No word on any other stations...as of yet but should be forthcoming in the next few weeks...very interesting. With Comair winning AVL, who knows what's next?

Mesaba already has ground ops in TRI and CRW so if I was a betting man.......

9E had ground ops in AVL, too...I don't think it really matters who has what at the current moment, depends on who Daddy Delta wants.

TYS, for example, currently has 9E and Comair...one has to go. It could be both and Mesaba could come in and take it all over..who knows.
I wonder what will happen to the MX facility at TYS should Comair win? That's a nice hangar!

If it's as nice as the Mesaba hanger in CVG, it will sit empty.

yeah all the ASA people are out, too. Comair is taking over for the delta side of things, I just hope most of the good folks at AVL (don't know their names but definitely know their faces) can get hired on by Comair.

Good luck with that sinking ship:rolleyes:

[quote=mohaupt;519271]I just have to laugh.... If you work for ASA I would be very worried?


I doubt any of the ASA employees that work at up for bid stations are laughing very hard.

The other 18 ASA stations will find out in mid-Jan I wish them the very very best, Because there going to need it. I would not be surprised if they lose all 18. Delta is looking at just about one thing money. And Comair Pinnacle operate very cheap because they dont pay there employees very well. After those 18 stations are done, Big Daddy Delta will will look at more. I would not be suprised if in 2 years all ASA will have is Pilots,F/A Mtc and the G/O people.

Yeah well that was property of MAIR Holdings and didn't get transfered in the sale to Northwest, hence why the Big Sky 1900's were being stored there. But since MAIR holdings is defunct, it is and has always been KCAB owned. They want a hefty sum to rent it out. We've tried to get them to drop the price, but Delta doesn't want to pay it...yet.:rolleyes:

Just because you don't have ground ops, doesn't mean you have to leave your mx facility. Comair no longer does ground ops in MCO, but we have a mx facility. The same goes for GSO as well.
