Even more ASA flying to go to Skywest

[OARfan]

Just had a senior Skywest manager on my jumpseat going into St. George this morning. We started talking about the timetable for EMB retirements. I was concerned that there may not be enough new RJ flying to replace the EMBs and he assured me that the new growth would be "more than adequate" to compensate. I pressed him for more information and he told me that with the 22 new RJs and the 4 ASA 700s that will be transfered to SKYW each year, that there will be more than enough opportunity for a quick upgrade on the jet. I guess it was a good thing for all of us that the union was voted down.

Are you being serious or just an a$$hole? You seem happy about the possibility of ASA losing flying to Skypest. Pretty pathetic. You leave ASA for Skywest, claim you are pro-union yet all you is bitch them, volunteer for ALPA events during the union drive then say it's good ALPA was voted down. Figure out what you really believe in and stop talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Was it necessary to put the happy face in the title? Also I doubt this is true since it would make no sense to trasnfer flying. I think this was just another attempt to start a flightinfo fight.

I'm surrounded by ASA turncoats! cbrown1 how's that 900 treating ya?

 

[OARfan]

You guys are just jealous that skyw is enjoying success and that ASA is on its way out. I wonder if ALPA is going to pay your mortgage when you union thumpers drive your company into bankruptcy. And yes, the smiley face was necessary!!

Do you get ***** when thinking about flying a big RJ the rest of your career? Have fun with that. I bet you have a big picture of Jerry Atkin hanging over your bed and dream about him at night!

Skywest is not getting any more -700s from ASA. I'm amazed that this "senior manager" didn't know something that was already so well known. Sorry to burst your bubble on that one.

If it's on the internet, it must be true.

Christ, I've never seen more patently obvious flamebait.

And that's saying something on flightinfo.

Oarfan has like 10 posts . . . clearly someone is having fun at ASA pilots expense.

(Nice avatar though. If you like boobies. Which I do. But not man-boobies, just to be clear)

i would just like to say kudos to OARfan. He is probably sitting on reserve looking for something funny to say and the reaction that he got made me laugh histerically. Nice work and the happy face was the icing on the cake.

All I can tell you is what the man said. If you guys want to keep your head burried in the sand, not my problem. Flying a big RJ is a good job. Would you rather go to delta (or wherever else) and get furloughed when the mergers take place? Would you rather sit on reserve for who knows how long long in some god foresaken base like lga or Ewr? Give me a break. The "thrill" of flying a "big" airplane will wear off. Fact! When it does you're still going to be the same slackA## grumpy bast$$$ that nobody wants to fly with. Enjoy your job or quit. Life is too short.
