Whether they shift them to SKW or not is another issue, but i doubt that, seeing as it was a pain to get SKW out here to ATL, logistically speaking. Do not be surprised if a new equipment announcement is made in the next six months.
Bringing SKW into any city is easier than almost anyone else, "logistically speaking." First we have the man power, second we don't have as many “hoops”
to jump through, third DAL Ops and ground personnel were already in place, fourth SKW already had & was certified for the a/c and SKW is willing to go anywhere.......anytime.......for the right margin. Don’t forget that when DAL or UAL has need us we’ve been there with very few problems. And don’t bring unions into this, DAL wanted us in CVG around the time Comair went on strike, JA & Company didn’t want anything to do with that! We aren’t flying ASA routes in ATL, it was additional DAL flying where as CVG would have been crossing the picket line. We won’t do that regardless of whether we’re union or not. Jerry’s proven this!
P.S. Not that it should matter but I feel I must repeat, I voted for ALPA.
