Awac - rigs , RAH - none
Awac - cancellation pay , RAH - none
Awac - decent reserve rules, RAH - terrible
Awac - better hourly pay , RAH - LOWER hourly pay
Dont be fooled by the orders for RAH i have serious doubts about how theu are going to staff them..
I wish you luck on the awac interview.
AWAC is a great company. To be fair, they have an all 50 seat jet fleet and a CPA that expires in a few years... With the current trend being 50 seat or less jets getting parked (see 9E, OO, EV parking 200s in exchange for 900s) it will be interesting to see what happens with them.
Also, Republic doesn't have true cancellation pay, however if you are reassigned you are pay protected for the greater of originally scheduled block or actual reassignment... Still sucks though. And as far as staffing... my understanding is in March alone they hired 70 pilots, with yet more to come. Right now it seems the only plane they struggle to staff is the Q400.
