If you took the time to look at ASA's financials then you’d see that they are a profitable airline. Yes, SKW will probably down size them but I can't see them ever totally liquidating them. Having ASA allows SKW to overlap the two airlines at airports where there current contracts don't allow them to fly. Example is LAX. SKW can not run Delta flight because of United, with ASA they can! It would be unwise for SKW to completely get rid of ASA.
Also, I'm sick of this forum! This was originally a post about hiring at SKW and it has turned in to an ASA post. This happens way to many times. If you wish to get off subject then start your own posting!!!
I currently work for SKW, we just received an email about hiring and SKW is targeting 70-100 pilots a month through March of next year.
