ASA Moving Expense Reimbursement...
 

Def. odd something like this would come out right now...

Hmm....very interesting. Perhaps something to do with the next round of RFPs?

rumor is a couple of bases are closing.

What Bases??? All we have is ATL.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the west coast United RUMOR.....

Or the DTW flying.....

Maybe we are buying republic

HAHAHA nooooooooo

remember not only pilots work at ASA. i have heard that some mx bases are on the chopping block.

I would be ok with that. I hate getting BTR or SHV overnights and they send you out there in a plane with a bunch of broken junk to get fixed.

That gets old.

LOL. That does sound terrible!

That was my thought. It's so pilot of us to think the world revolves around pilots and the memo must be for us. It was a change to the corporate policy, and may not even comply with our contract. It probably wasn't meant for us.

We've been told there is a mx hangar being built in CAE. I suspect that we will be consolidating a lot of the outstation maintenance bases (SHV, VPS, MGM, etc), especially at the places that ASA lost... like BTR.

Right From Scott Hall!
 

"My email box and text messages to my cellphone have been flooded this weekend with pilots asking where the new domicile(s) is/are going to be located. Part of the speculation was fueled by the emails sent out on Friday regarding moving expense reimbursement and relocation eligibility-HR policy updates via OurASA.

There are NO new pilot domiciles or virtual bases planned to be announced this week, next week or in the near future. I understand some of you want to jettison ATL as your domicile and we will evaluate possible domiciles/bases but right now this is not the highest priority.

Scott"

I guess that pretty much ends this debate... or does it?

now we get to start the debate about the second email he sent out.
the last front line employee meeting was pretty uneventful. is this
another congrats for your hard work with our busy schedule, or
something else?

pilots on furlough, the remaining outstations up for bid, possible maintenance consolidations and rumors of more negative growth. New bases = generally more flying.

what is considered a "high priority" for you SH? Those of us scraping by on furlough would love to know

Hoping to be wrong, but strongly feel it's something else.
