"The move means Delta will likely have to add a large number of employees at the Atlanta airport, although the company said it has not determined how many. A Delta executive said he expects the "vast majority" to come from ASA's operations."

Regardless, that's not what the ASA employees are being told at the roadshows. And quite honestly, most of our below wing employees wouldn't make the cut at Delta due to attitude or drug problems. You don't get Delta quality when you pay your below wing employees $6 per hour.

Although, it might be a precursor for you losing other things as well.
