To me it seemed like a really bad business decision to beat it down to that level in the first place.

Bahahaha! Skyblow would never allow that kind of trash to infect their pilot group.

Since when did anything ASA did after the purchase make sense?

Things are not what they appear to be.

You should be happy ScumWest saved you from yourself! Where would you be without the Mormon Tabernacle folks from St. George? Ungrateful ALPA trash!! (Complete sarcasm, in case you missed it).

Thank you for that last sentence. I went from 0- to about 75 in the first three

“Absorbing”. This has already happened.. don’t you see all the EV tail numbers with SkyWest painted on the side.. and zero press announcement about it. The 700’s will be the same... Good luck to all.

Haha... I aim to please. It's a sad situation at XJT/ASA. The least we could all do is thumb our noses at the jagoffs in Atlanta and St. George, and laugh as this all falls apart. I left a few months ago, and still get the emails advertising red flag. It's only March, summer is going to be painful. It will be interesting to watch the operation sink as the ATL brain trust pretends to rearrange the deck chairs on the ship.

Don't know if you heard, but the St George leadership invited the MEC chairmen (ERJ and CRJ), to dinner a few months ago. Apparently they are concerned about attrition and the lack of pilots willing to come here. They asked for ideas. Wine came out my nose I was laughing so hard when I heard this during the call in.
Personally, I think they are primarily concerned about the CRJ side not fulfilling the DAL contract and Inc being held financially liable.
