I think this goes to show that whenever Inc. needs to trim jobs they are going to do it from the ASA side. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Skywest doing some of our flying that we can't cover this summer due to understaffing. I'm not mad about it, I'm just finally coming to the realization that we are the whipping boys/girls for Inc.

I wonder how much money Inc. would have saved if they had trimmed the fat at the management level? Do we really need two seperate management groups? There has got to be some cost savings that can realized by sharing some of the duties between the two groups.

Unless they find a home for at least 10 of the CRJs we are losing they won't need us at all in the spring/summer of 2010. In fact they'll probably furlough more.....
