I grew up in ATW and there are few who are more skeptical than I am of their motives. People should do what works best for them.

I know that there are for sure worse airline employers. But FOR ME there would have been better ones too. SKW..... But hindsight is 20/20 and it is what it is. I have good seniority now at AWAC and given the same information I had then that I have now I would have made the same decision. I wish I would have chosen Skywest 3 years ago. But I didn't. So I live with it. But 5 years ago AWAC was the place to be. It could well be again, which is precisely why I am not jumping ship laterally at the moment.

Right now for someone in or close to an AWAC domicile it would be a very good choice in my opinion. Get your stuff in. We need good pilots. Our pilot group is our biggest strength and few who come here say otherwise.
