Here we go again! You know when it happens it happens...I'm so tired of having this die and then come back again, it's like the old days when everyone thought ASA and Comair would merge, did it, NO. Could Skywest buy us, Yes, will it happen who know's!!! Only time will tell.

 

[ohplease!]

the sign in the yard says "under contract". cross some t's and dot some i's, and it'll be done. count on it.

skywest will buy ASA, keep it as a seperate company on a seperate certficate and lower wages at ASA to forse Skywest to match the ASA wages or loss flying to the new ASA

Delta also is making progress toward selling wholly owned subsidiary Atlantic Southeast Airlines Inc., an operator of smaller regional jets, to SkyWest Inc., according to sources.

Those "sources," of course, being these very internet forums...[rolleyes]

I just hope they keep us separate until the Skywest guys and gals wake up and get ALPA on the peoperty.

That has got to be one of the most confusing sentences i have read in a long time.

Why? Because ALPA has helped you? In what way? Last time I checked SKYW has much better pay and workrules than you do....... The problem has always been that pilot groups' don't understand that it is the PILOT GROUP'S RESPONSIBILITY to stand firm, demand a good contract, etc....blablabla....So SKYW may be your only way to get a good contract.

Dont worry ExpressJet is going to buy both ASA, and Skywest. Someone told me that.
