crjskipper said:I was told by several IPs who have been doing the ACARS 'proving runs' that a few of our current 700s were not modified because those were the ships on the list going to SW. Also told by the same guys that the 900s were in montreal with ASA on them - that ASA had ordered the parts and done all the work on the interiors. Seems to be a lot of trouble if SW was getting them all along.
Nobody said Skywest was getting them all along. The way I understand it is that the decision was made to allocate those airplanes to the Salt Lake system because the E170s were not performing adequately (range issues). Since ASA will no longer have a base in SLC (which our own management said had NOTHING to do with the pilot contract negotiations), then it stands to reason that the airplanes would then go to Skywest. Bottom line is we did get screwed out of some airplanes but it had absolutely nothing to do with pilot costs or contract negotiations.
