ASA Captain Displacements
Everyone was wondering about the ATR guys getting displaced and the resulting CA overage. That's been addressed now with the latest displacement notice... 8 CR7 Captains and 29 CRJ Captains.

Any word on furloughs at ASA? I'm kind of surprised they haven't announced any yet. I thought they were immenent. It seems most other regionals have already done so. Is Delta not going to cut their flying?

Strong statement, not even I would say that SKW will not furlough, but my personal opinion is that neither will have to. I know, in detail, SKW Inc’s contact with DAL (for both ASA and SKW) and UAL and I’m certain that both will be fine. When it comes down to it, SKW & ASA are the most difficult and costly of DAL’s partners to cut, BUT only time will truly tell and don’t fool yourself………………it can happen.

We are not furloughing right now. 30yrs we never done it before but there is a 1st time for everything. I don't think ASA has ever had 1700 pilots at one time before. Hope the COMA lines will keep it that way. From all the e-mails it sounds like we are doing ok but as everyone says, only time will tell.

Just an opinion not a statement.

That is United we are talking Delta, they are 2 different airlines, different times, different management. Not saying that it cannot happen. I just think as of now it is doubtfull. But hell... I can be totally wrong.
