ASA furloughed because Delta cut our flying and transferred it to Pinnacle, Compass, Republic, and all the other DCI carriers we must compete with. At the time, Delta was our only mainline partner. SkyWest does mostly business with UAL so they weren't as affected.

Did any ASA flying go to SkyWest during our furlough? NO Did they ask for concessions to get the pilots back? NO. This was not whipsaw. End of story.



I really don't need a history lesson, I'm aware of what happened. As I said, he walked away once, and he will walk away again. If Jerry suddenly changed his mind about one list, he wouldn't have gone to the pains of setting up ASA to buy you, he would have just done it with INC. There's your biggest sign!

As for the swords, we don't have swords out, we have shields out. You are the one with the sword. Like I said, we don't need 2800 rabble rousers coming over here and thumbing their noses at the hand that feeds us. So if that's what you guys intend, just tell Jerry no thanks, and take your chances alone. That's all I've got.
