I think if you wanna commute on delta....they charge a fee for ASA....which to me is a bunch of bull....a former wholey owned has to pay to list for a flight but companies like chataqua and shuttle dont??? ***?

Anyway....the ATL is a great place to live....move down there...youll enjoy it....i miss atlanta....cant wait to move back....or at least somewhere down south

I am sure you will meet many others in the same situation. I am hoping to get ASA as well and will need a roomate to make it. Not sure if your single though so a roomate may not be an option for you.

Most of the up and comers think they have to continue to PAY for stuff, when it's an obvious union negotiated benefit. . .You know, RJ course payment, books during ground school, and now a fee for jumpseating.

This is just what we need, FO's saying "Yeah, I'll pay $10 to hop a ride to work. . ."

I think you guys are confusing jumpseating with non-reving. Delta pass riding policy has changed for ASA employees.. Its not the same as it once was. They are charging ASA now per flight to non-rev on Delta mainline.. A few emails have been sent out trying to fix the confusion. It was my understanding some guys were getting charged when they jumpseated on Delta.
