To small and senior to be profitable but woohoo you got flightline!

Except that the ASA side will soon be growing, not shrinking. Don't worry, we'll let your furloughees flow to the bottom of our list. Again.

I can neither confirm nor deny that a meeting will be taking place in October.

I also can neither confirm or deny a meeting has or is taking place in Herndon with the EB.

.................... What company do you work for? Cause the 7/9 is definitely not overstaffed... It's "min coverage" day all the time. Maybe we can say we are correctly staffed right now.... for at least the short term as long as they can keep shrinking as fast as possible.......................................... .................................................. ..................................... Also this thread become ridiculous.... carry on idiots

hmmmm who knows maybe I am wrong. Every time (this month) that I try to drop/swap/DAT VACA etc it has been denied do to low coverage. That said, if reserves are just covering unexpected scheduling issues and being used sparingly then it would seem that we are properly staffed. It's not really the point of reserves to be covering known flying. Wouldn't you just rather have them build more lines in that case....

Let me know how many hours and or days you fly this month... seriously, if its less then 40 hours and or ten days I will bid reserve for November/ December and you guys can have an extra line.

Nope, Delta is going to reacquire ASA and merge them with Endeavor. Then you'll be able to fly all the 900's you want. Whatever happens, I can assure you ASA is not going to grow. But keep dreaming
