ASA may get CR9's?

[Smacktard]

Not to bring every one down but the only reason why this bid was CNX because all of the CR7 Capt could not swap trips on SKED+ if you look at the restricted days every fri thru mon were restricted because of low reserve coverage. I do think its a little strange that its what like 15+ Capt that get to stay on the 700.

Wouldn't they just change the effective date? Say extend it another month.

Yup, we are down three airplanes. Two 50's and a 70, wasn't it? :angryfire




Seriously, though, we are flying less, but at the moment, we are not shrinking.

I didn't know we had replacements for the ATR's already?

We have a replacement for you.....

SKYW, Inc.'s contract with Delta is to do a certain percentage of the ATL flying (80% ?). But are these CRJ9s to be CVG/SLC/LAX based, or a combination, or what?

All your base...

ASA can take the CRJ9s and run the whole ATL operation, and SKW can bring the CRJ9s they already have back the west coast. Just my two cents.

Most credible rumor I've heard is PNCL keeps base in ATL but mainly operates out of CVG, Comair moves all 900 ops to JFK, and we operate Freedoms 900s out of ATL.

Makes sense to move most of PNCL's stuff to CVG to give them a little breathing room performance wise, and giving CMR and ASA flying out of the hubs they know how to operate in.

That's also a very good theory.

Two displacement incentives, cha-ching!

Well, with the opening of the LAX "base" and receiving at least 4 CRJ9s for Delta starting in December.....who knows.

Thankfully, with XJT gone from SLC now, the schedule doesn't look near as greusome as it could have been.

Why would PNCL Hub out of ATL but operate out of CVG? That makes no sense, now if they HUB out of CVG, certainly. Who knows!

IF we were to get 900's and that's a big IF, Delta is probably going to park at least 2 50's for every 900 we were to get. But I'm guessing noone here knows what the hell is going on.

Thats the best piece of speculation I've heard on here yet.

SouthernJet's November schedule has 9E doing a crapload of flights out of CVG. Many Comair CVG routes are going to 9E. Comair will be flying all of the Freedom 900 routes out of JFK.

The question: Is 9E keeping the ATL flying by getting the 900's yanked from Freedom and then Comair, or is the 9E flying shifting away from ATL and the ATL 900 flying going to ASA?
