If 1=very concerned I'd say 1. If 10=very concerned, I'd say 10. If AWAC is a cat with nine lives, they've used about eight of them. The only thing AWAC has going for it is the ability to staff the 71 planes they're flying now. Other than that, the moral here is... Well lets just say the morale at my future job as indicated by my username would be 100 times better in terms of morale.
If you have another opportunity, take it. The risk here is high, the reward is low. Our senior leadership team has come up short time and time again. This deal was blown and it was a bird in hand. With a financially stable partner. Which in turn would have given this pilot group an additional six years of job security.
Not to mention the fact that ZW sits in front of an arbitrator every other month and tells him that this pilot group is too expensive to obtain additional flying. They secured this, but their greed at the other end of the spectrum more than likely cost us six years of job security.
I don't post on here, but in order to save someone from making a huge career mistake I created an account. Best of luck to you. You won't know if you made the right choice until you retire. Unless you come to AWAC, then you'll know you made the wrong decision when you're sitting in the basement of the ATW airport about an hour into indoc when our new temporary CEO who is responsible for shutting down two airlines in her career comes by and lies to your face about how you just joined the best company in the industry.... Plenty of places out there that have positive things happening.
Things could change tomorrow, but you have to make the best decision for your situation based on the available information. Good luck my friend, and congrats on your class date. I hope whatever you decide works out for you.
