Do ya think ASA CEO in DENIAL?????

The press release gave five specific primary factors for the loss. Yet the internal memo cited integration costs instead. I think the internal memo is just them trying to manage our expectations for the upcoming contract negotiations and the press release is them trying to manage the investors/stockholders' expectations.

OK thanks.

The rumor in Wasatch Valley is that a local airline will be bidding on a Memphis based regional, once the new Mesaba and turbo props are spun off.

No dual-qual without a significant increase in pay and quality of life.

Did anybody else notice that all of the employee comments have been erased from ourasa?

Yep. I guess their skin isn't as thick as ours.

What's funny is that no one at XJT that I have flown with or talked to cares about managements problems anymore. No one cares to go the extra inch that they use to, no one cares what the write ups are, no one cares. Even the senior lifers, including chief pilots, are preparing to leave. There will be no JCBA at XJT without significant increases to both QOL and pay so there will probably be no JCBA for several years. That won't hurt the pilots of XJT one bit, but it will certainly cost ASA and SKYW. And yes, if SKW manages to close ASA/XJT then that is that, we move on with our lives.

Pretty accurate.... Why would we vote in a lesser contract when ours is good as is. And I see all the things you describe every week. I'm honestly seeing more unity in the XJT pilot group than I've seen in a long time.

You are just a blue collar union worker, your opinions on corporate strategy do not matter. You are stuck with us whether you like it or not. You can go back to school, climb the corporate ladder, and work your way into a position that allows you to make such decisions. That or you can post irrelevant opinions on flightinfo.com based on other irrelevant posts on flightinfo.com.

I see XJT as the only chance we have at having a union

Welcome to the party !
Remember when I was saying this months ago?
You were so optimistic then and now?
A pessimist like the rest of us.
I guess something has drastically changed? What was it exactly that made you flop? under staffing, re assignment, jr manning, fly now grieve later, no coffee,
5 legs on the last day, ORD.......
It's all mind over matter professor, If you don't mind, it wont matter HA Ha ha..

Just glad I will never have to fly with Joe Merchant!!! I disagree with every single thing he says!!! Let's cut loose all the guys who believe we should not ask to make a good living while seeing our kids more than one day a week!!! Hey Joe, how about management does just a little better job running this place that has become a joke and we can all do better!!! What is wrong with that logic??
