It's amazing how simple some of these people are.

EARTH TO YOU

ASA is losing, far more than they're gaining.

Enjoy you shiny new jet...and wave bye bye to twice as many

I wonder which is better...
A) Getting 900s and parking 200s on a 1:1 basis now (Comair) or
B) Getting 900s and parking 200s on a 1:2 basis in a year (ASA)

(or C... Getting 900s then losing them to another ALPA regional next week)

The 20 planes are just being pulled from DCI operations. ASA owns the 20 so after the spring of 2010 we can use those 20 planes for any other flying we can secure. We might not be able to find any other flying but at least there is a chance. The 200's are not just going to be parked. All this info was in one of our latest emails.

Good luck getting old POS 200s on with another carrier. Whatever your MGMT tells you to help you sleep at night.

I was just making a point, no need to be a tool. I am 22 from the bottum so I am probably screwed anyway.

My guess is that your percentage is off. What more do you want to know? Either way it will have to wait til tomorrow.
