I highly doubt the PSA's 200's will be transferred to AWAC because of how cheap PSA is to operate and the fact they're getting 50 people a month. Every airlines has some issues with staffing but with the quick upgrades PSA isn't having a hard time getting people.
Billy Billy...this is not about staffing...it is about harmonizing fleets. PSA is getting 700s, Envoy 175s or whatever they are. It would make sense to move the 200s to one carrier since all the other carriers in the express system are moving to one fleet type. At least that is what they announced.
I say it makes sense...doesn't mean it is going to happen that way...but such a plan is not an indication of whether you can staff or not...we do know the other express carriers can't cover their flying since AWAC has been asked constantly to pick up extra flying going on a year now.
