Someone in another thread mentioned the letter that was sent out to those of us still in the ASA pool. Here is the entire letter verbatim for those who are interested:
"This letter serves to inform you of Atlantic Southeast Airlines current training needs for the upcoming year and to update you in our new procedure for processing background checks. We are presently beginning the retirement of our Embraer Brasilias and replacing them with the Canadair Regional Jets. Seven EMB-120s will be removed by the end of February 2003 and an unknown number will continue to be removed from the Atlanta system throughout the spring of 2003. Current E-120 crews will transition into the new CRJs as we take delivery. Due to these circumstances, we do not forsee a new hire class for six months, possibly one year. As you know, the aviation industry is a versatile one and this forecast is subject to change. We will keep all of your information on file and contact you when we resume hiring. Please keep us updated with your current address and phone number, but it won't be necessary to send updated resumes until a later date.
Due to the recent changes mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration and Transportation Security Administration, we will now be required to process all background information immediately after a pilot has been accepted into our pool. What this means for you, is that the Pilot Records Improvement Act (PRIA) forms you have filled out, will be sent to current and former employers before you are awarded a class date. This process will go into effect Feb 1st. Any inconsistencies with your background may be grounds from removal from our pool. You will be contacted by ASA if such a situation should occur. ASA still requires a 100 hours of flight time in the last six months, we encourage you to keep flying while you are awaiting a class date. For further updates on our company hiring status, visit our website at www.flyasa.com.
Sincerely,
Captain Julie R. Ellis
