However, I'm very skeptical about this type of rumor. Because it seems to pop up every year and nothing happens. In fact, every time this pops up GoJet seems to get a better deal. They're going to lose 700's. Nope, now they're getting 7 900's and all is well. But they suck in New York, lets give them a Detroit base. There are weird things going on right now like Endeavor MX doing Express Jet MX, and the fact that they're bringing Dual class aircraft to New York. And I've heard from management that there will be two less Delta Connection carriers next year. Wait and see, but don't hold your breath
Things are getting quiet and strange at ASA. EDV mechanics are coming on our planes in DTW just to "check on things" when nothing was written up (2 seperate occasions) and we have mother Skywest MX in DTW. We break down in LGA and the first instinct I hear is to call EDV for a part and not wait for a part from ATL (the old norm). Sharing part of the ASA crew lounge in ATL and rumor was sharing part of the ASA hangar in ATL but mgmt put damage control on that. We also have very few parts on hand for the 7/9s that are left to perform heavy mx and c-checks. Oh and this place is falling apart. Something appears to be afoot
