Actually, ASA can. It wouldn't be much different than ASA buying pizza, airplane parts, etc.

Now, I think we will all agree Papa Jerry will be telling ASA what they can and can't purchase!

Until very recently, I wondered why Brad H. was still at ASA. Realistically, his resume' was about as good as it would get if he thought that ASA would be stagnant.

He came to Atlanta, generally took a firehose to the GO (with a few exceptions), played ball with the various labor groups, and voila', good things happened from a performance standpoint. If there was nothing strategically planned for ASA in the near future, there would be very little to keep the Bradster at ASA; his future prospects would not be served by sitting at the helm of a mature regional in the RFP warzone.

I would opine that the fact that BH is still here, and still very much doing the will of Inc., bodes very well for plans for the future of ASA.

ASA might not be the tallest midget in the room, but we are certainly close.

I know I'm included in the 56 that will be riceiving a recall notice. The company email stated that we would be getting information via FedEx Saturday (yesterday). My information is correct on ourasa and I was contacted by ALPA, no information packet has been delivered. Did anyone get theirs yet?

Not yet, I imagine it will arrive on tues or wed.

They are recalling for a good reason. PBS would really make this awash and not require recalls. More planes on the way.

Except that I think they furloughed to the max in anticipation of PBS passing, intentionally running us short now so we would be properly staffed when PBS kicked in. They weren't counting on 4 700s to replace the 6 200s. So I think the previous poster was correct--this is a wash for now.

Not to say that future growth won't mean future recalls, though.

Now lets hope they can place the 6 200's with United!

Four aircraft initially for Vietnam and 20 positions per seat was my understanding. Anyone with actual creditable info? Wait......this IS flightinfo......my bad.

Technically we weren't running short at all. Management spread the lines out to save money. But they spread it to the point there weren't enough reserves. Shouldn't be a problem next month with the rise of the line values.

PBS can't get here fast enough. Reserves should not be used to cover open time.

What else are you going to do with 120 reserves for 308 lines? There are very few sick calls in the overall scheme of things. All those guys would block next to nothing if not assigned trips. Now, If you want to make 50+ more lines and only have a handful of reserves every day, then I'm with you.

 

[COOPERVANE]

Does anybody else staff this way? I mean 120 reserves for 308 lines are you kidding me?

How incompetent is scheduling anyway?
