I've never heard that before. If it's true I'd be VERY surprised.
The LAST thing I'd call an ASA pilot is a primodonna. We know we are the red headed step children of Skywest Inc and every action by MGMT demonstrates this. We are flying part of the largest fleet of obsolete crappy RJ's.
Maybe it's because unlike EVERYBODY ELSE we seem to have this one base in ATL and there is a false sense of ownership of it. We close EVERY base we open due to lack of support and incompetence of MGMT. IAD will be next......watch.
We've been here a long time and done most of the DCI flying here. Now we see Delta parking at our gates, and other DCI carriers are chipping away at "our" flying. Not the other DCI pilots fault, but MAYBE that's it.
Or MAYBE it's from being around Delta pilots in the terminal. We've learned not to bother to look at them. There will be no nod or smile from those guys. Are you sure you aren't thinking about Delta pilots instead of ASA?
I think its because we are so overextended. That has NEVER been the norm until the last 2 years. Too tired to wave is more likely. Not a great excuse but that's what I think it is.
Pissed off and overworked maybe, but not primadonnas!!!!
