Read the UA flight attendant contract. Not possible for UA to own majority in any regional. Just more rumors to keep the sheepel in line.

According to my sources within the union, and management, your claim is false. Neither ASA nor L-XJT side has been approached in any manner regarding buyout by a major.

Delta wants us for we are a cash cow. Something will come out of it in due time with no time set though but we will not go out of business his words. And to this day they are still negotiating the buyback but skywest is just playing hardball. He's thinking two or three more years it should be resolved and reemphasized we will not go out of business. For those still stuck at ASA your job is safe for those who want to stay your job is safe.

Yes, I'm SURE someone under confidentiality agreement (and anyone with knowledge of talks this high up would be) would divulge this info to you casually. Not to mention possible SEC violations. Yeah, I'm sure.

Troll level 1, drooling elementary school playground bully.

Best wishes to all at ASA. I have many friends there, both current and escaped, and you're a great pilot group. You deserve better. I hope you all make it out soon. Everyone I know who has left that place has found a better job, with more money and better life satisfaction. Don't wait until it's too late.

So Delta wants ASA for $.50 on the dollar, then if you know anything about Skywest management you know they will only sell for $1.25 and the good pilot group at ASA will shrink to nothing.

Neither their scope section nor their scope LOA has that restriction.

Its not going to happen. They require their own fa's to operate all UA flying by any companies or alter ego companies that UA has controlling interest in. It's in the LOA on page 367.

If ASA is such a cash cow why wont Delta buy them for more than 50% value? Seems a bit odd dont you think?
