Default 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 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.
