Jerry Atkins stopped by our groundschool class to chat last fall(ATR peeps in jetschool) He said ASA payrates are not a problem in regards to the high cost. The linebidding system was the problem, especially at the beginning of the month due to the conflicts. He said that was costing the company a ton of money.

They are trying to get ASA inline with SKW cost wise. PBS maybe one of the final pieces to the puzzle.
