ASA and Comair parking planes?
 

So I wake up this morning (4/22) to read the USA Today, only to see in the Money section (page 4B) that ASA and Comair plan to park about 70 of the -200s! No information about it is to be found on ASA's website, in fact, the last message from BH says we are increasing numbers, adding flights, and seeing new opportunities for growth. Once I saw Kit Darby's name mentioned in the article, I figured it was probably some of his usual tripe. That, and I usually don't believe the media unless they are reporting something that already happened. I can't believe I haven't seen it posted here yet, but has anyone else read this or any other similar stories?

"An announcement by Delta Air Lines this spring indicates how business judgment has turned against the RJs. Delta, which early this decade committed itself to operating the biggest fleet of them in the nation through its regional affiliates Comair and ASA, said it will dump 70 of those planes out of its Delta Connection operation by fall."

Re-read it. It doesn't say Comair and ASA are dumping planes, it says Delta Connection.

MCO is being greatly downsized, so whoever covers MCO for DAL can expect to see some of the cutbacks.
Scoop

Old News. Delta had annouced this a few months ago. Nothing new guys.

i love when ppl start these pointless threads with a question mark...get your facts straight and then start posting...been happening a lot lately here

Do you propose we all refrain from questions completely, then? The only dumb question is the question that isn't asked. But, I guess you have all the answers now, don't you...You smart guy, you...:rolleyes:

I was trying to think of something to say but I was just to tired to be witty. Thank you for covering for me AB.

Yeah, my apologies guys. They mention ASA and Comair at the end of one phrase before mentioning the one about "Delta Connection" losing 70 jets in the other phrase. And I did so well in Reading Comprehension in middle school.... I bet those planes being parked are from Mesa/Freedom. Any way to delete this thread before raising anyone else's heart rate?

The 50 seater market is dead.

Not if you're in my class... There are lots of dumb questions asked.:confused:




Repeatedly.:mad:
