ASA What Is It??

[i fly boxes]

does this mean you are buying pinnacle? Please do, our management team is terrible

 

[Oakum_Boy]

It means:

We aspire to be the world's most trusted and respected super duper regional airline flying every RJ ever built to all 57 states. How we're going to get there, is beyond anyone.

 

[JumpersAway]

I'm inclined to believe this is more than just hype. I'm with others here that are thinking this is a sort of a "T-off" for further announcements and growth. It doesn't seem that this airline posesses the type of leadership to blow hot air with no basis. Something will come of this- watch.

Glad to see there is an end in sight to the furloughs we have on the street. Seems to me we'll be getting them back sooner, rather than later. I suspect this to be "step 1" in the process.

So is Skywest going to furlough then because with you guys taking over everything in america, will there be anything left for skywest to do?

 

[MONKEY]

SkyWest has 296

Ok weird. How can they be so naive. 500 airplanes means they buy every other regional. Totally over the top and a mega liability for the leadership if it's just a marketing gimmick.

SkyWest has 296 aircraft. How many does ASA have? Inc may not be that far off.

 

[thesource]

So if this all happens:
500 aircraft, 50 states, in 5 years.
Forget Super regional. That would place Atlantic Southeast squarely as a
Major airline. The type of aircraft does not matter, nor does the size.
I should be able to expect about 150,000 a year on the 700/900.
Things are looking up for sure.

SkyWest Inc. has around 450+ airplanes. The problem (or not problem) is that the 500 number is the vision for Atlantic Southeast, and not Inc.

"Atlantic Southeast" has 160 aircraft.

I like the new colors. The only thing it's missing is an ASA CRJ-1000.

 

[ke4akj1976]

Q400 and E170/190

Q400's and E170/190 would really be nice.

Look out for the C-Series soon....





































...........at respectable mainline rates too. :smash:

The vision is for SkyWest to have 500, and ASA to have 500 as well...NOT to merge the companies.

Well, my "vision" is to have two hot Dutch chicks at the same time man.

That ought to bring back the furloughs...................

Be interesting to see how quickly things start to roll now that this is out in the open.

Who gives a crap about a vision???

• I want to be the the shortstop for the Yankees
• I want to marry the girl on the cover of the Vicky's Secret magazine this month
• I want to own a home in the south of France

It doesn't mean crap unless you actually deliver on some of it.

By the way I'm not close to any of my visions!!!

 

[bailout]

logo = butt ugly... looks like something out of the 1950s...

 

[urflyingme?!]

ASA TO BE NAMED KING OF ENGLAND! ALL MEN TO GROW MUSTACHES.

Hopefully you guys get something good though! ( Like getting the healthcare back)

I just love that your logo is "PMS RED"

Straight from the article:
About the new Atlantic Southeast Airlines brand identity

Color: Red is a historic color in the Atlantic Southeast brand. The shade, PMS 1797, is strong and bold.

Straight from BH's mouth at the meeting this afternoon: "The next time I stand up here there will be an announcement, but it won't be today"

I already know what's going to happen, just don't know exactly when it will be announced. My best guess is mid to late summer after the Mesa bankruptcy court hearing is complete and decision is made.

He also said that from now on the official language of Atlantic Southwest will be Swedish and underwear must be worn on the outside so they can check.

Isn't deciding on that stuff step 1 of the process? I know you're not happy at being displaced- neither am I. However, either way, it won't be long before we get our furoughs back, and get our seat back. Be a cynic all you want, but one way or the other, there will be expansion and movement, this year, at ASA.

 

[ASABound]

ASA Yankee quit your whining......I just talked to a Colgan FO last week in IAD and they are hiring and projecting approx a 1 year upgrade. I will be glad to get you hooked up with this guy who will be glad to help you out and walk your stuff in..... In all seriousness man we dont have it that bad at ASA even after you being displaced. You dont have it that bad I promise. There are guys at USAirways after a 25 year career who will retire out of the right seat of an Airbus 319/320/321 after being displaced from the left seat of the B757 in 2002. They will never see the left seat again!!! Grow up and take it all in strides. This is coming from a guy who has been displaced twice, been furoughed, and has seen his airline go bankrupt. Its not bad at all at ASA. Fly safe !!

Phase 1: New Vision
Phase 2: ?????
Phase 3: Profit!

Oh my god you're right! It DOES say "PMS 1797" red. How in the hell did that drip by the pad?! Does 1797 shade refer to the "hpm" (hemoglobins per million)?

PMS 1797 is nothing more than a paint code. Each paint used to be assigned an "FS" number, which stood for "Federal Standard". I'm not sure what this one stands for now. Somthing Military Spec, I'm guessing, since the military is what the bulk of airframe paint was/is geared towards.
