You only have 2 years left on the AA agreement to even fly for them. Do you honestly think Parker would give AWAC a flow?? Hell if anything he's hoping that you guys tank so he can raid your pilots for his WO'ed airlines. We've already had more then a hand full of AWAC FO's leave and come to one of the 3 WO'ed and believe me he'd love them all.
AWAC management wanted a deal done and I think it was because they wanted to make them competitive in competing for flying with other Delta Carriers.
That being said they do offer a good product, but how long before people start jumping off a ship that starts to sink???
As for a flow thru there's no way in the world that's going to happen at AWAC. While I totally understand why this TA has been turned down I can understand now that AWAC will enter into much uncertain waters. No new planes and no new Code Share partners.
AWAC offers a good product, but is that what Majors want?? Or is it the bottom line..... Money.
