ASA received an internal memo today telling them about CRJ700's being removed from their fleets. Sounds like some are coming from ASA.

Correct, old OH jets flown by EV. From the talk of my buds over there, it is going to cause a major downbid, and many are going to lose their seats and or base.

Or maybe instead of having a company name we can change our logo to an upside down widget and be known as The Airline Formerally Known As Delta.

This GoJet announcement really grinds my gears.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but the scary thing is Hulas/Go Jets/ Trans State/ Compass has an order for 50 MRJs and 50 options for 70-90 seat jets. I'm not liking where this is going, first Compass, now Go Jets flying for Delta, while Delta has supposedly delayed its order for the 100 seat jets it was shopping.

You'll interupt the whining, complaining. amd kvetching. Historical accuracy should not be allowed!:D

Boeing? Bad! RJ? Bad! The only thing acceptable is an A321NEO delivered in 2018, and I only want to fly it on Tuesdays, but not every Tuesday, just those in months that have an "R" in the name. I know the BOD stated this as a fact because the MD88 CLCP said so, and it was confirmed by the 73N Fleet Captain that we were going to fly it to deep South America (even though it would run out of gas at the equator)! And all those Alaska routes where they carry 6 of our passengers with no revenue to Delta...we should load those up with an MD90. And even though jet fuel costs 3 times what it did in 2005 and 5 times what it did in 2000, our network shouldn't change! Send the negotiators over RIGHT NOW and DEMAND what is right! I don't care about the economy, my company's financial performance, my personal history, or that I _______(fill in blank with)
1. undercut mainline wages doing the same job at a substandard carrier,
2. Paid for training to buy my job,
3. Grew up on an outsourced RJ and hired on here at 26 and now complain about my birthright,
4. (Whatever floats your boat)
if management doesn't yield to my demands I'll vote in an independent union! That'll show them! And if the lawyer I hire to take me independent doesn't like the result, he'll help with a movement to take the new independent independent! Oh, and vote NO unless anything those weak negotiators bring back passes a single (pay, scope, LBP, etc.) litmus test! But wait, those negotiator guys have been doing a great job, I was just worried about a coup...

It's all so confusing. With management this bad it's amazing I applied here. Even more amazing is that a management this bad could be trusted to hire me! I'm the forum wisdom! I have a keyboard, hear me type!:D

whew, I feel better now!:p
