........Mark my words, EVERY DELTA CONNECT CARRIER WILL BE AFFECT BY THE REDUCTION IN FLYING! It just happens to be that DAL started in SLC, which is SKW territory, but soon it will be in CVG and ATL. 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 know many people here at ASA who like...maybe even love their job here 
. Dont take every word that someone says on here as the holy word. 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.

I am in the process of applying and wondered if you might know if it would be easy to commute from Indianapolis. I know ASA has about 3 flights a day in and out of here, but have you heard if many ASA pilots commute from this area?

besides ASA, there are plenty of S% and DAL flights, along with Airtran. when i was in initial for shuttle, i wasn't sure of my base, and checked to see flights from IND to ATL. there were somewhere on the order of 45 ways to get there. the majority of which were direct or 1 stop flights.
