With the way they're making money they ain't going to just fold in 2015 if that really even is the deadline year. If it was then why would they buy another plane to support the operation, why would they be repainting half the fleet now with about 2 years to go? Why would they be retrofitting the HQ in ATW with new rugs, walls, and paint in retro AWAC colors? I was in recurrent ground school last month and the chief pilot has said that Jim Rankin and his finance people personally said that right now we are in a better situation than ever for potential growth/ new airplanes.... On a side note... Getting the pinnacle 900s? Now that's new and something I heard for the first time today. Maybe that rumor is going around over there but not at AWAC.
I've heard about 900's, from a flight mgr at that. But, this whole pncl thingy is not swirling around awac.
Bigger planes will come.....although, I don't think we have pay rates for the 900.
If tits up in 2015, this was a good place to work at least.
