Useless ASA Scope?

[GearUpLightsIn]

It was pretty much a one liner very much like I wrote above. Not much that I can elaborate on there. But it is just the highlight real of the TA.

You all are over thinking it. SKYW can take 40 planes tomorrow then walk into the ASA break room and say "who wants to go to SKYW we can only take 35 crews worth"

The pay at SKYW is better even with this POS offer. The scope is better at SKYW. The pilots are happier at SKYW. The growth is at SKYW... You would have no problem getting volunteers.

Elaborate please. What keeps DAL and Jerry from placing the replacements where all the other replacement pilots have been sourced?

Nothing.

He may be overthinking it, but you have thought it wrong.

The pay will not be better at Skywest. Skywest has no scope. Not all the pilots are happier at Skywest, probably more than 50%. If one leaves ASA, he should be following the crowd to Delta, UPS, FedX, or SouthWest, not latterly to another commuter airline that still flies props and has a Managment Team that makes John and George looking like Sunday School Teachers. It is what it is!

Now go back to your Chief Pilot's office and wait for your retirement.

according to another web site....

SkyWest sent around a memo to the ATL CRJ900 crews advising they are looking at west coast flying and not sure how this will effect ATL staffing. The SkyWest employees to be told more once their scheduling is figured out.

It would be nice if the failed ploy used by SkyWest to intimidate and harm the ASA pilots was now reversed and SkyWest run more rationally.

ASA longevity carried to SkyWest Airlines or other SkyWest, Inc., subsidiary;​

transferring ASA pilots will retain ASA longevity at SKW entity for pay, vacation, and​

all benefit purposes

But would bid at the bottom of the new list, correct?

No, absolutely not. Seniority on the Skywest list would be determined by the Allegheny-Mohawk process. It would probably be D.O.H. or something very close to it.

Fins,

Thanks for the update. This is no surprise. However, maybe they should give us the West Coast flying. It would make USC Trojan happy.

Good luck in your new venture and never forget where you came from! You will always be welcomed in our crew lounge.
