are you serious??? they are stepping in to help us since we cancelled almost 300 flights and you are asking that!?! puppy you make me sick. guess what, if we dont hit 95 percent this month, we have bigger problems.
talk about not being able to see the forrest for the trees. simply sad we work for the same company. we dont have airplanes! who should do it???
I'd like to say thanks to Skywest for the help
Anyone else see all this flights cancelled from ASA and then reassigned a 9xxx number and flown by another carrier. Now I'm fully aware that it's all Delta flying, but when its assigned to us and its on our schedule, I considerr that OURS. Does not our section 1 scope prevent this. If we let this continue on a daily basis, I believe we are opening Pandora's box. For an example of what I'm talking about, look up ATL-OKC today. ASA had 3 CR2 flights cancelled and 3 new flights at the same exact time added and flown by SKW. WTF Over??? We are way beyond our mx issues. Is this an effort by St George to justify our furloughs and prevent them from happening at SKY?
The simple answer is NO. According to YOUR union, you do not "own" this flying....It is all "owned" by DALPA....of course they don't have access to it either....Welcome to the Pandora's Box.....
Prior to the grounding, SKW already had a couple of CRJ2's in ATL to cover ASA flying impacted by A/C shortage due to ramp damage.
The way I understand it (and I could be a little off on certain details), because ASA was not sure exactly how long the groundings were going to last, they pre-canceled a certain amount of flying on certain routes so that other DL Conx carriers would be able to commit x amount of A/C and y amount of crews for a definite amount of time for the sake of logistics planning.
While I can't speak to your contract or the long term affects of doing something like this... I can say that this was very quickly put together for the sake of maintaining a certain level operational integrity and passenger movement...not with any kind of malicious intent toward any particular pilot group.
The DL Connection carriers already, at the request of Mother Delta, check with each other's OCC's prior to canceling a ATL/CVG based trip in the event another DCI carrier can cover the flying. I know ASA has covered SKW a time or two when SKW had a CRJ9 go MX in an outstation and they were able to operate the flight with a spare CRJ2 and reserve crew.
