So I wonder if Delta will give preferential hiring to ASA pilots once all of our airplanes are transferred to Skywest? Actually, that wouldn't be a bad thing...my husband would make more there than he ever would here! Our 70 seaters (EV tail number) supposedly are being sent over to SLC to be renumbered (SW tail number) one at a time. I believe one has already been transferred.
In fact, the first displacement bid has been issued for November. About 10 70seater capts will be downgraded to 50seat capts, with no news yet of any "new" aircraft deliveries. Attrition is about 15 per month; split between capts and fo's. All this because the ASA pilots don't want to fly 70 seaters for 50 seat pay.
The saga continues....
