Of course they are coming out of ASA's fleet!!! Look around......ASA is being diluted more and more every day. Delta wants to make ASA as small a player as possible due to our labor problems. Once we are the minority player in ATL, they will have completely insulated themselves from our crap. Skywest will have shown their pilot group the perils of unionizing, and everybody is happy.....except all the contract employees at ASA. Keep watching. Less aircraft at ASA, no new 700/900's. Comair will grow, they have a concessionary contract and are wholly-owned. Mesa and CHQ will continue to grow and replace ASA in ATL. Skywest will soon have more flying and a larger ATL base. ASA will soon be irrelavant, as will our bargaining power. The longer we 'hold out' for this industry leading contract, the more impossible it will be to get one, and ASA pilots will be left holding the bag.
My understanding on the 80% thing was that is already been below 80% for ASA for some time. Contracts can and do get broken or violated so it seems DL will do what they want, our performance based on our contract to DL is not being lived up to so DL appears to have had enough...I am making the assumption that our 15 yr contract with Delta states that ASA does 80% connection flying out of ATL. I haven't read the contract, but people seem to state that as fact. So unless they change the contract to SKywest Inc. etc. we still have that going for us. That has not happend yet. If SKywest and Big D were to do this so that they can transfer assets to Skywest Airlines that does seem to smack of an action by the company against the pilots here at ASA. I am sure the NMB can ignore anything they like, but that would be a hard one to ignore.
comair got 14 900's.. im the first to write it
