Rankin has said the 50 seat market will be around for about 8-10 more years...and AWAC would of course like to get newer aircraft but even with cash on hand...noone goes out and buys new aircraft on spec.
Now while everyone is salivating over new jets...there are so many routes that won't be financially viable for larger aircraft which leaves plenty of work for current AWAC aircraft.
Is that ideal over the long term...likely not and I doubt AWAC management accepts that either...but for new people considering our airline...a steadier future than what it seems.
There doesn't have to be growth to be a future at AWAC. However, if someone being hired today goes to an airline that's expanding versus one that is stagnant, their career progression is obviously going to be much faster at the growing airline.
I didn't realize that there was such a hot demand for the 50 seat market these days. All I see is a growing number of 50 seat airplanes being parked in various desert locations.
