So sorry ladies and gentlemen. I only worked there for about 2 1/2 years, but the employees are some of the best I’ve been around. Keep your heads up, you should be proud of the work you’ve done over the years for Continental and United, and every other iteration of flying ExpressJet has done.

ASA was a first class operation with the best training in the 121 world. I’m proud to have been a part of it and am glad to say it has helped shaped me into the aviator I am today.

Great crews and team members at Xjt/ASA. It was horribly mismanaged and had inept union leadership. Yesterday’s announcement impacts many pilots, mechanics, flight attendants, and their families. While it is tragic, I can’t say it is a surprise that their costs were not competitive. Neither XJT or commutair are paid high enough.

I know you’re trying to help but this is just scummy.
Even Flight Instructor gigs have dried up. |
Very saddened and disappointed for my fellow jetliners!

ASA guy Sep 2000 to January 2008. What a great time. Brasilia then CRJ 200. Worked last two years in LCA department. Wonderful people all around. Some famous for their flying skills, some famous for their antics and some just famous because they shared names with famous people. Great CP Secretaries that kept us straight and new what paperwork to hand us before we even opened our mouths. That's how I upgraded. I walked in with a long face and Mary (I think that was her name) handed me the upgrade bid form.
Sorry to see the tent folded up. Go ACEY! |
Tom and Woody are retired... Preben is at JB..All great people

Great people, great instructors, great pilots. The three pilots that stand out in my mind are the Norwegian Hammer (can’t remember his name), Tom T (training dept), and Capt Woody. They really helped me become a decent 121 pilot through tough standards and great mentorship. I’m kind of an airline geek. ASA is one of the great originals and I’m very proud to have been an Acey pilot. A sad day in aviation. Good luck to everyone at XJT. |
