GoJets. Sounds like they are getting a total of 12 to be flown under Delta Connection.

GoJet is going to be flying them. Taking 8 700s and 6 200s from ASA.

TSA gets a new CBA and GoJet expands. Sounds familiar.

Who the hell is runnin' this place?
No one!!!

Maybe if you concentrated on running an airline, instead of SOC, we might at least be able to maintain status quo. Now costs will increase again as block hours and productivity decrease.

Unfortunately it will fix the staffing problem.

Note to negotiators:
Keep Perf Plus. I want guaranteed pay instead.

I guess this is why they did not want to upgrade anybody.

F this industry.

It's 8 CRJ700s that will leave ASA as DL has decided to give it to a lower bidder. (Yes, GoJet). The leases are up on the CRJ200 and not going to GoJet, probably back to Bombardier.

Delta put the flying out for bid based on COST. ALPA failed to ever deal with "brand scope".....Those are the reasons. 4 of these 700s are coming from Skywest, and all 12 originally came from Comair because they were the high cost operator.

As I've said before, either:

1. Use brand scope to prevent this flying from being put out for bid to the lowest cost operator

or

2. If you don't do #1, you need to compete for the flying.
