It's a little off topic as well but that ASA Today message about the Skywest INC numbers on revenue, flight loads, ASM, etc made me wonder a bit. I wonder about all of those increases in flight statistics and how much of them are a result of ASA. Not to be that "I feel like the red headed stepchild" guy but I have only noticed the block hours going down at ASA. INC saw an 8% increase in block hours from the same time last year but ASA has had 6 50 seaters on the ground getting refurbed for a month or so and we are around 150 pilots shorter than last year. It doesn't seem possible for ASA to be flying more than last year.

I think that PBS crap will work great for the company. All the pilots that voted in favor and forgot about the reserve guys, that have been sitting with no change for 3 years now, will find that the company stuck both ends of the stick in shiznizzle.

PBS was a concession all around. Fortunately for the very bottom of the group it couldn't get any worse.
