SKYW selling XJT?

[SSDD]

The way I heard it, DL wanted to buy ASA back, and Jerry said HECK NO! Its a package deal, all or nothing.

 

[Mr. Johnson]

The rumor I heard was DAL made an offer

Delta lost money on that turd once before, plus Delta has a better management team now than when they last owned/sold ASA. I don't see them making that mistake again.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

why would they buy a company who's flying is almost 75% for UAL

Huh? To take control of a chunk of their regional feed? To take control of a bunch of pilots for the shortage? Why get into a fare war, when you can eliminate the competition by buying and controlling their feed? How many Regional pilots of any sort would turn a job at DAL down to go somewhere else?
Pilots are a necessary component to move very expensive equipment.
It's starting....

If its true, which I doubt, this is the reason. Interrupt a competitors feed and staff your own company.

They have no way to buy XJT. No way...unless they're given it for free.

 

[XPOO]

Usually when something seems too good to be true, it most always is. I know Nevets would love to work hand-in-hand with the GoJet pilot group to help stop the whipsaw. Plus, any 70-seat growth TSA was looking at for themselves would now instantly be XJT's by rights to first refusal.

Call me a masochist but IF it meant that the ASA/XJT/TSA/Compass/GoJet pilot groups would be on one list, I would be open to it. That's a big if though.

Youd rather work for uncle hooley? Something is wrong with you

Maybe but only under one list. Otherwise, no.

 

[rjacobs]

HELL NO. You think this place is run bad under ASA leadership, this place would implode in a week(or less) under TSA Holdings leadership.

TSA Holdings knows how to BARELY run a 25-50 airplane operation, there is NO WAY they could run a 250 airplane operation in the LXJT operation plus almost 175 airplanes that LASA has.

The headquarters building in St. Louis would literally EXPLODE.

The rumor I heard was DAL made an offer, SKYW examined it and said its not enough $$$$$ and they're still open to a DAL offer. Doesn't make sense to me, why would they buy a company who's flying is almost 75% for UAL

Unless Delta offesr LASA as a buy. Then staple us and we are all on one list. New hires go to the RJ until they can move up the chain of larger aircraft. No more middle management, BH, CT, etc...Then they can buy 100 seat aircraft to make tons of money. But this seems to easy and logical.

Yeah and you can merge with endeavor in the process

 

[Gulf-front]

You guys do like to feed the trolls!!!

 

[BOX OFFICE]

Delta buying ASA back and stapling them. Now that's funny.

Just for Joe I'd be all for a staple to endeavor

There will NEVER be a meaningful flow to DAL or a staple. NEVER. To think otherwise is a pure pipe dream and is completely delusional in every way. Complete fantasy. If you want a job at DAL- interview there!

Ding, someone gets it. Why would DAL do anything except require everyone to interview after all their current pilots bid for the captains seats. This will be an extension of the regional cornholing, reset every F/O back to first year pay, anything else would not make sense.

If you'd rather work under Hulas than uncle J, you've completely lost it!

True. At best it would be an Endeavor type deal. BTW, if DAL wants to spend money to steal feed and lock in pilots, they should look at Eagle also.

Also don't forget if this happened there would be no more 50 seat "contract" with Delta. They would own us and all our assets, and would immediately park almost every 200 we have.
