13 posts and you got us figured out?

If you think this is a bad place, feel free to go somewhere else.

This is your opinion and I'm glad you’re excited but keep in mind that a good TA doesn't make a good airline, a good airline makes a good TA (i.e. SWA & UPS). Do you think you would have gotten a TA like this one if ASA had been purchased by MAG? Don’t be naive; No, you would not have. You guys will see that JA and CC are good men; you guys belong to a good company.

Much like the thought process when it comes to our passengers; “where we go.............they go.”

Where they (SKW Inc) go................we (SKW & ASA) go!

de727ups is that sarcasm in your signature or is that you?

Don Eikenberry = de
In the article he says he sat sideways in a 72 = 727
He works at UPS = ups

2 + 2 = ?

I'm not much for useless sarcasim, though, I surprise people once in a while.

My sig line is copied from jetcareers, where I have written a profile.

I have sat sideways and in the right seat of the 727. I'm currently a 7576 Capt at UPS. Too lazy to change my screen name.

I've had several friends (and one roommate) go off to ASA with mixed results. The dissenting opinion comes from a kid who got tossed on to the -700 against his will. In all honesty, he's not in a bad spot, he's just not a fan of sitting reserve forever and a day getting bumped down by -200 drivers bidding over. If I knew then what I know now, I would have gone there instead. But too late now. The "other" roommate has been there awhile and works a schedule that would be a pipe dream to someone with the same seniority number at RAH. The biggest problem everyone had with ASA was the lack of a contract...once they have one I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you want to go to Delta. ASA is to DAL what XJT is to CAL.

The only real issue I have with ASA is that their owned by SKW Inc. That's not a flame against you SKW pilots...it's a fact of life that your parent company owns two airlines operating on two contracts with two seniority lists...eventually those two are gonna clash (if you don't count ASA losing both it's bases on the left side of the rockies...in which case they already have).

wow. i have to take back the black cloud comment now. most of the replies are logical. no kool-aid for me (used to be delta for 9+ years and got my fill). just calln em like i see em. anouther big plus is the scheduling dept will actully work w/ you(ask what days off you want, if called for reserves you can ask if there are any more junior pilots that can pick up and they do it). btw reserves is almost non existant for new hires, some do not even do a month.
