That was the reason AirTran dumped them in the mid 2000's. While AWAC is a good place it has just as many issues as other regionals so don't full yourself.
AirTran used the RJ to open up new markets for them and then transitioned them to their 717's. They no longer needed them, it was a mutual termination.
AWAC went thru a rough patch a couple years ago where we were way low on staffing. 2010-2012 IIRC. Best month I credited 170 hours, without working vacation. You could get away with murder practically and they didn't care as long as you showed up. I wouldn't be surprised if they were at the bottom of the list during that time.
