This would be a great score for ASA pilots!!!! ASA could really use the growth, since the loss of all the ATR's. Delta wants to keep the flying spread around, and with Pinnacles potential union issues and negotiations, they may want to protect the MEM hub, much like they did when moving more Comair, Skywest, CHQ, Republic and Freedom into ATL during ASA's negotiations to protect themselves from a possible strike.
Look for the announcement soon after the merger is complete.
And who did you hear this from? The brother of the the the guy that has a friend who walks the dog of the guy that works at the coffee place that the guy who cleans the carpet for the guy that cleans the car of the guy that works at ASA.
