Comair's gone and ASA's code has been redistributed and is operated by their competitors. Pinnacle's acquisition came with huge pay cuts and scope which is void if they try to renegotiate their pay. ... quite a different outcome than the result of Delta's acquisitions of NWA, Pan Am, Western, et. al., where acquisition meant better pay, bidding and career opportunities. Sucks not to have a single solitary 77 seat jet on the property. (in ASA's case a 120 seat had just left the property and remained in their contract). Completely different outcomes for ALPA members.
Yet, if Delta furloughs we flow down to these airplanes. So, what then? Would a Delta pilot flying for Compass be left out of a merger? Of course not ... just seems stupid that we discriminate this way.

I mean is Delta flying 747s because ASA flies CRJ700s or does ASA fly CRJ700s because Delta flies 747s? Or did Delta decide to fly L1011s for ASA 29 years ago or did ASA decide to fly EMB-110s for Delta 29 years ago?
So is it discrimination based on how PWAs are structured or a system based on the fact that Delta Air Lines owned the place and ASA was the hired help for the little stuff?

The latest crew planning update for July? Basically we'd ideally like to hire for the NYC MD88, but we aren't authorized to hire so we'll just displace NYC7ERs.

They are sure paying for it in the ATL320 category. A sizable portion of the captains will be well north of 300,000 this year. I've already made more this year in 6 months than my entire last 12 months as an RJ captain.

first of all, don't call in sick unless youre sick. are you sick if you get hit by a car? no. you're injured, which is not the same as being sick.
don't be a thief.
