Yes to both questions. I spoke to him personally and he is a Delta employee.

Horia,
It's been about two years since I went through training, so I'm not exactly sure about the accommodations...
As for getting CLE, it's our smallest base and very senior, but you can put that as your "number one" choice on your wish list and hope to be put there. If not, you could always trade with someone looking to get out of CLE...realize if you get placed there, reserve might be awhile. To answer your last question, XJT only operates the -145 out of there.
Pm me if you have any more questions

RUMOR ALERT!!!!!!!! Heard a lot of talk that Delta has offered to purchase us and the offer has been accepted. That's why Delta has been doing inventory at the G.O. and maintenance shops throughout our system. Get your resume's ready and polished up because we all know how this is going to turn out. I talked to one of the inventory guys and he said he was told to do a inventory but doesn't know why. However, he suspected and has known that Delta wanted to buy back ASA and stated that to be the only reasonable explanation for his Assignment. My guess an announcement is in the near future. Just thought I would pass this information along.

So if you are on the ExpressJet side then lucky you if Delta doesn't take your side since this would be bad for us ASA folks.

I'm sorry. Bless your heart. You must be new or unaware. Delta only wants the previous ASA side only. So when you hear pilots talking about our contract negotiations we reference ASA for our side and ExpressJet for the other side.

Ugh, I hope for everyone's sake I hope this is just a rumor. Although, I remember off and on rumors about Pinnacle buying Comair, then Mesaba and look what happened. I'm not sure why, but acquisition rumors usually have some validity. At least that's what it seems like to me from past experiences. Anyway, going through a merger again does not excite me. it's a bumpy ride, as I'm sure you all can attest. Either way, good luck, and happy holidays

Interesting rumor indeed. Given the current state of the regional industry can anyone give the pros and cons to us younger folks. I'm fairly familiar with Comair and Mesaba but those were different times I think or am I being naive? I'm just thinking of a possible actual flow that can come of this which will bring new hires, which we need but currently have little to offer in return.

Flow would be interesting in that half the captain list would stay at ASA, so crew costs would be high until they retire or die. Little point in talking about it though. Charlie don't surf and Delta don't flow.
