Is this equivelant to hanging out at the bar and "putting out the vibe"

Classic quote. Nice job.

It all sounds like a pre-announcement to me.

What do they mean by "super regional carrier"?

Does super regional equate to sub-major?

I would like to think this is part of a larger effort or plan. If not, it is a bit of a disappointing waste of resources. Then again, the marketing folks (as well as all those not directly involved in the generation of revenue) need to justify their jobs now and again.

So we can return to our normal agenda of name calling and Rick Rolling, right?

Yes. It is. And whoever designed the new logo---it's a ripoff of the US Coast Guard and Cessna logos...that is if they just had sex and gave birth to another logo. Tell me I'm wrong. Maybe this means we're getting boats?

Sounds ambitious.

Patiently waiting with an open mind. This could mean something positive for the future.


FWIW, however hopeful we are for the future, it would be helpful to reference question #11 of the FAQ document:

11. We just got new crew wings and emblems with the "ASA" logo – are we going to change those again?

(addressing the process of acquiring new wings and emblems)
...
We will use this opportunity to ensure we gain the most competitive rates from the vendor we choose...

It would be helpful to remember this concept as it applies to mainline 'partners' selecting carriers for contracts. I don't really see anything new in the business plan, as laid out today, that will make AS more competitive from a financial standpoint in the regional lift market.

Remember, though, that we own the red box.

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.
