Don't forget that the ASA purchase gave SKW Inc. (SKW & ASA) guaranteed routes & expansion through 2020 with DAL.

Management could no longer use the 15 CRJ from NWA.... So I guess this is the new thing they are using for us to sign the contract.

How can 9E be flying for Delta when they need to get their own contract ratified in order the NWA deal to be complete. Doesn't the agreement with NWA stipulate that?

50% of all new delta flying MUST go to skywest airlines. 80% of flying out of ATL MUST go to ASA.

So out of those 150 A/C expect at least 80% to go to ASA and/or Skywest

What a wacky wacky industry. What are you supposed to do, shuffle back and forth from airline to airline trying to make a living? I wonder if Comair has a future?

Is the ASA for 9E contingent on the management and pilots getting a contract hammered out first. So, I ask again, how can the get any new flying with out the ASA becoming finalized.
