Post ASA Updates???

Anybody heard any good rumors? Or any updates on future aircraft, hiring, upgrades, etc.?

-I for one heard ASA is getting Frontier flying out of Denver.

-Cinncinnati is going to be opened as a base soon.

-Virtual basing is going to be implemented soon.

-900's are coming fom someone who just cancelled an order.

-4 more 200's are on the way.

4 more 200's on the way and virtual bases are the only ones I've heard. Frontier flying is a new one.

I ve heard that:
- Cinci will be a base by the summer
-We are getting 4 CRJ 200s and will be used taking over some of the Freedom flying in Florida
Havent heard:
-Frontier flying
-Or CRJ 900 aircaraft getting delivered anytime soon

Who knows though it s all a guess, but all in all ASA aint a bad place to be....

You'll probably get a CVG base about the same time we get a BOS base here at Comair. Honestly, your base would be pretty small if you opened up a CVG base, wouldn't it? You don't do a whole heck of a lot of flying out of here in the grand scheme of things.

Probably about the same time we get the E170s we were promised to get from the pay freeze 3 years ago (pre-bankruptcy and pre-concessionary contract). Of course, we never got anything in writing.

Dangle a nice shiny airplane with a few model flight attendants in front of pilots and they'll do anything. That is management's best and most lethal weapon.

So to answer your question, not anytime soon.

I believe reductions out of BOS were recently announced for the summer (?), someone posted the link in one of the other threads.

You are correct if there was a base in CVG , it d be pretty small, like I said its just what has been heard around town that s all, we are doing CVG-BOS flights this month here at ASA, before it was just DCA-BOS.....
