Skywest transferring planes to ASA?

[IHateDaley]

Ship 701 is back at ASA. Is this a swap for a newer plane to Skywest, or is something else going on?

 

[IHateDaley]

I believe the former 701EV is now N609Sk.

Probably ASA getting 2 of our old 70's back and Skywest is getting 2 of Comair's 70's that ASA is supposed to get next month. Why transfer 2 planes when you can transfer 4?

Or ATL needs for 70's and ASA will get all our old ones back from Skywest now that their union drive has failed.

Wow, you've got a future in management!

Nope, but we are getting Luscombe 8F's secondhand from an operator in Russia! Awesome! Those must be the ATR replacements! Expect an order of 250 of them soon. What are the pay rates?? It'll be easy for the gate agents with a max of 1/1 all the time.

Sweet! Treetop Flier!

I didn't say we weren't getting a fleet of Luscombe 8F's. Since the regional market is in a downward spiral, it's not surprising that ASA would attempt an exploration of the banner towing market.

Why would ASA recieve 900's, presumably for ATL based flying, when Skywest already has a 900 base here. It woulnd't make sense for Skywest to operate a base as small as it is, and then send some over to ASA. Would this signify moving the Skywest ones back to SLC and future deliveries to the ASA side for Atlanta?

Skywaste is pretty much done with ATL. There are only a few reserve crews remaining.

In a SAPA meeting at the end of last year, Chip said that in '08 we'd see the 900s 'trickle back out west.' he didn't say when, and he didn't say to SLC. so, who knows? LAX? 900s for ASA in ATL? who knows.
