ASA Sept. New Hire Classes Cancelled???

[viper548]

If they were smart they would of but probably weren't allowed to. Skywest had no announced additional flying and has over the last few months hired several hundred pilots who are not flying. What do you think that means? Why were they hired and trained and continue to hire and put through class even now at a rate of 30 per week? If you don't believe me, call your Skywest buddys.

SkyWest has -700 deliverys for united thru Feb '06 i believe it is

what does the ASA contract say about a buy out. I think a standard merger and fragmentation clause is in most ALPA contracts. I would think that ALPA ASA would insist on it. This would be like United buying American and wanting to keep the pilots on seperate list, wouldn't it?

No its not the same as United buying American. SkyWest Airlines is not buying ASA. SkyWest INC, (a holding company that owns SkyWest Airlines) is buying ASA. There is a difference.

I stand corrected. What I should of said is it would be like AMR buying Delta.

Man were so short FO's right now. I got drafted for a 2 day after I finished with my 3 day. Talked to like 5 other FO's who were drafted for trips. Talked to two other Captains today who were flying as FO's. No way we will slow down hiring unless they decide to take some planes away....

What's the deal with ASA losing 40 lines? Is that flying that will return, or did I just misunderstand something?

The summer schedule is ending.

 

[Halo_RJdriver]

Skywest is hiring 80 or more a month. There are plenty of pilots that want jobs. If I were an ASA Pilot I would keep working hard and keep my nose clean.

They say end of summer, but also Delta took flying away from us because we can't staff airplanes. Why do you think the bid pack was a day late?

Brilliant!!! We're already short and they stop hiring.. Dump our managment, PLEASE!!! I hope skywest doesn't want ex TWA managment failures dragging them down. What are skywest's medical benifits like?

Could you name these people who came from TWA. Remember Trans World Express is Trans States..

Halo, you say some of the dumbest sh1t.

Keep flying those tampons with wings metro.

emb 120 class of 40 and RJ class of 40 equals 80
If you want a copy of our training plans I would be happy to email you a copy. Some of your cohorts on here talk about trashing the airline breaking stuff in the cockpit etc. Keep your nose clean is not much to ask. Go back to your miller lite and take a cookie break.

Anyone who talks about trashing anything is an idiot. As are all the doomsayer, chicken little types who say the end is near.

I am ecstatic about the SkyWest purchase. Maybe they can fix a broken airline (ASA).

I am from the West Coast.

I don't drink Miller Lite.

I don't watch Nascar.

I hate Atlanta.

I would quit ASA before I would move to "the ATL".

I hate the South and all things thereunto pertaining.

Just so you know.

Dear Halo and Erlander,

This aquisition has all the making of something positive and should be treated as such, without threats of we are hiring more than you nanana, or breaking airplanes, or how ASA pilots need to "keep our nose clean", how are you any better positioned than we are? We are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Skywest, Inc.. Correct? Just because you were wholly owned first do you think that entitles you to more? We were owned by Delta before Comair and we did not tell the Comair pilots to "keep your noses clean" or any of the other worthless sh!t that spews out of your mouthes we embraced and tried to work together to get the two companies together. Everybody who is all worked up needs to take a deep breath and relax in and out, in and out, serenity now, serenity now. Chill out dudes and dudettes.

There ya go jeht....

We should be excited by the fact that we now have an AIRLINE with almost 4000 pilots that spans the country. It is a great opportunity to kick the crap out of the competition. A little team spirit would be nice to see. Personnaly I laugh at the idiots who talk about burning down the airline. It is laughable. This is the best thing that could have happened to ASA and SkyWest if you ask me.

As for the doomsayers, if it sucks so bad, quit and go be an accountant.
