ASA/SKYW 90 seaters

[AVoiceOfReason]

Today I noticed the Skywest 90 seaters here in SLC have EV N#s. ALPA says these aircraft were going to SKYW all along - so why do they have EV N#s? ALPA what say you?????

I say you are a flamer....in 2 senses of the word.

Don't believe me? Next time you are here in SLC, look at the 90 seat tail numbers. These aircraft were ASA aircraft. The transfer of assets has already began.

ASA never flew or owned 90 seat aircraft. Therefore, they were never assets and an asset transfer has never begun.

Speedtape, I think you are missing the point. The EV tail numbers were intended for ASA as EV are the numbers for ASA AC tail numbers. You can ignore this, however this was not an accident.

I feel for my freinds at ASA who are caught between reality and rumour. Reality has it here, no rumour.

You are an embarrasement to the profession, I can only imagine how miserable you must be. In case you haven't noticed, you do not belong in this profession, move on and do something else. This is not flame, it's good advise, you represent 0.0001% of a company. I can only imagine you must've been this way all your life, the guy who just doesn't quite fit anywhere.

Do yourself a favor and shut the hell up!!!!

I think Voice has a point. Shortly after they order the aircraft they provide a tail number. This means that the aircraft was originally destined for ASA.

 

[Yknot]

does it really matter who they were destined for? the fact is that they are at Skywest and they are not at ASA. they still only have 70 seats in them.

They were part of the 18 firm orders DCI/ASA placed for aircraft with Bombardier before the asset purchase. The orders were converted to the larger platform. When SkyWest bought ASA it took ASA's order book and placed the aircraft with SkyWest.

There were minor differences training since these airplanes were not ordered in the fashion SkyWest configured the rest of their fleet.

Just like the GECAS airplanes ASA got.

At any rate, they were "ASA" airplanes that would have come to ASA. But history unfolded differently than was intended when the orders were placed. You know how aviation goes....

All the 900 have SK tail numbers. you say a 700.

 

[ASADriver]

Can anyone confirm whether the 900s have EV registration?

 

[Comrade Duck]

The first two that arrived on property had SK tail numbers.

V of R is LJ, older girlfriend of Joey Merchant, sailor boy and spoiled brat. SKYW owns ASA, so they can put planes where they want them, and where DAL wants them. We get paid to fly what's here on ASA's flight line.

VOTED IN FAVOR!

NO YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT.

Delta MARKETING decides what aircraft are flown on THEIR ROUTES!
Those 900's were probably scheduled to fly out of ATL but DELTA MARKETING changed their minds and put them in SLC. Well ASA no longer has a base in SLC so guess what...SKYWEST has to fly the 900's. Why is this such a friggin' mystery to some people? ASA and SKYWEST do as TOLD by DELTA!

 

[homerjdispatch]

The first two 900's SkyWest got were 800SK and 802SK.

So there.....lol

The last sentence is correct. The real question is, "How high do we jump?"

"Liar" is a pretty harsh term to throw around. I would say instead that Reason is either Visual-Acuity-Challenged or just needs to repeat Aircraft Recognition 101.

There are still a lot of ASA 700s rolling around SLC. They have EV registration. Unless we have already taken delivery of the third one, there have (up til now) only been two SKYW 900s parked in SLC.

The 900s can be recognized by the fact that they have been stretched beyond the beautiful perfect balanced length of the 700. The double overwing exits are another dead giveaway. SkyWest 900s also sport the newly-redesigned winglets first seen on the 705 which extend out at almost a 45 deg angle instead of going almost straight up.

I have been in the hangar building all this past week for training and had a close-up view of the two 900s that I know we have so far. One was 800SK, and I believe the other one was 802SK. SkyWest has reserved a whole slew of 8xxSK numbers to put on future 900s. The company sent out a list of the tail numbers for the first 6, but I can't find the old email that contained it.

The following information was copied from the FAA Aircraft Registry (anyone can look this stuff up). Notice it doesn't say SkyWest is the owner because the airplane is financed through Wells Fargo. See also below the other tail number that SkyWest has reserved for future 900s. The 900 just past certification 2 nights ago, so they have not been operating yet.

Why Driver, need something else to whine about? See the previous post, but you won't believe it anyway huh.

VOTED IN FAVOR!

"Voice", aka LJ loves to stir the pot, then disappear for a while. Or she sends her boy toy JB in to do her dirty work. She's too stupid to tell the difference between a -700 and -900, and too lazy to learn. Put her comments in the appropriate context. Say, when she was 18, wasn't John, 5? That's kinda gross.

 

[SKYWRJGUY]

Also, a corresponding "pants on fire" is also a harsh follow-on to throw around here. Good grief.

 

[SSDD]

Let's see, the only type ASA flies in SLC is the CRJ700, yet an ASA pilot can't tell the difference between a 700 and a 900?

That's pretty bad.

 

[ReportCanoa]

Industry leading contract/ dissolve ASA. Or both. That's my motto.

 

[Weasil]

I saw 803 there also over a week ago. It was parked outside the hangar. it is not an EV tail number.

 

[Comrade Duck]

I was in class when we took delivery of the airplanes. I got a pretty good look at them everyday for about 10 days. Even did a walk around one of them. The tail number is a little bit higher up than the others, but even with the increased distance I am still pretty sure I read SK.

I'm not a liar and it appears the other guy is just stupid. So there you go.

 

[SBD-2U3]

I think someone got all excited and forgot to look for the second emergency exit over the wing. Happens to the best of us...O'well back to the BEER!

But she said it wasn't as bad as people think--he looked like he was 7.

You've lost any credibility that you may have still had around here. Better spend another $10 for a new screen name. You're done. :uzi: AVOR

Why would you ask here? Call your ASA elected ALPA rep.

 

[crjskipper]

WRONG! The first 2 705s (900s) in SLC both had EV tails with SW on the nose. These same 2 planes had asa on the nose before delivery. The interiors were configed by asa also.

Politics aside - these airplanes were coming to asa. SW Inc is playing this game, bl and ct are just pawns, here to sell the sw inc agenda. Now all the 705s are gone and the 700s will soon begin to go.

anyone who thinks a union is coming to sw is nuts, no need for one, the sw pilots will get massive growth and a small raise. sw inc keeps a union off the property for years at least

asa alpa can stand strong, it doesnt matter any more - sw inc has won, our planes will transfer, our jobs will go away

not flaming or scaring - just my opinion
