ASA DTW: It's official

[Whataboutbob]

This has got to be a move to replace the XJ CR9s that are slated to go to JFK this spring/summer. I guess we know it'll be 8 of them now.

Where did you hear this one? I agree XJ's CR9's are the next to be yanked around the Delta system, and will happen soon after the TA is ratified this week if I had to guess.

How much money do the regionals lose playing musical chairs in the Delta system??

It's been a frequent rumor that the reason why 9E management needed a contract so bad was so they could move the 900s to JFK. This is part of Delta's "First Class Seating in JFK" plan.

The problem was we didn't know how many would go. I'm making a guess that it's the same number that ASA is moving in.

Hurry up and vote "yes" on this TA.....Anderson and Uncle Phil need to get things moving and get those 900's to the east coast......

Well at least the reductions on the 200 side should make them create pairings with higher block. Question is where are they going to go unless this DTW flying is mostly added flying. We aren’t getting rid of 200 airframes so for me this is proof of another negative affect of PBS.

We can’t be surprised because we were told that we would need 10% less people with PBS. So instead of growth and movement we have displacements. Enjoy.

How?

4 day trips with 7-8 legs/day?

The Company only saves money from PBS if we grow. I haven't seen anything on paper, but the figure I was told was 2.5 million buckaroos they spent on implementing this thing. My guess is the Company wants to grow to realize any cost savings and efficiency.

All in the wording. We are growing. Adding airframes and expanding to new bases. That is growth. Thing is we can now do it without hiring.

Any word on MEM? That'd be another base we could open and not hire pilots for!

Yes. Tell Comair too. They do not understand this.
