ASA Vision and Values!

From the latest ASA Fact sheet with comments inserted...

• ASA aspires to be the most trusted and respected regional airline in the eyes of our customers, team members, shareholders and competitors by:
Customers? Team members? Shareholders? Please. They've gone the extra mile to show they have no interest whatsoever in being trusted and respected.
• Showing every customer our passion for safety and personalized service;
Yeah, and we do this everyday by being dead last in performance and luggage. Mmmm huh.
• Attracting and developing team members who contribute to the success of the ASA family;
Like attracting maggots with a hunk of rancid meat. Here are some words from one of the few rampers that can actually think in response to a question I asked about the ramp getting bad again "What do you expect? The supervisors know less than I do, they come to me with questions, how do you think they can manage when they don't know what they're doing". Yeah, ASA develops them allright................ppppffffffffffffffffffffffffft.
• Creating a fun and rewarding culture that recognizes the value of individuals and teamwork;
Fun and rewarding? Oh yeah, that's what we're all about.
• Being flexible and efficient in everything we do.
Flexible and efficient...who writes this stuff? This is embarrassing. Efficient is probably the last word I would ever use to describe operations at ASA. Flexbile? Oh yeah, they bend over backwards to make things right...​

Just another example of how great the "leaders" (cough,cough) at ASA are at coming up with slogans, and ideas, but have NO plan on how to carry out the plan. Its one thing to come up with such wonderful mission statements, but another entirely to imlement those plans. There are some positive steps being taken, with the boarding ramps and concourse renovations, hopefully our ramp will be much less embarrasing and more efficient. We'll see if they come through with a plan to have more personell to achieve these goals. IMHO, the baggage problem will never be solved with the way they run the operation, and much of that is a Delta thing. We'll see. Anyway, I have learned to have no faith that anything they say will happen.

As funny as that is- alot of other airlines don't get that much.

This is the complete opposite of what the employees think. I bet ASA pilots and FA's get nothing this holiday.

Well, if there's one thing I've learned in the last few years it's that ASA is what it is and will probably never change! This is my last week at ASA and leaving is going to be a welcomed change. I took a gig with the DoD working on the C-17. The pay isn't that great but the benefits are. One of the main reasons I'm doing it is to finish up my degree. They offer 75% tuition assistance, and a much better schedule so I couldn't pass it up. ASA always wants you to do more with less and cut corners...Why? Because "That's the way we've always done it". Nothing will change until the whole mentality of the company changes and they stop promoting dirtbags into management positions who are just mere clones of the idiots before them. I was optimistic when we were bought out by SkyWest but it seems that nothing has changed...just more of the same deceit and mismanagement. I wish you guys the best with your contract and hope that things start to turn around so that it becomes an enjoyable place to work not just chaotic and filled with hate and discontent. ........Fly Safe

This needs to be emailed to Jerry, et al, and BL and ask for comments.
