I've flown both and worked at both. I will never talk bad about the dash, but when you are on your eighth leg of the day "crank and bank and hand fly" gets old. You just want to get to the hotel and have a day off. The summer gets long sitting in Navy blue airplanes with less than reliable APU's. The dash is a blast to fly, but you get more creature comforts and feel the need to shower just a little less in the RJ. Both have pretty good contracts, but the pay is higher at AWAC. You mentioned SBY, the place is a nightmare to nonrev in and out of in the summer when everyone is going to Ocean City. Philly is a nightmare to get to from PIT all the time, and you have to go through Philly to commute to SBY. As Boiler said, there are a lot of PDT refugees at AWAC, and I don't think I ever ran into an AWAC pilot at PDT. Take that for what it's worth. G2T
