Remember that the reduction in flying has nothing to do with the carrier just the profitability of certain routes. It’s just a matter of time before they start cutting flying with other regionals.

BTW, yes DAL is increasing their international flying, but no one wants to fly on Comair to Europe! LOL! Remember that Comair and E9 are domestic operations not international. Yes they can fly to Mexico or Canada but that's not really what DAL's talking about, they're talking about long haul with heavy iron. Also SKW has many new routes to Mexico.

Ok, now I see your point. Thus, the "imminent sale" of Comair which will affect the bottom line along with cutting unprofitable routes with all the connection carriers at some point in time. Hmmmmm...interesting.

Btw, is there a publication or periodical that has information what you just posted about SKW and other regionals & Majors that I can get my hands on? There's nothing like being informed!!!

I have come to realize the guys who hate their jobs are the ones on here ****ing and moaning. ASA is a great company. Commuting is hard, and also will make your life he**. It can be done, if you want to make it work. If you dont want to commute than try XJT or Skywest. I dont know how your building time but try to buy time or even get that CFI ticket.

So what is the flying like at ASA? Are all the flights out and backs from ATL? The route map looks like just about everything only goes to ATL.

It's mostly 4 day trips with 3-5 legs per day. Most of the trips are in/out of ATL but there is also some CVG stuff.
