It was just a matter of time, wasn't it? Skippy B.'s departure was the writing on the wall. Picking the correct date, I say your odds were about 30:1! Time to play SUPER LOTTO!!!!

You missed by two months! You wrote that on 6/14/05.....goofy.


By the way; did I say "I told ya so" yet?

See, I really do know the guy.

Glad to be onboard Skywest. Hope things work out as well as I expect them to.

For our team members

On Aug. 15, 2005, Delta announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell ASA to SkyWest, Inc., for a purchase price of $425 million. Upon completion of the transaction, ASA will become a wholly owned subsidiary of SkyWest, Inc.
ASA will continue normal business operations and will focus on providing outstanding service to our customers.

We know you have questions and concerns about this announcement. With those concerns in mind, this site has been designed to provide you with answers and resources during the transition.

Some of the answers to your questions may not be answered in the FAQ because we are still very early in this process. As the transition process continues, this site will be updated regularly.

Please visit the following Web sites for more information:

[Butters]

Good luck to both sides.

I'm still waiting for the fireworks between America West and US Airways. Hopefully you guys will be able to keep them running separately, or find a decent way to merge.

Does this mean I can get on the Skywest list and finally get away from ALPA??? I hope so.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

I think ALPA is looking at this as a step in the right direction. Just looking at the SkyWest website says a lot about the company. I think they are a cut above things we have seen in the past at ASA.

I was wondering when someone would bust me!

well, you did at least get the 15th part right....

 

[Fly-n-hi]

I'm so glad I'm not there anymore.

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

ALPA doesn't exactly have a stellar record "keeping the whipsaw thing to a minimum". In fact many of ALPA's actions have helped management in the whipsaw department.

 

[relief tube]

crazy how the route map could pretty much pass for one at mainline. Sucks. Chicago-Calgary, San Fran - San Antonio. Those are some long flights on RJ's.

Aside from loosing my pass bennies (commuter here), I'm kind of excited about the deal. Seems to me folks at SkyWest seem to complain a whole lot less than we do at ASA. I'm all for getting rid of mgm't here. Mabye we can finally get a new contract too.....

Well, you have not lost them yet. Hopefully, you will continue your current pass benefits, and gain some on UAL.

If you don't fly for UAL you don't get bennies on them.

 

[E120ASA]

UAL will tank so who cares. Hopefully we will start a LCC, and have new benefits. Also thanks SkyWest, we will work this out.
