As well as Mesaba and Compass, though I suspect somebody is getting merged into someone else.

Anyone involved in any high level meetings would not discuss such things to people outside of the need to know basis. In addition to opening themselves up to huge liability issues and possibly putting their job on the line, they already know that anything discussed at that level is confidential. If this person is stupid enough to discuss that outside of the boardroom, then he/she is a complete moron.

I boil this one down to a pipedream on someone's wish list at best.

This does not need to become a SKW vs. ASA thread! If ASA gets CR9's then those in more important positions made the decision, not us peons. ASA deserves them just as much as anyone else and a MEM base would do their pilot moral wonders. But, I do think DAL's 76 seat/85K MTW scope clause is almost spent. That is unless DAL gets additional airframes for mainline pilots (I think it's a 4:1 ratio).

Don't believe rumors until the a/c are on property.

This is about as likely to happen as the topic of this thread. Unfortunately, the days of 3 DCI carriers are over.

I could be wrong, though. I have been known to make a mistake every now and then.

truman sparks, no one is buying into your sad and pathetic attempt to take a stab at the pinnacle pilots. so you heard this during the week huh?? well you just posted this 2 hours ago in the pinnacle thread

Over at ASA, we are not hiring or growing, are downgrading Captains and possibly furloughing in the fall. Please keep informing us of your good fortunes as you grow in our only base for our only partner.

Ps. It's funny how we lost so much flying and couldn't get any growth while we were negotiating a new contract but Pinnacle seems to have no problem.
your sad attempt to stir the pot is just that. an attempt. there was no meeting. you chose memphis because you are mad at the pinnacle pilots. sorry about that. the pilots have nothing to do with management decisions. move on, or get out.

right right right,, you heard that rumor during the week, but didn't put it in the pinnacle thread! LOL you are funny guy. and there are several good bbq places here in mem, you should come look at a crashpad i am renting since you will be moving here soon. although you might be working for pinnacle when you do come here!

ps. sorry if you are getting displaced.

Yummmmm, but not the best I've had. Good thing about MEM is that you can get good to great BBQ on any street corner and in the APT.

I love MEM overnights but I could NEVER live there, maybe and I said MAYBE in one of the smaller surrounding cities but not in MEM. My sister-n-law lives in Germantown, TN; she move there from closer in for many many reasons.

I my mind there is only two good things about MEM……………….BBQ and Cost Of Living.

that is the truth man. i live just outside collierville and would never even think of being in the mem city limits. you guys used to stay at the holiday in downtown huh. that is a good spot. you got beale street around the corner, rendevouz downstairs, and a nice movie theatre and shopping mall close by. downtown memphis is pretty nice. just dont venture out to far.
