ASA Aircraft

[ASABound]

Just curious, does any current ASA guys or gals know how many A/C that the company has ? ALso could someone PM me please to help me find a friend over there ? Thanks

 

[DrunkIrishman]

Around 102 jets and 19 ATR-72's. 15 more jets in 2004.

Have a nice day.

 

[Mmmmmm Burritos]

107 jets. 920EV is the 100th, and 927EV was the last 50 seater delivered in 2003.

Irishman,

I thought that ASA was getting 7 new aircraft in '04. If they are taking 15, that would be great and I hope that I am wrong. Can any Candler drivers shed some light on this....

 

[Boxer]

15 CRJ-700s to be delivered in 2004.

 

[Medeco]

Yesss

This is true.

They only question that remains on those 15 is how many will be going to DFW and ATL.

For now only rumors say most of them will go to DFW.

[FL000]

15 CRJ-700s to be delivered in 2004.

Not that it really matters, but I thought it was 13 and 2.

ASA has 107 50 seaters, plus the 70s that they have. Don't know how many that is though. Am I wrong?

 

[avoidingmyboss]

FL000 LOL at that pic.

 

[DrunkIrishman]

102---107. I'm not sure how many we have to date, but we will get 15 70's next year...so far.

Happy New Year

No one knows how many planes we will get, managment changes the number every 1/2 hour.....especially since we are in contract negotiations.

 

[Medeco]

Huh?

Birdie,

No one knows how many we will get?

we wont be getting less than 15 aircraft in 04.

Happy New Year!
Cheers

Comair gets 7, ASA gets 15.

Edit:

These numbers refer to the set CR7 deliveries for '04. I've seen some other numbers out for additional CRJ's from the recent RFP, but I don't know if they would deliver this year or further down the road.

How long have you been with the company? How can you possibly say "we won't get less than 15 A/C"??

I'm all for growth, but ASA could easily be walking the line in 9 or 10 months, then watch those 15 A/C go to CHQ, MESA, etc., not to mention all the 45 up for grabs in the RFP.

NO ONE knows how many planes we will get (if any) in 2004, NO ONE..... Any one on these boards telling you otherwise is kidding themselves.

 

[Medeco]

ohhh ok

You have a valid point.

I could have said that too, as a disclaimer but I did not.

My time at the company is long enough to know whats going on. Lets not have a pissing contest over the number of aircraft we get. We recieved all the aircraft we were supposed to this year why will 2004 be different? I know all the reasons you will say, so save your fingers.

Bottom line, you are correct, NO ONE knows for sure, but I feel pretty confident.

Cant we all just be friendly?????

would it be safe to say that a new hire will most likely go to the 50 seater, or does it depend you think on the number of 70 seaters / how many people bid it ??

Just a WAG, but my guess is 50/50 distribution of new hires.

 

[bailout]

Since there is over 50 F/Os on reserve on the 50 in ATL, and only 7-8 on the 70, and we are getting 15 70s this year, my guess would be new hires are all going to the 70.

 

[ASApuppy]

Negative ghostrider!

While all new bids will be for the 70, they will most likely come from within and leave new hires to the 50 or ATR. It's all about the money. As for DFW being junior, that is only true on the 50. Holding a line in the right seat of the 70 at DFW is at 3.3 years. Hopefully, some of these deliveries will bring some parity to the domiciles.

>>While all new bids will be for the 70, they will most likely come from within and leave new hires to the 50 or ATR. It's all about the money<<

I dont agree. If it were for the money, they would have bid over already. Everyone I talk to would rather have quality of life/better schedules, than 1-2 dollars more an hour. Heck who knows, it could all go senior. Its gonna be fun watching the awards. If they do indeed go to the newhires, than you will see senior guys bidding it more as they will be higher up the pole. Right now Im @ 200 out of 300 on the RJ, but on the 70 I would be @ 5 from the bottom. A few more bucks dont matter to me. However, if we get 100 newhires on the 70, then I will consider it.
