ASA Getting 900's?

[Stifler's Mom]

Just a rumor I heard in the crewroom and since there isn't much going on flightinfo tonight here it is.

ASA F/A Training Dept. is getting ready to train flight attendants on a 2 cabin configuration.

Great, now management can treat you like $hit while you are on a bigger airplane. Cool.

 

[General Lee]

Well, since Delta WANTS 200 79 seaters, that would be the CRJ-705, which supposedly has 70 coach and 9 first class. (?) I am sure they want to train people on that. I don't know what Dalpa is exactly negotiating, but I think we are against it. I remember the DL lawyer saying that they would only put 70 seats on them if they had to, including some first class seats. So, anything is possible I guess.

From a passenger standpoint, these 2.5-3 hour legs on the 70-seaters have got to drive them nuts...especially the million milers and medallion members that would like to enjoy more room for their business.

 

[utahpilot]

freshest from the rumour mill....

the forthcoming 22 aircraft to SW Inc. will be mostly 900s.

900s will go to ASA in ATL, and their pilots will eventually all be based there. Delta needs the larger feed there.

current ASA 700 flying in SLC will be gradually moved to the SW side of the SW Inc. house.

anyway, that's the newest bit I heard....

That's funny, we still have a scope limit of 70 seats. Has that changed? There has been no agreement. I heard though that you are getting VIP 767s for Jerry Atkin and his managment team. They have to do something with their profits---rather than pay you guys an extra $5 an hour for your CR7s...

Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[SiuDude]

Does anyone know how many 700's EV currently has in SLC?

 

[OARfan]

I think its around 11 or 15.

Wait a minute....I thought the VIP transport was gonna be an A340....damn rumors....

These rumors change form hour to hour. You should know that by now!

[ohplease!]

19 I think

Nah it's one of those Ghana Airways 757's that they want!

 

[79%N1]

General Sherman, maybe the CEO's of these companies know more of what is happening behind the scenes than you do............naaaah! That couldnt be. You know it all.

Anyway, Atkin, etc may be privy to information that the great GL doesnt have, and they already know what kind of fleet plan they are heading towards. And maybe, just maybe what they said about first class with only 70 seats if there was no scope relief will come to fruition.

 

[atlcrashpad]

General,

Jerry and his Kids are getting a 777 VIP config for SLC to ATL to kick ASA Mis-Management's A$$. This is why ASA Pilots need to take a pay cut.

Hey Lerchy,

Dalpa done with their negotiating yet? DL lawyers aren't on your side anyway so why are you worried about how many seats are in ASA's 705'S. You need to worry about getting more planes at mainline and stop worrying about ASA/SKYW/Comair. DAL needs to stop trying to be an Legacy with LLC attributes. Your international marketing scheme just might pay assuming you get your upgrade on the maddogg. lol How are the load factors on all that international flying out of HotLanta?

 

[~~~^~~~]

The - 900 was a decent rumor, but facts are that ASA's scheduled 70 seaters have already been diverted to SLC where SKYW crews are going through differences training. ASA's IP's were told to bid lines, since no new hiring training is on the horizon, and they mostly came over and knocked me down about 20 numbers for bidding.

ASA and SkyWest don't know anything about "new" airplanes until Deta knows something and Delta should find out something next month from the Arbitration that the Delta pilots say is not really an arbitration is complete.

General - you agree with this synopsis?

 

[79%N1]

Who freakin cares what the General thinks? Why do you all think he is some know it all aviation knowledge god? He doesnt know anymore than you, all he knows is he hates regional pilots.

Actually they were CMR airframes. Our orders were pushed off until 2007.

 

[CFIT]

I've been told by upper managment that ASA will get at least two 900's within the next 60 days. It will not be a 705, as it has many different parts in the wing, and more importantly it is only certificated for 70 seats. If a operator wanted to put more than 70 seats in a 705 it would cost much more than the 900 would in the first place. Jerry has the 900 coming for ASA and if he didn't already know that he could put more seats in it in the future I don't think he would buy them. He doesn't make those kind of mistakes. The 70 seat scope limit is all but certain near death and the aircraft can be retrofitted with additional seats overnight.

Good for some bad for others.

The only differences training required will be for the flight attendants because of a different cabin layout, mainly two lavs.

70's already hav 2 lavs.

 

[CFIT]

70's already hav 2 lavs.

Our 70's for United only have one.

 

[Smacktard]

Our 70's for United only have one.

All 35 (I think that's the number) at ASA have 2. That or I've been pissing in the front closet all this time...!

 

[Comin-In-Hot]

Talked to CP the other day, and apparently we are going from 23 departures a day here in SLC to 40 per day in March. Hopefully that will bring more lines, or increase the credit on the ones we have.

 

[CFIT]

You are correct, I'm not sure why the 70's for United were ordered with just the one lav, and to change back to two was probably because they were going to go to ASA when they were ordered. But thats a guess?

Pardon the ignorance, but are instructor pilots the ones who operate the sims or are they the ones that do IOE (i.e. LCA)?

Looks like we're in 905 which is a 90 seater did you get the bulletin about the 90 seater. The weights are a little different and it lands slightly different with the perspective and the weight but other than that it's the same. I flew one of these last week so I'll take the first leg.

 

[Freebrd]

Thought Crash Pad was management??? CP maybe?

 

["GO AROUND"]

Talked to a senior IP this morning waiting for the bus and he said that a 70-79 seat aircraft is coming to ASA. They are waiting to see what happens with scope at DAL, but the aircraft are coming. Take it for what you want.

 

[scarlet]

SKW can not fly 70 seaters for Delta right now...

Why would they tell the flight attendants these airplanes are coming and they will be getting trained for the 2 class service.... this is from VP of Inflight..

Our f/a was in recurrent last week and they told them the same thing, by June...

And GENERAL--Delta should have alot more 777 (we have what 6) but NO the pilots had to screw that up at Delta too, lets see hong kong=NO tokyo=NO Dubai=NO ASIA=NO looking back at that 300.00 hour vs 220.00hour, bet you would take that now right. we all do... don't blame everything on regional pilots--you to had a chance to merge and perge everyone--but once again the DL GREATNESS= NO
