I see that ASA is in need of pilots, flight attendants, and customer service reps. Do they ever hire for other positions, specifically dispatch? I have been checking for a year and a half and have never come across another position listed. Thanks for the info.

Diamnd15 · January 9th, 2007, 18:22

i also see that there is no more age 21 rule, and are they saying after training your going to get lax as a base?

rausda27 · January 9th, 2007, 19:05

I think the majority of new hires will stay in Atlanta, but that depends on whether or nor LAX expands.

surreal1221 · January 9th, 2007, 19:07

I doubt this type of conditions will maintain out to the spring of 08. What an opportunity though. Maybe I'll get lucky, and if not, I'll just keep busting my ass to get the 1000/100 requirements that I'm sure will be in place by next year (Spring - Summer of 08).

The LAX commute would suck from Atlanta though.

rausda27 · January 9th, 2007, 19:10

Contract progress has been positive lately. It seems finally that the company is willing to get things settled.

surreal1221 · January 9th, 2007, 19:12

That's good to hear. I edited the original post to keep it all positive, didn't want to bring any negative nancy stuff into the thread as this is really great news.

Contract progress stopped.....heard today only 7 people showed up for the last class

Yup.

So Max. Should you end up getting on with ASA, you plan on commuting or are you praying the LAX base will still be around and you can be based there? Or are you planning on coming to the southeast - Atlanta area?

I want to be a Georgia Peach. I have lived on the west coast all my life,time for change.

I really liked Atlanta when I attended Tuskegee in 97. Same can't be said about the people/culture however. What I love about GA is the red clay. The fact that it is green,rains a plenty and they actually have seasons.

All that aside it is dirt cheap living in comparison to the west coast. Perfect for that first year salary.

So I want to be ATL based.

Rog, good deal man.

Lol, yea. I hear the big thing in Peachtree is how big and shinny your golfcart is. Big status symbol apparently!

LOL. I thought Peachtree City has golf cart route around the whole city.

TexasFlyer · January 13th, 2007, 15:18

I might have to trade in my Harley upon arrival this Fall in Peachtree City for a nice flat black golfcart that is chromed out to the max.

Oh man, I am going to hate Peachtree City since I'm so not going to fit in there. I need to live in Little Five Points or Decatur in Atlanta to enjoy a social life and chill in the evening listening to some good tunes. But that's way too far to commute. So I'll be stuck in Peachtree City... maybe Falcon will open up an operation closer to the city where I can live in LP5... that would be sweet.

surreal1221 · January 13th, 2007, 16:06

Actually Maxie, in talks with Rausda, it seems my home town - Newnan - is the big ASA spot.

Newnan is to ASA what PTC was to Delta.

We are buying a home in Newnan this spring so, whenever things happen, just let me know. You still looking towards Falcon?

Falcon has an operation up at PDK, although I don't know how much training is able to be done out of that location alone. May only be primary, SEL stuff.

Adreamer,

Yes, PTC has more miles of golf path than they do roads - golf carts are not the only ones who use it though, walkers, joggers, bike riders, they all share it.

I'll take Peachtree if it ain't to expensive. You know network with my neighbors to get an internal rec with big D! I can see all my future ASA brothers/sisters at work,lol!

Where is Newnan,and how far is it from Peachtree and Hartsfield/Jackson, cost of living low?

Newnan is about 10 miles from PTC. You can get quite a bit more for your money in Newnan vs Peachtree, but you cannot drive a golf cart around Newnan.

Tough decision. Bigger, newer home or a golf cart?

surreal1221 · January 13th, 2007, 17:31

lol - Exactly.

Rausda, you happen to know where Mineral Springs subdivision is? I haven't been home since Christmas - and at that time, we weren't looking to buy. Came across a listing for a 3bd 2bth in that subdivision, but I can't find it on any maps. Just wondering.

Lol, I hate golf! Most boring sport on earth next to tennis! Newnan sounds attractive!

I used to say that. Then I tried it.

And I continue to try. I'm hooked. But I slice...

Heath · January 17th, 2007, 02:30

Dude, PTC is UBER expensive. Look to Newnan or even better, Fairburn, to be close to ATL, but in the lower rent district.

My house was in Fairburn. MUCH cheaper than PTC, but on the same road and closer to ATL. My drive to the airport was literally under 10 minutes. And the property market is a buyer's dream right now, too, if you can come up with $2-3k to buy a house.
