Cant' give you any personal info, management reads those posts.
Tought the same thing you did a few years back.
Things got worse since.
We will get that contract, only if we get released by NMB an we threaten to go on strike .
The chances of being released are so thin, that I would not count on that.
Give me one good reason, why the NMB would release us?
In waiting, the pilots are ****ed off and operational performances disastrous.
When you are in ATL monitor 130.15 our MTC freq, you will hear how poor our reliability is.
The company is still making money, but Big Delta is tired of US, and it wont be long before we get the boot out of Atlanta.
I think it is exactly what skywest management wants.
they will blame the pilots then and bring their non union labor and asked them to work for cheaper wages in exchange for growth.
I wouldn't be surprise if you see no growth at ASA in the next years with a bunch of aircraft or flying transfer to skywest.
Scope is the most important section in our contract if we want to survive.
But then, who cares, everybody is bailing out. Skywest pilots are so gung ho on remaining non Union and singing kumbaya its not long before they are gonna get shafted Mesa style.

look a the facts, open your eyes: 3 bases closure in the past 3 years, the all ATL ground force got laid off. Half of our mechanics on the ramp have been transfered or resigned. with the travel benefits gone south, Most F/As are going to resign because they can't afford to commute or travel.. G.O moving to the Hangar, I wonder how many are going to be laid off as a result. And An ASA management telling us that we are doing great and feeding us lies.
If they could bring cheap labor from overseas and replace us all, they would do it in a heartbeat.
They love new hires, because they work for cheap.
I will repeat for the new guys, think long and hard before joining ASA.
