 120...how could I forget that oldie but goldie

 

[OCP]

Nope... 700/900 same rate.

NWA reverse thrust pushback on "the 9"

So will the arrival of the 900s affect the furloughes?

Good luck all, hope you get back soon!

 

[79%N1]

No. The staffing level is now set including the addition of 10 900's. If ASA does not find more flying, or especially find homes for the 20 200's we will eliminate in '10, the furloughs will be out for a long while, unfortunately.

The last contract included 70-76 seats.

What makes you guys think these airplanes are actually going to show up? Being that you're the 5th supposed operator and all?

Nothing special in March: AUS, MEM, MOB, MSY, SAT, and STL. This is with 2 airframes.

Tru dat!

I'll believe it when I see it

The 900s are now under contract. Delta and Skywest Inc. amended the previous contract and came to an agreement.

I did notice that in the latest FOM revision, Montego Bay was added as an approved alternate airport. Seems like a pretty distant alternate for Key West. Unless, of course, the revision cycle takes about two years, since the last time we were down in that neck of the woods.

Where do you find this info at?

I also noted that in the new CR7 OM, they added Russian/CIS RT fuel to the list of approved fuels. Moscow mini-hub, anyone?

That's been on the 200 since we got the OM a year ago. Isn't Chinese in there too?

You're right. I'll bid Shanghai if you bid Moscow.
