Gentlemen I'm going to clarify something because I believe the anger muddled my point...I guess you don't understand why I don't necessarily wanna fly with someone from ASA. I lost 1000 numbers on the integrated list. Pretty shocking and quite infuriating.

I know ASA lost a lot more (like the whole damn company) and I am actually very empathetic, as I've said. Sucks. Really does to have something like that happen and have to either uproot what you've built in ATL or be forced to move on. It would **** me off too. But, with my experience in dealing with the ASA side I can say in all honesty, I don't like y'all as a pilot group. I wish it wasn't like that. I wish the groups got along better, but the reality is they don't. Quiet hatred as I stated. And that all starts from the top and MEC...

Imagine you're building a house and you get the walls up and the interior installed. Its coming along nicely. Hasn't been easy, but its building a well earned home that you can live in for a long time. Now imagine that home that you worked so hard on being partially knocked over by a bulldozer. ASA pilots are the bulldozer and the company is the drunk driver. My career thus far in a nutshell.

Sure, we can be some what civil to each other in the crew room, but put yourself in my shoes. The same shoes as the bottom 40% of the XJT seniority list. We'll never upgrade now. Never. And its more of a stomach blow to know that some ASA FO that couldn't meet Delta performance standards can come over and take my captain spot on the ERJ when in reality they don't deserve it. (I know it was more than poor performance, but thats for another time).

I would like a question answered. For real...Why would anyone from ASA really want to come to XJT? I've heard rough numbers that around 30%ish would come over in the end but why? Endeavor would be better and for the senior guys...retire or Delta. I just would like a real answer as to why even 30%ish would wanna come here with what you know. Even new hires don't wanna come here and they don't know jack about this industry.

I wish you all clarity and understanding...And SuperX...just saying "[I] need help" is not an argument unless your a doctor on your off days sir.
