You guys are all way, way off.
First off, with reference to other DCI carriers not striking to help Comair...Other Delta conn carriers can't just strike. That's not how it works. There is an entire process that a union must go through laid out in the Railway Labor Act. One must be released to strike. So ASA, or any other DCI carrier couldn't just strike in support.
Secondly, the "we saw how Comair went without support" comment (I didn't quote or say names because it is not my intention to insult anyone, just set the record straight) Comair went through a strike and ended up with the best contract in the Regional World. Period. Best pay, a defined benefit plan, better work rules, etc. I'd say it went pretty well in the long run. now before someone warms up their keyboard to type.... let me put the "yah you'll get the big pay, but then they will shrink the airlines" arguement to rest. Comair was about 1,600 pilots at the time of there strike. They did furlough a few and many quit, but I understand that they are slightly bigger then ASA today (about 1,800 pilots) so it would seem that they not only returned to there former size but grew. They only took a paycut do to the Delta bankrupcy, and still there wages, retirement, and work rules are better then most. Any Comair guys out there please feel free to correct my numbers.... best guess from memory
Finally, "If ASA strikes they will just transfer that work to Skywest" That one is by far the most incorrect statement. Infact, it is 180 degrees out of the truth or reality. Currently (ASA not on strike, but in negotiations) Skywest Inc. can have skywest take our routes, even some of our aircraft. There are some potential things we can do to stop that, but that is another topic....
If we were to go on strike, that would then become struck work, and their are provisions in the railway labor act to help the striking union on that.

Moral of the story.... The Comair pilots stuck together and won. Period. The ASA pilots are firm in their comittment to a better contract. And, just for the record our strike ballot was 92% in favor. That is a fantastic number. Whoever told you that it has to be 99% or it's not good is historically incorrect. Our 98 contract was 89% and that was a huge victory which helped us earn what was at the time, an industry leading contract.

remember, information not insults......
