That's a big negative. Personally I don't see ASA hiring anytime in the near future. Even a single recall before 2011 looks very unlikely. It's all we can do to keep from shrinking right now. DL has been consistantly offering us 2:1 900 for 200's but the company hasn't taken any because that just sets us up to shrink more. Taking the first 2:1 was a huge risk that luckily worked out with the United contract, although we still have 6 homes to find for 200's. Most will agree one of our biggest problems is we have way to many 50 seat airplanes that no one wants. Our goal, as I hear it from management, is to work towards flipping the fleet to mostly 65+ seat aircraft. That process is going to have some pretty painful times unfortunately.

With that said, we could somehow end up with some more airplanes from somewhere and things would be totally different staffing wise. The only thing certain is change.
