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.
Thats provided that you guys vote in the TA....5 very good friends of mine are lineholders at ASA and they arent voting it in....they also told me that the captains they have been flying with are voting it down as well.
voting it down will not be the end of the world for you guys....u shouldnt settle with the first chance u get anyway. The ball is finally in the courts of the pilot groups....management will soon be powerless without us...take a stand for whats right....none of us get paid what we are worth
As far as your 900s go? i saw 3 brand new CRJ-900's parked on the ramp with your new livery in CLT last week....the tail numbers ended in LR.....in case any of you new hires dont know what that means...it means the aircraft are registered to MESA
If you guys do end up getting 900s....you just better make sure u get different payscales to go along with it...and dont back down!!!!
