I talked to one of the inventory guys and he said he was told to do a inventory but doesn't know why. However, he suspected and has known that Delta wanted to buy back ASA and stated that to be the only reasonable explanation for his Assignment. My guess an announcement is in the near future. Just thought I would pass this information along.

OMG! OMG! The Delta buying ASA back rumor is confirmed!!! Now where did I put my popcorn:D!

A Delta purchase will likely mean a merger with Endeavor-- not good.

Currently all of them are, but that can change with every class, although it shouldn't take long to get where you want to go.

So these were Delta employees doing inventory of Expressjet property? And you spoke to one of them personally?

It's true. He spoke to a Delta employee who heard it from his cousin who writes free lance news articles, who found a link in an e-mail about cheap Canadian viagra that had a janitor who cleaned the GO at night.

A few questions if someone could answer:

1. How soon could a new hire expect to be awarded CLE?
2. What fleet is based there?
3. Is hotel accommodation during training single occupancy?

Thanks

I know apparently 9E has a bid in to do some 700 flying

Kilroy 11-28-2015 08:03 PM

Yes to both questions. I spoke to him personally and he is a Delta employee.

Horia,

It's been about two years since I went through training, so I'm not exactly sure about the accommodations...

As for getting CLE, it's our smallest base and very senior, but you can put that as your "number one" choice on your wish list and hope to be put there. If not, you could always trade with someone looking to get out of CLE...realize if you get placed there, reserve might be awhile. To answer your last question, XJT only operates the -145 out of there.

Pm me if you have any more questions
