I think the ASA crj is losing money, hence the merger. Rates were lowered just before/after the acquisition and continue to be. Being attached to ASA is like arranging deck chairs on the Titanic with Uncle Rico steering us into an iceberg. Love their talk about "economies of scale" and "power pricing because of our size" yet they then say we cost to much blah blah blah FUPM
