If he is in CLE he will never hold a line . CLE and IAH are most senior.

Wrong. Take a look at the bids if you work there. 2011 CLE hires holding hard lines. IAH 2011 guys have been holding them for awhile.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while!!! "Technically" ASA has ERJ's, not the other way around. Sorry.

So you are right, ASA doesn't have ERJ's...."technically" Skywest does.

You did hear "Acey," the combined callsign of the new company "Expressjet." The name ASA will cease to exist in 5 weeks. Go back to the original post and explain to me how the fleet mix isn't relative to the question of somebody looking to get hired by the new Expressjet? He's not getting hired by the old single-fleet type XJT.
If you don't have a "A stick in the pile" then its best not to act like an ASA guy disgruntled that the name ASA will cease to exist next month. When newbs are talking about getting hired at "XJT" they really mean XJT/ASA. Stick to things you know.
