ASA Short-Term Perfect Attendance Program

[79%N1]

Pilots are pissed, last place in just about everything measurable, lost about 40-50 mechanics 'cause you treat them like crap too, new ones are right out school and don't know an RJ from their own ass, a/c are falling apart, open time galore, out of reserves every day....

Your airline is falling apart and your plan is iPads and a couple of TV's???? Please tell me you have something more

Nope. They got nothing!

Hey, 65 hr lines with 12-14 days off worked GERAT, huh?!?!?

Does ASA not have the money to hire pilots right now? Is that the reason that they're going to hire in mass numbers like they are on the ExpressJet side?

Financially it doesn't seem like Atlantic Southeast is doing too well right now, but even they must think that it's cheaper to hire some new pilots than eait for the integration to be complete. Theyre not going to have a unified labor group for a while...

ASA leadership has NO IDEA what they are doing. Skywest has a brilliant CEO, but he seems to be letting ASA sink their own ship.

Atkin, Ornstein are brilliant if not shrewd businessmen. ASA has Brad Holt. While affable and mostly honest, he seems to let middle management run things and they are border line retarded.

Border line?? You're too nice.

Me thinks JA and BH do things with the INC picture in mind. Ergo, INC (and by extension JA) is running the whole show.

That is very possible. Even if ASA disappeared next week Jerry made his original investment back already,

Well, it appears that it's still the same old ASA that it was when I left 5 years ago! I almost thought the thread was some sort of gag at first. However, this scheme is right up there with the infamous Christmas cookies. ASA always seemed like a runaway reactor on the verge of meltdown from hate and discontent!

 

[V-1]

i'm now officially disappointed i did get hired there...

I think i now know why though. When we were waiting on finger prints, one of the other interviewees saw that "attendance counseling: Sign on the wall and asked me what i thought it might be. I told him it was where i'd be spending a lot of time after i hit the line. Desk girl thought it was funny at least....

:d :d :d

Not in April! Next month we'll have a 6 leg day followed by a 9hr overnight and 7 legs! But at least they're high credit. BTW, Thanks for all you do!

OMG, don't remind me of those cookies! I use them as chocks on my truck while changing tires. They are still just as rock-hard as when they issued them years ago. Nothing has changed here, just the paint jobs.

If you have access to ourasa I highly suggest reading the comments on this "incentive". Very entertaining!

 

[cksport]

Makes me feel all nostalgic about the cookies and gold plated tin ornaments we use to get for Christmas. Those were the days!

Holy crap, you're not kidding. No wonder we're supposedly hurting for money. Look at all the meals that Brad and Scott are going to have to buy while they go on their "Disgruntled Employee Lunch Dates."

 

[Abernathy]

Even Mesa pilots are reading this and going "wow that place blows"..

How about all them 8th layovers..
