Interesting take. My buddies in awac don't share your optimism. They're trying to get out as soon as possible. Awac BOD are definitely some of the wealthiest and smart folks, but I don't see airways renewing their flying with awac unless you guys replace the 200s with 700/900 fleet. Cost of acquiring these aircraft might outweigh the benefit of renewing contract as it would take years to recoup the cost of refleeting. Plus it's a fact that regionals will only get smaller and harder to staff. Best of luck to all of us. Hope those of us that wants to move on will be able to.
