Pinnacle to bring 50's to the ATL mix.

Looks like 9E is bringing CR2 thru ATL to do flights to FWA starting in March I believe. Oh goodie what's next?

Welcome to Atlanta. Waddayahav? Copy dat!

And ASA can't do those flights why???

It's funny how they say they are adding flights to ASA through Boston and DCA, but that lasts for only 1 month and goes away. Then Skywest flies 50's out of ATL, now 9E. ASA consistently is the loser when it comes to who flies where........

50% of our 900 feet is flying out of SLC till Jan 5th. It's been a operational nightmare but it's what Delta wants. Don't read too much into it other than Delta will be playing three card monte with the sub contractors, for the foreseeable future.

ATL GSP
ATL FWA
ATL TYS
ATL SGF
Who knows why
Comair and Freedom are doing a TON of flights out of DTW this spring

Trust me. Nobody wants your Atlanta flights.
FWA and TYS are 9E mx bases.

This may not want to be what people want to hear, but Delta Air Lines is the one who owns that flying and can do what they want with it. It is just business, no need to "blame" Pinnacle or any of their pilots.

ATL GSP
ATL FWA
ATL TYS

These are some of the others.

Trust us....we don't like ATL either!

I don't recall anyone blaming 9E pilots here! Sensative much?

ASA pilots get upset with DELTA's decisions because we ONLY have ATL and we get pushed out of our only home by companies that fly from and are based at multiple other cities!

Stop by our lounge. Popcorn on us.

Could not have said it better myself!!!

Except the popcorn part. The fat 70 captains will have devoured it all before the last kernel pops.

Sounds just like MEM or DTW....

 

[meyers9163]

I guess I did not realize that ASA own DELTA's flying.... Seems like Delta can give whatever flying they want to whomever as long as block hours are met..... Why are you ASA guys crying when you just gained UAL flying etc? Should you not just be happy that Skywest brought you all into that party? Looks like some ASA pilots are the sensative ones on this forum and not the 9E folks.....

Just to clarify, you only want to do turns out of ATL? Or are you upset that you're losing the "good" routes out of ATL to others?

Either way, could be worse. I'll trade your ATL/IAD bases for JFK/CVG any day. 78% of our JFK 4-days are worth less than 20 hours. 300+ on furlough.

Oh, and to all the DTW guys, CMR flights dork up the works because we have no guidance from our company on how things work up there. each pilot gets to learn through trial and error. (and our MSP charts don't show us where circle 95/79 are, either)
