DCI Rumor
 

I heard this week in a meeting in ATL, Delta is thinking of putting ASA into MEM after the merger with 20-30 900's. Delta wants less 50's, so they may be pulling down Pinnacle 200's and replacing them with 900's.

This would be a great score for ASA pilots!!!! ASA could really use the growth, since the loss of all the ATR's. Delta wants to keep the flying spread around, and with Pinnacles potential union issues and negotiations, they may want to protect the MEM hub, much like they did when moving more Comair, Skywest, CHQ, Republic and Freedom into ATL during ASA's negotiations to protect themselves from a possible strike.

Look for the announcement soon after the merger is complete.

And dont forget we are hiring the Arizona State cheerleaders as our new FA's to work these new 900's.

And who did you hear this from? The brother of the the the guy that has a friend who walks the dog of the guy that works at the coffee place that the guy who cleans the carpet for the guy that cleans the car of the guy that works at ASA.

So what happens to Comair,Mesaba and Compass? I thought the wholly owned carriers were the safer of all the regionals with SUPER DELTA.

As long as Skywest ownes ASA they will never see the 900. All 900's that Skywest/ASA gets will be flown by Skywest.

Why do you say that? ASA had a 900 program in place before Skywest! Brad Holt has sent out memos that ASA is ressurrecting the 900 program as we speak. Why would ASA do that if BH has been told from Utah that ASA will never fly them?!? Didn't JA say that Skywest will concentrate on Western flying (and Mid-west) and ASA should be concentrated on the East flying! Isn't that why ASA was sent out of SLC?

Is ASA not qualified to fly a CRJ900?

Just want to know why you make such a claim.


PS....ASA is also carrying extra pilots for something "in case" it comes up.

SkyWest is carrying extra pilots in case something comes up too. Take it for what it is worth.

Um....no.

Straight from someone at the said meeting discussing future DCI moves post merger and post Freedumb.

First off you are trusting an airline manager. You said ASA HAD a 900 program till Shywest came along, there you go. ASA is way qualified to fly those birds, Mesa and Peenuckle should go away. Why does Skywest fly out of ATL yet ASA has not seen SLC in over a year. Skywest has claimed their turf and will not give it up. No matter what that airline manager has to say to keep ya'll happy. I wish ASA nothing but the best and can't wait for the day that DCI is Comair, ASA, and skywest again.

Now you know if they did that it would be time for...YouTube - Carnagetv.net Présent sexy party
