Future Prospects Ahead for Legacy ASA

[Flyguy1226]

Ok. So I'm going to crawl back into my hole and continue dying.

Might as well. Hell, even Brad has given up on his weekly updates. At least I haven't seen one in a while...

So... when is this USAirways flying coming?

Thats for SkyWest only....

 

[Flyguy1226]

I heard the GoJets rumor too. The reason for them having staffing issues is because a large amount of their pilots are furloughed United and United is planning on recalling them next year. GoJets sucks!

Today was suppose to the the first GoJet flight for DL out of DTW... All the flights got either canceled or replaced by other DCI carriers.

Good Job Delta! F'ing idiots!

I know it would never happen, but wouldn't it be awesome if no other carriers accepted the flying and pick up the slack? It would ultimately be better for EVERYBODY. Too bad somebody sees the short term gain only.

Maybe I'm late to the party, but has anyone else noticed that our new uniforms are spec'd exactly like Skywest's? I recently saw a Skywest FO and noticed the color of his strips and how they go all around the sleeve. exact same as my restriped blazer. Buttons are the same too. Throw in no "new name" and the wing design almost the same. Hummmmmmm

If I was management, and the end goal was "One" airline, this would be how I'd play it.

God.......we really are grasping for straws aren't we? Any good news, any rumor that explains the seemingly retarded actions of this company is considered.

Maybe they are just retarded. The rednecks in ATL are really in over their head.

My 6 year old daughter laughed at the name SUREJET.....

Brad just put an update up today. Seems like he also answered the question that is the title of this thread too. 37 seat jets coming back from the desert?? ouch! What's next? is the Dash 7 service coming back too

Ahhhhh yes more growth on that side while we in ATL, IAD and DTW continue to get tea bagged.

Its a surprise that United would rather have 5 135s instead of 5 200s that ASA had available

Ask Brad why the shrinking of one side while the other side blows up! Send him a quick email on the easy to use "brad" link in his weekly message. I did and will repost what he says, unless I'm fired then I'll post pics from Vegas!!!

It's no surprise to me. ASA continues to circle the bowl and the GO continues to sing Kum-ba-ya.

Remember CAL owns those 135's. They control what we pay and I'm sure it was cheaper than the 200's..

Guys, dont get so wrapped up with legacy Expressjet getting contract extensions and 5 airplanes. This is good for the bottom line of Expressjet. Understand this, management wants us to be divided and to throw the other side under the bus and have to fend for themselves. We need to look at the big picture, and focus on getting an industry leading union contract with fair and equitable seniority integration that works for all. We have much bigger fish to fry than to worry about this. I am legacy ASA, and yes I am disappointed to see some of these happenings of our company but I also see the big picture and realize what is good for all of us. On a side note, there are quite a few items in the Transtion and Process Agreement that may or may not preclude where growth airplanes go in a situation like this. For those of you legacy ASA'ers who might not know, Legacy Expressjet is still using a different dispatch software / system as well a different method for weight and balance. Even though we have achieved SOC from a regulatory perspective there are still significant procedural, accounting, and operational differences between the ERJ and CRJ sides of Expressjet. All of these items could dictate how and where gowth airplanes go. Lets look at the big picture, focus on whats important, and not put the cart before the horse.....

hou757 is right. CAL has been paying the leases on theses 135's since they took them out of service.

Add some hair gel and oakleys and I say we merge this bit&%
