Every day that goes by without a flying announcement leads me believe more and more that AWAC selling the pilots is more likely.
Call me a pessimist, but I find it hard to believe that a company that was prepared to shut down one of their own subsidiaries in the midst of a pilot shortage would be looking to acquire an entire company just for its labor.
I think it's more likely they'd be betting on most of us having to start over at one of their regionals at year one pay, which unfortunately would be true. The system is rigged.
