Not a bad guess.

However,

What would be Delta's logic in placing more 70s and 90s with ASA? I'm not certain that ASA would be all that much cheaper than Comair, and I doubt that ASA would be able to consistently operate them 'better' (however that would be judged) than Comair; why would this happen?

Where/why would United need more 50 seat lift? I thought the 50 seater was on its way out...

Delta's logic if this happened would be to get rid of more 50 seaters with another 2-1 deal. That's the only reason I'd see them doing it.

Geez dude, easy! I don't think he said he wished or hoped that would happen, and I certainly didn't detect any glee from his post. Seemed to me he was simply conjecturing what may be happening. I personally haven't heard about ASA getting anything from Comair - and I am 100% positive that not ONE SINGLE ASA pilot wants to take anything from Comair!

People are just having a conversation about what is happening these days. I'm sure 777 didn't mean to p!ss you guys off.

Thanks for putting that out there. My statement was just a hypothetical guess of why the original poster's rumor may happen.

And that has to do with our contract with DAL and min. block hours in the agreement.

You seem to be more in the loop of things. I'm a little confused since the email said it was an increase of flying due to more demand then originally thought by Delta.

I hear a lot about people complaining about how there is undercutting and a desire to progress one's career at any cost. Isn't that the core of capatilism? Isn't it by definition a system based on competition? Competition at any cost? Wall Street is the core of our financial system and there is no greater place of bloodshed outside of war than our financial system. Go for the throat, close the deal, and cash the check. Most people have some kind of stock holdings. Even your basic 401k is a mutual fund of stock, bonds, and securities. The only way to grow money is based on this. Pilots are a labor group. I hear all the time how we should stick together and not let companies do what they do which is try to make money at any cost. Yet, do most people have any idea what stocks there 401k or mutual fund money is invested in? Do they know the companies? The banks and drug companies which are as unethical is it gets but we all hold some kind of stock in them hoping to make some money. What about foreign investment? What about big US companies that have a good portion of their holdings in overseas factories where labor is basically slave. It is terrible when one company suffers for any reason and the labor group has their lives changed for the worse. Pilots are particularly at risk because it is a special skill set that does not transfer well to other vocations. Unless one has a side company or a very well off spouse then they have let their passion for flying become their vocational padded cell. When you add the pros and cons of a seniority system then you increase the risk visibility to a livelyhood. The fact is that in order for some companies to grow and achieve and make for better opportunities for the labor to benefit another company must suffer. Capitalism. The worker of the world unite rhetoric is what they screamed in the 1917 revolution. Socialism/Communism. So, which is it? Which system do we want? Answer... whichever helps ME. That is our true nature. Me-ism. The junior guys complain because their heads are always on the chopping block and the senior guys tell them to be quiet and stop complaining as they hold on to what they have. How many junior people would truly be diffierent in the other's shoes and vice versa. Companies like RAH are a cancer to the industry because they have questionable ethical practices. They worm around scope clauses and they pay bad. If anyone was making tons of money from that company or benefitting in some way would they complain and scream for change? The other RJ pukes hate them because they lose flying and jobs etc because of them but most would work for them if given a chance. Most people work at RJ companies to get to a better job at some kind of branded flying major. They give up good seniority at a bad company for bad seniority at a good company and hope to stay. It is a gamble like buying stock. Capitalism. As Captains on a puke jet they want more flying for better schedules, advancement, and job security once at a major they want to see less flying given to the RJ puke company for better schedules, advancement, and job security. Unions are anti-capitalism. They are idealogically closer to socialism/communism. I am just ranting. Here is a question. How many pilots bought into oil futures during the meteoric rise?

Do you think you could use the enter key and create some paragraphs next time so it is readable?

You could have saved yourself a lot time and just wrote "I heart Mesa"..

Seems like the scumbags are the major airlines (that most want to work for) that encourage this behavior for their benefit. RAH, MESA...etc have questionable ethical practices....try UAL, DAL, USairways...

That Comair will hate ASA at year end. That is what they are saying at RGT this week. (SH), I had a BTR management mechanic on the jump seat last week, tell me that at night they are inspecting Comair 70's and 900's and that they are suppose to come to us. I hope this is not true. Hang in there Comair, but he said it has something to do with the LEX new ruling..any info.......

Seems like someones from your company likes to start this rumor about twice a year since we were forced into BK. Please don't saqy hang in there we can read the gloating. Starting to get sick of ASA pilots attitudes.
