Default Asa

Besides the fact that people think they may shut down, why not go to asa? The work rules seem to be alright. They pay is competetive. I am trying to decide between a few regionals, and would like some help. Thanks in advance for the info

I work at ASA, I like it! The first year pay is not that great but hey its only a year! If your thinking of coming here get your app in now so you can have a ton of people below you in senority real quick! There hiring 40 a month right now! Classes start every two weeks. PM me if you have any questions!

I have jsut talked w them in the last week. I am just shy of 500TT, but have over 100ME, they are hard on that 500TT,if you ve got it great, their 1st FO pay sucks. But after that they are right up there with the top ones. I dont think that they are gonna go anywhere, but who knows. ATL is fun city. Whats your flight time??? Good luck!

ASA is up and down. Basically find an airline that fits you. ALL regionals suck. I dont care who you talk to ALL regionals suck. Some suck more then others (Mesa, GoJet). So find a regional that is stable and you will have a good QOL. I am at Comair and like it, it fits me some will tell you Comair is bad. What is good for one person is bad for another.

I have 650TT and 60ME, I have received an interview invite from comair. I don't think that would work for me though. ASA would be a really easy commute from florida!

Would it be a good idea to put your app in even if you cant take the job just to get seniority?? I am going to school right now and wont be done until Jan. Should I put an app in anyway?

Usally, you don't get your senority number until you start class. So if you're thinking about interviewing and seeing if they'll let you have a class date after you graduate, it wouldn't affect your senority. However, I don't think it to soon to start submitting your applications. Just make sure they know you can't start until January and why. Good Luck.

As far as the 500TT regionals go I think ASA is probably near the top. They do have a somewhat uncertain future so if PIC time is your goal you might be wise to either wait another 100 hours and try for XJT or switch to another regional once you get the time. Who knows, they could be the next hot upgrade but it doesn't look like it IMHO

You have to be hired and have a class date in order to get a senority number. Your date of hire is your first day of class.
