ASA's Delta stuff got cut, therefore they were forced into a furlough. It really is as simple as that. And while the pilot groups at the two airlines remain separate, one will always perceive the other as being treated better because the circumstances will always be better at one of them. And they are not going to merge as long as one group is union and the other isn't. Also just reality. I just don't buy into that fact that ASA pilots are getting screwed by Skywest when ASA has only improved since the acquisition. Everyone just wants everything these days. This is the era of entitlement.
