O.K. this is what I know (oh, as a point of reference I'm a 13 yr Capt at ASA)

I was in the crew lounge gobblin' down some xmas turkey and Brad Holt walked in. After a little chit chat, someone asked him for a good rumor. He said "why don't you tell me some, it's more fun for me"

My F.O. told him that he heard about the Vietnam thing. He looked pretty surprised and simply said "yes". I was shocked, words like "NO WAY" or "you gotta be F%*&n kidding!" He then went on to explain that he just got back from Vietnam and that Skywest Inc was definetly looking at this. He said that it would be 900's and the new C series. He said that pilots could do rotation (maybe 90 days) and keep seniority at ASA. We talked some more about tax implication, visa requirements, etc.

Either they are really thinking about this or Brad is the master prankster of all time!

Stick
*speechless* But if Skywest Inc. is looking into this why isn't Skywest part of this rumor then? Could this be the 1st step of Skywest and ASA working TOGETHER???
