Our company has said US Airways has told them many times our on-time and completion numbers in PHL are better than any other Express carrier to have their previously had an operation based there (in my recent memory, CHQ/Mesa/PSA). It is a difficult environment to keep a schedule in, with them closing MXE and/or PTW departure gates if there is a cumulus cloud east of Pittsburgh...and we are doing increasingly more flying into BOS and LGA as Chautauqua pulls 50 seaters and replaces them with 175s. That said...on paper, the numbers still blow. Considering all the stuff that isn't AWAC's fault though, they seem to be pretty good.

For some reason, I keep thinking (hoping?) AWAC's growth avenue will be in large turboprops...or something that can also handle the ASE market. I guess we've got 8 or so years to find out, eh?
