Have you been hired by ASA?

[PositionandHold]

Management has made it quite clear that respect and appreciation is not part of the working relationship at ASA.

GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone please give me the name of a regional where the above is not a problem?

Better QOL and work rules doesn't come from telling people not to apply to ASA. Ask UAL guys how they did it in 2000. I bet you it wasn't by b*tching and moaning to new applicants.

I commute all the tim home to Colorado. I was on the jump seat today and Skywest pilots seem to think that ASA won't be around much longer any way. I guess that will answer all the questions if it comes true.

I'm sure it's a problem to a certain degree at all airlines. The problem in my opinion is that it is a spectrum scale, not polarized like you are trying to make it out to be.

That would probably be the only good reason not to apply to ASA right now. All of these other problems are at every single other regional right now. You can find guys complaining at XJT, Mesaba, AWAC, etc. The only guys who aren't complaining are GoJet because, rightfully, no one gives a sh*t about them and they know that.

GoJet, they are an airline? Wait, I think everyone should apply at the new airline in China starting up by Mesa. Now that would be an awesome thing.

I guess.

Whatever the case, management needs to put out. We'll just have to see what happens.

Just out of curiosity, where are you looking at going?

 

[rightseatjocky]

I am looking at Japan Airline, Singapore and UAE.
It's all about hiding your money, and not giving it to the government.

The Sept lines were just icing on the cake. Has anybody heard from the company about the DEATH BENEFITS fiasco at ASA since it was brought to their attention OVER a week ago???????

The lines sucking?????? Sure, that seems to be the norm at most airlines....but the DEATH BENEFITS stuff right now is ridiculous.

Why has nothing been communicated to ALL of the employees about this????? Now ASA is messing around with all of our families well beings with this.

ASA management...what are you doing to fix this????

What did I miss? What change in Death Benefits?

 

[rightseatjocky]

Yes, you don't get anything when you die.
He who has the most toys and money when they die wins!!!!

brilliant... seriously... what is the change?

 

[rightseatjocky]

Didn't know about a change until it was posted on here.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

The beneficiary to your Life Insurance policy is probably wrong. Check your account on OURASA.

Outside of the leather jacket and ASA company issued thong, everything you are trying to sell could be used by pilots at other airlines. Black pants, white shirts, telex headset?????

You got issued a thong?!?! Man, I had to pay for everything. Those cheap bastards couldn't even splurge for a lanyard for my id.

Touche. Really the only pieces that I have that are ASA specific is the jacket and maybe the hat. So, come one and come all to the "please help me empty my closet sale". I can only wear one leather jacket at a time and I'm starting to get a collection of them. Great jacket, I just don't need three of them.

Good luck on moving on. It is a good thing.

I've just upgraded last month (after 5 yrs) and have flown with a couple newhires (8 months or less) that think ASA is a great airline. They (both of them) feel that ALPA did not present themselves well during indoc, and think that this company is treating them well. They didn't sit reserve but a month or two, are straight from flight schools, and have a bit of a chip on their shoulders.

Having said that, the rest have been outstanding. Good aviation skills, well prepared etc... Most are greatful for a job; yet, understand that this pilot group needs and deserves a new contract. The other two didn't seem to grasp that concept. They were flight instructors that know it all. Neither showed one sign of being humble. Oh well, sorry for the rant and the thread hijack.

I predict that junior FO attrition will be very high.

Most of these rich kids will not put up with ASA once they realize that the job is work.

On a Captain's salary, I can't afford the BMW 5-series my newhire FO drives.
