Unfortunately not. We have shrunk. SkyWest took 4 or so 700's and an untold number of 200's, probably around 10. Add the 8 700's from Comair for a net loss of around 6 airplanes, in addition to 12 ATR's we are losing starting this summer. Not to mention the broken promises of 900's that were originally marked with ASA stickers and reg's, now flying in ATL with SkyWest stickers. Add the closing of the beloved SLC base.
ASA is much better under SkyWest management. I'm very happy to be owned by SkyWest and have a SkyWest president now at the helm. But to say that we have grown is not true...definitely have been shrinking.
Our new scope clause also allows SkyWest to keep taking our airplanes, and I don't feel the language is strong enough.
