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.
Simply not true. At all. BS. The ending of that relationship had absolultely nothing to do with completion or ontime performance.

Basically AirTran didn't like there service and once they found out they could do a better job with the 717's they approached AWAC and said lets end this bad experiment.
Had an FO leave PDT to go live in his hometown of ATL and fly for AWAC. That's what he told me. And looking at google articles that's how I read it.
I wasn't taking crap about AWAC. Someone came on her bragging that AWAC doesn't sign short term deals with carriers. I said sure they do and brought up AirTran.
So is it really BS???
So which one is it dude? Make up your mind. Was it performance or was it the economics of the aircraft?
