"The move means Delta will likely have to add a large number of employees at the Atlanta airport, although the company said it has not determined how many. A Delta executive said he expects the "vast majority" to come from ASA's operations."

An article just posted said the "vast majority" will be offered jobs at Delta.

Regardless, that's not what the ASA employees are being told at the roadshows. And quite honestly, most of our below wing employees wouldn't make the cut at Delta due to attitude or drug problems. You don't get Delta quality when you pay your below wing employees $6 per hour.

Yes, we all know the AJC to be an accurate and authoritative source on the goings on at Delta

Although, it might be a precursor for you losing other things as well.

Hard to imagine that Delta will give ASA and their little aircraft the same level of service that they give their own 767's...I don't know a lot about this topic, but I wonder how much ASA will really improve...
