"Biscuit" (for those of you who don't work here, he's a management stooge who hears all the good dirt first) is running around telling everyone ASA will soon have 30 -900s. It just so happens that that's about how many Mesaba has. Hmmmmmmmm.

I think there'll be quite a bit of opportunity in 2011, so I think many companies are preparing for the possibility of an increase in flying. SKYW has historically been successful at increasing their lot during such periods; buying ASA didn't directly help me get closer to upgrade but I think it improved the company's financial situation and leverage within the industry. So that being said, buying another regional could be good for SKYW long term, but I don't think I'd see any real changes at my prospects of getting in the left seat by such a transaction, and the only rumors I really listen to are the ones that could benefit me

Sorry, that is not the number of 900s at XJ. Try again. Would you say you are partly full of it or 100% full it? Did he mention all the turbo props you would get out of the deal too?

But you're right. Sort of. According to Airlinepilotcentral Mesaba actually has 41 -900s.

So I guess his estimate is a little low, or maybe only 30 or so of them are included in the deal. Not sure why you think the Saabs would be included since they're leaving ASAP.
I didn't make up the rumor, I'm just spreading it. No need to be rude.

All of you ASA guys need to get over yourselves. Skywest will not buy a wholly owned. Mesabas 900's will stay here. If anything we should get back the 10 that were given to you. But since your company complained to Daddy D you got those instead. I am just sick of these stupid rumors and your S#!t doin't stink attitude.

Quite the snide response? Did I hit a nerve or something?

I understand Inc's desire for 70+ seat jets, but with the whole "re-branding" recently to distance the company from the Delta stigma, why would they turn around and buy a wholly owned that does 100% Delta flying?

As far as rumors go, they are just that....rumors. No one on here know what is going on, if they did they would be bound by a confidentiality agreement. ASA was owned by Delta when skyw purchased us, so you have no idea what Skyw will do either. Dont worry so much about what people post on these boards. There is a lot more to life than Mesaba or ASA.
To address the 10 900's, our management didnt 'complain', they made a deal. We traded 20, 200's for 10, 900's, but im sure you knew that already. Funny thing about them is that they were 'given' to Comair first, not Mesaba. It's a stupid game that Delta plays that ends up screwing all of us.

You just need to relax. If you dont want to read about ASA rumors, dont click on the thread that is titled ASA rumors. It is not that hard.
