. As far as Mesa, they do not even qualify for DOT reporting, so don't even try to compare them, since there is nothing to compare!

Honest question. What qualifies an airline for DOT reporting? Why doesn't Mesa qualify?

 

[www.]

ASA pilots work at the worst airline in terms of on time performance, completion factor and lost bags. The Delta pax that you carry hate riding on your dirty little aircraft. They know they will be late, if they go at all, and then they worry that they will never see their checked bags again.

Congrats on your new TA, it will not prevent Delta from selling you off little by little.

This guy is with the times.. Uh, DAL sold us over 2 years ago. You didn't get the email?

I really don't know. Number of flights maybe? I know Mesa, CHQ/REP/Shuttle, AirWisc, PSA, Piedmont, Mesaba and Pinnacle are not included.

1+ Billion dollars revenue per year. Also the definition of a "major" airline.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Does anyone know anything anymore?

The reason Mesa and RAH do not qualify for DOT reporting is because those companies are divided into separate certificates that do not qualify individually.

Almost 100% of our delays (other than chaos) are due to ATL ground ops and 100% of our ops is staffed by Delta.

The reason Delta took over ATL ground ops is because they didn't want 1500 rampers walking the day they announced the changes to ASA's travel benefits.

Maybe I missed something, but why are people saying Mesa doesn't have to report? Click on the first link and you will see their financial data. Click on the second link and you can see a snapshot of almost all their numbers.

ASA has a cancellation percentage of 4.4 second only to Com Air at 5.4%. So you are near the top. In fact you are as close to the top as you can get.

Delta took over your baggage handling because your company was handling the baggage so poorly it helped win it the country's worst airline award.

Maybe you should stop posting on this website and preflight you aircraft so you can run on time today.

You can't even beat MASA and the run out of O'Hare for United, who suck. And they do it for less money, which they need to save to pay for lawyers to defend their executives who erase incriminating files off their computers along with all their porn.

Your level of intelligence tells us quite a lot about you. Firstly you can't spell worth a crap, and you are indeed full of the same crap. Now help us all out and get off this board, or take an overdose of something, you moron!

You know nothing.

Is English your 2nd or 3rd language? If not, good luck you will need it!

Oh, and


STFU!

"ASA we're not happy 'till you're not happy" That says it all.

What I've heard from union peeps

Anyone know how long the roadshow/voting process takes?

3 weeks? 3 months?

When do I see my .90 raise and my $1200 bonus?

TA in a pdf form will hopefully be emailed by the middle of this week with a hard copy in the mail headed toward your doorstep by the weekend.

The MEC wants to get the road show started asap because once it starts, then the official 28 day voting window opens. Once that closes and it either passes or fails, they would have to get all the i's dotted and t's crossed with a signature and an effective date.

The union wants the new dates to be in effect by the 1st of December and the signing bonus in your hands by the 15th of December.

They are working on how to divide up the $$$. Most likely scenario will be for them to figure out what a per-day dollar amount over the life of the contract is worth (i.e. ~$5-$7). Once that number is figured out, then you will take the number of days you have been at ASA since the amendable date (approx 1,830 day when Dec rolls around) and multiply by that number. It wont matter if you are/were an FO or CAPT. Nor will it matter what seat(s) you hold or have held over the timeframe. You just take the number of days you've been here and multiply by whatever number is figured up. There may be some tweaks to this, or they may do something entirely different but I'm just passing along what I've heard this week.

Thanks for the info. That method of distribution sounds fair. Hope that it is similar

 

[Ineedabrew]

Hey Bat,

Do you know who decides to cancel ASA flights.

Can you say DELTA!
