Just wanted to see if anyone came over here from there.

Me and t/r disagree are former ACA. We both left before it became Independence.

There are a few of us around. There are some station agents in BTV, some of our dispatchers and I know off hand aobut 5 pilots. Check out www.ipilots.org and you will see.

I am former ACA as well. I went over there several months after being furloughed from here in 2001. Then I was furloughed from ACA in 11/03. Recalled here a week later.

Personally I found it amazing how quickly ACA's management was able to put themselves right out of business. 4500 jobs sacrificed for the sake of being able to give the finger to United (who had kept them in business for 14 years). Well done Skeen/Moore.

Also check out http://www.ridgelines.org I had some of the best time at ACA. Pete I totally agree with what you are saying. TM and KS took what was a good place to work and f-ed it all up. When ACA was UEX and DLC life was good, but flyI was a bad mistake from the start.
