ASA and AirTran? (Yes, it's another rumor)
 

I have heard this rumor from more than one line pilot, so take it with a grain of salt-- if you will

I have heard that the SkyWest/AirTran codeshare deal is only a temporary aragement and that ASA is to be the ultimate codeshare partner in a few monts (or quarters for all I know.)

Has anyone else heard this rumor?

Considering Airtran and ASA are neighbors and MANY Airtran pilots came from ASA, if it means taking Airtran flying... I hope it's not true.

I know it is just a rumor... but that would be great!! I really miss flying being furloughed.. Hopefully I remember how to start the engine!! LOL :D

Hmm, so many ways to respond to this...

It was a joke...

Lol, internet sarcasm is so confusing!

I first heard the rumor that ASA and AirTran were in discussioins about a month ago. Then the announcement came that SkyWest would be doing the flying. I don't see how or why ASA would take it over from SkyWest. Obviously more flying is good for us, but it I understand the AirTran guys are less than thrilled, and they are our immediate neighbors. And come Spring we will have 6 airframes without a home.

But I really doubt were getting those routes. I guess we'll see.

Finally:

Val U Prop!

if we can have some of the AirTran flight attendants then I 'll take it....other than Skywest they are the hottest I ve seen.....Boom goes the dynamite

Southwest has some cute ones and so does Hawaiian. :D

I'm pretty well connected, and I SERIOUSLY doubt ASA will be doing any Airtran flying.

Heard similar rumor while walking through hangar. Mx vp had a meeting about this last week,

I had a question.. so I know we have 6 planes that still need flying.. when they said we were staffed accordingly.. does that mean that if we find flying for the 6 planes (if rumors like this actually happen) that there would be a possibility of us getting called back? :)

hahaha I wish... they are just saying that to justify the min coverage days.

it's going to be a long time before we are called back. it doesn't help that we were in the 2nd to last class!! Only time will tell :rolleyes:

Sorry, man. ASA has no more prop planes. Besides, props are for boats!

Jets are for jacuzzis!
