New SKW/ASA Rumor

[zawillif]

Incorrect. FAs will be nationals.

So they're gonna hire both Captains and FOs? What's your source? Did they tell you what the hiring mins will be? I asked Scott about the mins beginning of February and he didn't know.

Just checked with my sources...FOs will be a mix of expats and nationals, with different pay scales for each. Seems like drama waiting to happen, imho.

The F/A's would probably have to speak Vietnamese... I doubt Ebonics would qualify.

ASA is out.

According to the ASA directory, our director of safety and two other employees are listed as Air Mekong employees.

Nice Find! Looks like the cat's definitely out the bag now!

So I hear 10 CRJ900s going to Nam. Will there be a void ASA leaves back in the states and if yes, who's filling it?

 

[Erlanger]

Can it succeed though? Read below.

So would this help alleviate your furlough situation?

I've also heard that the pilots going over there will be Air Mekong employees. So does ASA put them on a LOA? Who's paying their insurance? What about union protection? What about flight and duty rules over there? Won't the pilots have to go through training again, learn Vietnam rules, SOP, etc? Etc, etc, etc.
