very nice ASA!

Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) handed in the worst performance in July across several categories measured by the government.
A subsidiary of SkyWest, Inc., of St. George, Utah., the Atlanta-based regional airline operates as a Delta Connection carrier.
The report, released Tuesday, shows that in July:

• 16.7 percent of ASA's regularly schedule flights were late 70 percent of the time. That was 76 percent worse than the next worst performance and more than five times worse than the average of the 20 airlines covered by the report.
• 4 percent of ASA's flights, or 528, were canceled - the third highest percentage after American Eagle at 4.4 percent and Delta Air Lines subsidiary Comair at 5.5 percent.
• ASA had to highest ratio of mishandled baggage complaints of any carrier, or 15.45 per 1,000 passengers. That was more than twice as bad as the industry average of 7.33, but actually slightly better than in July 2006, when ASA had 16.9 such complaints per 1,000 passengers.
• ASA had the highest number of involuntary deboardings because of oversales at 4.76 per 10,000 passengers, or more than tree times the industry average.
• ASA denied boarding to 4.07 of every 10,000 passengers, again the highest ratio in the industry and more than four times the industry average.
• ASA had the third highest ratio of consumer complaints at 3.01 per 100,000 enplanements, after Comar at 3.41 and US Airways at 4.37. The industry average ws 1.98, or nearly double the ratio recorded in July 2006.

Must be pilot error.

late checklist...

The enhanced-safety-operation reminds me a little of Dumb and Dumber:

"Let's trash the place, send 'em a message!"

"Uh, boss, I'm not sure they're gonna get that message."

Anyways, best of luck to you folks in getting your fair contract.

 

[PositionandHold]

We can't be held accountable for the mishandled bags.

 

[rightseatjocky]

Lmao....... Classic

The pilots can't really take credit for this. Most of the bad numbers except for departures and arrivals are out of our control. The real blame is the way things are run.

That is a fair assesment of ASA. Maybe we should rename the new "Hangar", "I Got Worms" in honor of Lloyd and Harry.

Heartbeaker!

Yep, it would seem to be a real heartbreaker-

Can't do nothing about denied boarding, overbooking, or mishandled bags-all these things are beyond our control. Check with DAL on those things!

As far as on-time, we have no control over our schedules-we regularly see 5 or even 6 leg days in and out of ATLwith no more than 45 to 50 as the longest break of the day. That schedule is the total responsibility of whatever idiot in mgmt thinks that things always go according to plan.

If we are unfortunate enough to have the slightest mx problem, we are going to be late all day long-our schedules allow no room to catch up. After a while, you just have to get comfortable with the fact that this place sucks-it sucks long and it sucks hard! These guys actually design our days to make us late, then blame it all on us! I can't help it when planes break, and I'm not about to risk my safety or that of my pax flying around in a broken, unairworthy airplane!

-It is a real heartbreaker!

P.S.- Skywest knew all about all these problems when they bought the place. If the mgmt of Skywest doesn't care enough to fix anything around here, why should I care? It is now their airline, it is their responsibility to provide us with schedules and airplanes that are capable of getting the job done! Skywest mgmt is where 100% of the blame resides!

Let me just tell you how proud I am to be a part of one of the worst airlines out there(insert massive amout of sarcasm). The ONLY advantage to being at ASA is that people hate being here so much that the attrition stays high and that keeps the movement up. The flip side to that is that what good is seniority here when they build such piss poor lines that even the most senior folks get crap 4 days. Our management must be some of the most inept, clueless bunch of real airline rejects out there. The sad thing about it all is that this place could be a great place to work, but until the GO is gutted of our sorry excuse for leadership, nothing will change... Oh well, time to update that resume'...

 

[Oakum_Boy]

This sorry ass place. It's pretty much a laughing stock. My job, that is.

"I think you might have a panel open", Ground we need to go back to the gate and have them close it after a 1 hour wait in the money line. Good luck, I still have many friends at ASA since they are not capable of flying DAL pax at mainline even though they are capable of flying DAL pax at ASA.

Let's not forget weather, MX, A/C Swaps, General Mismanagement, the concourse shufflle, and all around buffoonery.:bomb:

You want a bet?

I was listening to flight control yesterday after departing ATL. There were 2 of our crj's in the money line. The second one called the first to tell him he was watching something "looks like white paper" falling from the left engine.

The first guy calls up to ask if he can still take off. Dispatcher (sounding a little perplexed) says to ask MTC. So, the first RJ Capt. (with something falling from his left engine) tells MTC "I'm number 2 for takeoff and all my gauges are normal. I'm ok taking off if you are ok with it". WTF??!!!??

Of course MTC said "if your ok, go ahead" and off he went.....wow.

As somone recently said,
