ASA Shines with on Time

[701EV]

Another outstanding year with on time performance at ASA. Our mgmt states it's hard to get better on time performance in ATL due to our volume and weather. How does Delta do it? Maybe the reason ASA didn't get those new airplanes is because of our crappy performance numbers? Come on Brian maybe if you take care of your PILOT'S they will take care of you!

[ATR-DRIVR]

I had plenty of times being in the hold for no apparent reason. Waiting for the rampers to "amble" on out after sitting by the road for 10 - 15 minutes watching them sit on tugs. Weather a huge issue also. Look at the top bunch of players and where they fly. Hawaiian, much fewer flights, and mostly to places where it is vfr. Skywest, has mini-hubs, flys out west - vfr most of the time. ATA, fewer numbers of flights. On and on. Most of our flights are in good old ATL, complete with weather, too many airplanes, not enough gates, many, not all, rampers who have "other things to do".
We pulled into D-28 the other day at 2:35 pm, they finally came out at 2:45, pulled us in, threw (literally) the chocks at us and all three headed for the bus. No one came until another 10 minutes. Gate agent was even P'Oed.
Passengers wanted OFF of that thing and she took those off who had no carry ons. I went out and unloaded the 5 carry ons so WE could go home. Shut it down and left. NEVER saw another ramper as we headed to the bus.

Come on Joe Leonard, maybe if you take care of your pilots, they'll take care of you!

Anyone still want performance pay/profit sharing based on the above ?

.. Skywest, has mini-hubs, flys out west - vfr most of the time. .

SLC is far from being a mini-hub. Unfortuantely, what good we get from
SLC gets dragged down by SFO and ORD on the UA side since all
the on-times numbers are system-wide and not code share specific.

I had to make this PA last week:


"Well folks, we'd like to welcome you to Atlanta! The good news is we are 10 minutes early. The bad news is we won't be getting parked anytime soon.

Seems zone 3 is primarily controlled by the crips and Zone 4 is mostly a mix of bloods but has recently been infiltrated by MS-13. So.......zone 4 is having "jumping in" ceremony for those that want to join MS-13.

We are parking in zone 3, but the increased tension in zone 4 has got the crips occupied with border protection, so there are no rampers in sight.

Looks like we will be moving as soon as this gets sorted out. Sorry again for the delay. Thanks for your patience, and again, welcome to Atlanta!!"

Lightweights. I waited 1:15 once on superbowl Sunday. Bright, clear day, but only 20% of rampers showed up (this was during the famous ramp "B-Scale Experiment"). The guys at the GO were watching from their windows. Had to have APD on hand when they got off they were so pi$$ed. This was 1998. Nice to know things have changed.

 

[SkyBoy1981]

I guess Mesa was so bad they didn't make the list.

 

[Tomct]

I don't believe that our numbers were that good. We should have been at the bottom! Someone is playing with numbers on that deal! Brian....is that you....jackAss!

 

[FanSpinner]

Huh?

Skywest, has mini-hubs, flys out west - vfr most of the time.

Have you ever been out west? During the winter? VFR most of the time?

He flies the ATR! He's lucky if he leaves Georgia on a trip.


As far as the ontime performace goes, did you see the company memo (Technical Briefing) no on the ground calls in ATL.

(Shaking my head)

 

[shamrock]

As far as the ontime performace goes, did you see the company memo (Can't think of it's official name) but no on the ground calls in ATL.

(Shaking my head)

Yeah, we tried not calling this past week and it worked out great. Inrange we were told D27 (ramp 5), got on the ramp and our gate was taken, called Ops and were told D26 (ramp 4), taxied there, were then told by Ramp that we were were back D27 again, checked with Shaniqua in Ops, she says stay at D26, finally got parked, then Shaniqua copped an attitude when I called our times because she thought we were "calling her too much". :angryfire

 

[atlcrashpad]

Shaniqua in OPS is my Babies Momma....

 

[Tim47SIP]

ATL Rampers

Copy DAT!

We taxied in to C20 something a couple years ago and there were absolutely no rampers to be seen any where. Waiting to get someone to come out to the aircraft, we called ops and they said that there had been a drug screening and we lost over half of the rampers.

A few weeks later, same thing, no rampers. Called ops and asked if there was another drug screening, and were told that someone had a party and 22 of them quit that night. Well, I guess I really cant blame them! Just think what things will be like when those pass privileges are changed to S3C, even on our own aircraft. You got to love the place.uke:

 

["GO AROUND"]

I heard today that Skywest worked into the DAL agreement that weather and ATC delays do not effect us in our peformance bottom line with DAL. Anybody else heard this?

 

[IFlyFL410]

I thought that was assumed????

 

[sweptback]

As far as the ontime performace goes, did you see the company memo (Technical Briefing) no on the ground calls in ATL.

(Shaking my head)

Hey, if that's what they say, I guess I have no choice but to not call on the ground then,

Also, don't call for wheelchairs if they're listed on the paperwork. Even at outstations. That's going to go over real well, too.

I fully expect another memo to fix that glitch in about a month.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Have you ever been out west? During the winter? VFR most of the time?

From SLC. I said MOST of the time. I am aware of the inversion in the valley during the winter. Thanks for playing.

 

[Plug]

Let the system work baby, or not....

 

[Stifler's Mom]

then Shaniqua copped an attitude when I called our times because she thought we were "calling her too much". :angryfire

What happened to Malik????? He was the best, atleast he tried and gave no 'tude while doing it. The other gal, and the guys that work late at night are good too.
