ASA finally Sold....really

[KO King]

Current plans are for ASA and SkyWest Airlines to operate as wholly owned subsidiaries of SkyWest, Inc

Excuse my ignorance but does this mean the pilots at both will not have to worry about a "staple" or "percentage integration" for the time being?????

What intergration? Pull you head out ard read. Go back to flying 152s.

Lighten up Francis, I RTFA. Notice you said current plans, and we all know how quickly that can change in this industry. Do you really think one won't be used to whipsaw the other? Do you really they will continue to expensively operate two seperate airlines indefinately, especially when operating for the same codeshares? Of course there are going to be fences and protections, but don't be naive.

Like I said, good luck, I have friends that work for both places...

Glad to be aboard SkyWest folks. I am happy as this gets us out from the looming bankruptcy.

What about SkyWest pilots voting in ALPA. Just to keep the whipsaw thing to a minimum?

Burn The Place Down!!!! Take No Prisoners

Honestly...the challenges of intergrating and all of that will be taken care of when the time comes...in the meantime...THANK GOD SKYWEST IS HERE...So who do we talk to at skywest so that all of our management can be replaced????

 

[Crash Pad]

Plunder!!! Bring on the sexy stews! Not to mention the gate agents...

I am cautiously optimistic that this will ultimately be better for ASA employees. It means we won't be dragged into bankruptcy along with Delta, while simultaneously buying them some more time.

Good luck to all of us.

There goes the ASA pay, and the fast upgrade at Skywest.

So SkyWest took on a union. Now we'll see just how wonderful SkyWest management is. I think some folks are up for a rude awakening.

check www.skywest.com
new website up today and all the maps company info is posted.
IT can sure do a number to help the web look great but when QOL is involved the crews don't get any help from IT.
Bring the UNion cards to SGU....

So do you think we will have travel benifits on ASA and Skywest or just ASA?

 

[Crash Pad]

So I'm guessing ASA won't see a new airplane for the rest of time.... Check your seniority number it will be the same for the rest of time until people die or turn 60. Skywest will have a two week upgrade.

Hold on let me get the Union line... Don't worry that won't happen we will still put on the aircraft we have ordered.

Why....arent they supposed to be operated seperately?????
