My prediction and other "high-up" employees predictions is that ASA will take deliveries of the 900 and start flying it out of ATL to replace the ATR. If that happens, along with the new contract, ASA will truly be one of the ideal regionals to work for.
Sorry to tell you this, the 900 is not that neat. I would rather fly a 900 that only said Delta on it. Also, not to be rude, but ASA is the step child of SkyWest. JA would rather see his baby grow, than ASA. With gas being as high as it is, losing the ATR will only hurt Delta's bottom line.
