I'm a little late on this one, but those are some sharp looking airplanes; especially the branded one!

We didn't "take" your flying. We bid on flying CAL took from you. If we didn't fly it, some other regional would be.

It's just like you didn't "take" ASA's LAX flying...you bid on stuff that Delta took away from ASA. They were far from "keeping the gates warm" as ASA had been in LAX before that whole 69 airplane deal was even a dirty stain on the mattress.

Quit grasping for straws to somehow rationalize the GoJet situation...

WRONG!!!!!!!!! It came from the ASA pilots. We had a base here that opened and will close on June 1 when Xpress Jet takes over. I wouldn't use the word steal...... It is more the fault of Skabwest and Jerry the A$$ Atkins playing strong arm with us while we are in contract negotiation. this is our 3rd base closure in 3 year

update: ooooppps.....never mind. I didn't notice the the NEXT button. I must be tired.

I acknowledged in this post I made a mistake and dojetdriver had corrected me. I forgot that ASA had opened LAX after closing SLC. MY BAD:o

sounds like its time for "another" strike vote? asa's pilot group is so weak its depressing. stand up for yourselves and dont let skw make you look like a$$es

stop accusing people of being scabs. how would you like if i said in the event of an ASA strike, i wouldnt be surprised if half of you crossed the picket line?

XJT replaced ASA in LAX because the 145XR's performance was needed and the ASA CRJs weren't cutting it. I just read this somewhere.

I'm not a fan of the new livery, The new font looks nice, yet, I like the look of the old widget, blue and red; and I wish there was more blue, running evenley down the A/C . . . How much money do ya think Delta now has to spend in this image change? I would guess LOTS!!!

I looked at the UPS newhire list for 2006 and 2007 to date, Found one Go Jet in the 282 new hires.

Not true. The LAX base wasn't there that long for ASA. The 69 planes deal was a little over a year ago. XJT starts LAX flying June 1st and it would have been sooner if XJT would have had planes available. It sucks for you guys at ASA believe us WE KNOW all about it. At least none of you guys had jobs on the line because of it. In all sincerity i wish yall the best at ASA and hope yall get something going for you soon!.
