Recent captain Awards within the last 2 months at ASA...
57 CR200
32 CR700
10 ATR
I'm not a cheerleader for ASA in any way...however I think there are way worse places to work.
Something must be going on for all of these upgrades. If someone says it's to replace the guys leaving for other jobs I believe that is incorrect. We are already way over staffed on the CR200 captains.
Yes, I know we are getting 12 CR700's from Cinci. (If we didn't get them someone else would have...sorry guys). Skywest stole 8 of our 70's so a gain of 4 70's does not require this massive upgrade amount.
A brief history of my career at ASA...
EMB-120 upgrade 1.5yrs
Could have done the ATR just under 3 yrs.
CR200 upgrade 3.5yrs
CR700 upgrade 6yrs 1 month 10 days.
Yes, I'll be reserve forever... But I will not be at ASA forever
I have no idea about the contract... It will be done when the company wants it to be done. I'm not going to predict anything. I do know the quality of life for reserve will be 10 times better without going into detail.
Hope this helps clear up some B.S. posted on here about ASA.
