Horizon may have us beat, but it will be close.

Before the collapse began, there were a bunch of very good 'regional' carriers, and AWAC was one of the very best. We had industry leading work rules, pay, schedules, etc.

I am at least cautiously optimistic that this will help lead a turnaround at other regional carriers which have been taken to the cleaners by ultra greedy management. I am thinking in particular of Mesaba and Comair.
