AWAC was also supposed to get United flying (went to ASA and then next wave to Expressjet), supposed to get Midwest flying (Skywest), had a real short term deal with AirTran--didn't work out. Several possible reasons.

AWAC doesn't win flying. They buy it. If Delta is strapped for cash due to their new Virgin joint venture and AWAC can toss them some money and come up with favorable terms... Then sure there might be some planes at Air Wisconsin.

Problem is, Awac signs some pretty ridiculous iron clad contracts with these airlines. I don't see Delta allowing the owners of AWAC to have the kind of control/operation that they have with USAirways. Hope I'm wrong, but Delta likes to shuffle planes around with DCI carriers, they like to whipsaw pilot groups against each other, and that will not fly in a contract with the current owners of AWAC. These owners want stability and steady income.

If they did something like this with Delta, they'd probably turn around and sell the company to Skywest and retire rich. Anyways I wouldn't base a decision on where I work on a rumor. Go to a place that will be around a while, that offers you a good QOL, and that provides you and your family good benefits. If that place is AWAC then by all means pull the trigger. Just do your due diligence.
