ASA July 5 Announcement

[Crash Pad]

Hey I heard the big purchase of ASA is supposed to be announced on the 5th of July. I was wondering if you all had worked out the seniority list... If you could all post the list in detail for both a Mesa and Skywest purchase I would appreciate it.

This is about the 14th date I have heard of where there was supposed to be a big announcement. Nothing happenned on the other 13 dates.

 

[atrdriver]

Wouldn't there need to be an SEC filing in this case? And wouldn't it have to be approved by the DOT, just as any other airline merger is? Kind of hard to keep those details a secret.

 

[doh]

Yes it would. But ever since man discovered fire, there has been flame! And along came flight info!

I heard the big announcment is that Delta will be integreating ASA into mainline....yea heard that from my last FA...it's a for sure thing.

Is a new "announcment date" going to be a monthly thing from now on?

While the sale of ASA is speculative, $60 oil makes Delta's bankruptcy darn near certain. Then anyone's guess is as good as mine.

Delta is doing a good job of managing the company and reorganizing without all the mess at US Air, but $60 an barrell oil is more than undoing the progress that has been made.

Airtran getting 737's that can cherry pick Delta's few profitable routes is not helping things.

I'm kind of wondering what to do when Delta gets into more serious trouble. CRJ's are not the answer to high fuel costs. Maybe many of us will be flying Eclipse Jets 12 months from now.

Skywest folks - what is it like flying with United?

It's like flying the Delta side except the passengers don't come out one at a time and we do manual manifests.

Fins,

Come on now, you really are pushing it again. It doesn't matter how high fuel gets, as long as you add fare increases to cover the costs. 7 fare increases have already been added. Gas prices will likely go down after the summer driving season ends, and that coincides with less passengers flying in SEP.

Airtran is adding a lot of 737s, but they have lately been added to routes like DFW to LAS and LAX, and BWI to FLA. None of those routes affect DL.

Spreading fear is not like you usually. Normally you try to think things out before you state them. Tough day at the RJDC office?
