I wonder if the next step is to announce hiring or the purchase of someone else?

I think you ASA guys are funny. You used to always come down on us SKYW guys for drinking the company KOOL-AID. Now it looks like you guys are getting the sweet taste of the red stuff a little to much just as we have finally learned to spew the stuff out of our mouths. Trust me when I say attitudes are changing quick over here.

We have been hearing similar rumors of extreme growth over here. (Of course as we begin pay negotiations) My opinion they just want to keep the troops in order. No one here in buying it. My suggestion (not that it matters) you should't buy it either.

I hope so but I think it has more to do with the fact that the guys in the first round of furloughs were approaching the deadline where they would have to start training from scratch. Bringing them back now saves something like $17k per pilot in training costs. This combined with better than expected fall block hours would be my guess.

FWIW, you don't "negotiate" unless you have a contract. SAPA going to chip and asking, then getting told no, is not negotiations.

However, you can expect to get offered 1% above whatever we have, plus our PBS system. You're welcome.

SkyWest had better compensation and work rules than ASA before your latest contract was concluded, so who helped who here?
