ASA S3C Did You Know

[701EV]

Did you know when we ride on Shuttle America, Freedom, Express Jet, and Chautauqua we ride only as an S3C, no S2 or S3. According to a Delta gate agent Delta, ASA, and Comair cannot use S2s or S3s to travel on any of these airlines. Now those airlines ride as S3 on their own airlines. Did I miss that memo or did anyone else know about this.

I think it has always been that way.

It has been that way for a while

Before Skypest bought us I was also assigned an S3C. Seems only fair as we wouldnt want someone from another airline bumping us on our own airline. Remember what Delta wanted to do to us with ASA only getting S3C on our own airline??

701EV,

You don't do much non-revving do you? It has been this way since the beginning of time....at least since those so-called "Delta branded" carriers came about!

 

[Mr Wu]

Damn. I'm furloughed from DL maintenance and I ride S3B.

 

[RJAA]

No you don't...you ride S3C on above mentioned carriers.

It ain't over yet. Supposedly, since they came to an impasse in the pass benefit negotiations, the status quo prevails until a year from September. Then Delta may impose whatever they want.

I would hope that Skypest management would not allow Delta mainline a higher priority than their own employees on Skypest and ASA. I cant even imagine the aftermath if Delta imposed that kind of priority system.

Crap. Didn't read the post properly. Let's try again...

Damn. I'm furloughed DL maintenance and I have the same priority as you. Plus, I'd probably bump you 'cause of my hire date.


Better?

Just think the former ASA ramp rats, now delta, will get S2 while you get S3C. Good thing other carriers are hiring. Gather your resume and pack you mailbox. Time to look for another job.

Delta's argument is "we own every seat on your airplanes and WE will decide who sits in them". Good times.

As Harry said, polish up your resume. If MJC is leaving, the end is surely near!
