Also, we traded 66 planes for 34 and then found homes for 22, so its just a small loss....for now.....
Only losing a few for now is the calm before the storm. Legacy ASA is going to shrink and become another Comair. Unfortunately, start-ups like Go Jets will get all the flying. Don't believe me; look at what is happening in ATL on the 6N ramp area. Silver Airways is quietly expanding their operation by flying old ATR routes for Delta. There were a couple of turbo props a few weeks ago and there were four on that ramp when we got to the gate the other day. When Delta receives the MD 717s from Air Tran and the CRJ 200s go away, there will be down grades and furloughs. I’m getting my Type and getting the heck out of here. Not going to be one of those poor saps that sit right seat for 10 years and see the airline go out of business because they can’t compete on cost with Delta backed start-up airlines.
