Atlantic Southeast updates?

The 30 Mesa USAir 900s?

Using ASA's current staffing model, the 450 number can't be right. If we are getting 30 new aircraft, they would only hire about 4 pilots to staff them.

Heard in the Chief Pilot's office 300-600 new hires. SH mentined 450, which is the avg. We better start finding some airplanes.

How long ago have they been saying these numbers?

might be for attrition... isn't big D supposedly hiring 300 or so this year and 50-60 per month thru 2011???

And three of those pilots would be on reserve!

Why would Delta want to sell Compass or Mesaba? Two less regionals to have to pay for flying, since they already own the jets?

Any chance of getting a call anytime soon if you were in the pool from 2008? Pipe Dream?

If any growth for ASA were in the cards, we would be hiring now while simultaneously recalling all furloughs.

I would expect enough 'new " flying to simply replace that which we were going to lose. Skywest has a little pilot fat in their system for many reasons. Big flying will be going their way, if any happens.

Move along people.

Move along.

I doubt it. If ASA were experience half the growth OO saw, ASA would cheaper on the block than SkyWest. I wouldn't be surprised to see at ASA next.
