Rumor is TSA is the buyer. Discuss...

How do you merge tub stackers with pilots? Would training in wanding, tub stacking, pilfering, and general harassment be via CD?
 
We'd have govt issued uniforms and unlimited access to passengers' luggage.
 
That would explain the absolute silence from the MECs following the meetings on Monday and Tuesday. I don't buy the rumor though.
 
If it was just the LXJT side of the house it would be great news and poetic justice...
 
Makes a perverted kind of logic, Mama UCAL sells XJT to the Mo's to see if they could shave some cash out of the pilots pocket, BH only has skills to take money from ignorant Kool Aid drinking pilots. Mama UCAL gets frustrated, decides that their next try will be the Mumbai Mafia, Hulas has been oppressing pilots for 2+ decades, gonna let him have a shot at his style of oppression. Hulas thought Nazis were pu$$ies!

Once Hulas starts on your "white devil" azz, you will dream of sitting right seat at Peeknuckle.
 
But nerjet, I thought you and most LXJT hate Skywest too? Wouldn't you like to be liberated from the SGU shackles?

Yeah,
Right out of the frying pan and directly into the fire....
 
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
 
The way I heard it, DL wanted to buy ASA back, and Jerry said HECK NO! Its a package deal, all or nothing.

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.

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.

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.
 
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.
