AWAC is not owned by USAIR! This will take years to pan out, by then, regional feed will go to who ever can staff it, your about see a massive shortage of new hires for the RJs. They will have to raise first year FO pay, and thats not an option without a contract, and everyone will want some pie. Its about to become a VERY rocky road come next AUG, and even more so the following spring with FT.DT.
