I don't know what you mean by "buy" flying???
Awac has one of the lowest operating costs in the regional world. Awac is fairly caught up on its staffing. With the summer flying slowing down, its finally giving scheduling and pilots a break. I would think some possible hiring in the fall, but nothing that I know of yet.
QOL sucks at any regional airline, thats the bottom line. You work harder than the majors and get paid less. As far as AWAC, the pay is good, and the contract is a whole lot better than most regionals.
The real question should be what is AWAC going to do when the 2015 US airways contract ends. It's also the same time the leases are up on the 200's. A lot of people think they will probably just close up shop, who knows...
