Piedmont is a different story because I'm not sure if they can handle all the change going on. That's why I figured a AWAC/Piedmont thingy might be better.

I'm just going by what happened at Piedmont and it seems to be close to the same situation. We had a senior group, old planes and senior guys that weren't going anywhere because they were making great money and had a good schedule plus a nice vacation bidding (many like me were even living in base loving it) and a upgrade time of over 5 years. Sound familiar to you? Then we started having FO's leaving and nobody wanting to come here. Sound familiar? We had Captains flying with Captains everywhere. Have you guys got to that point yet? If not then you guys are better off then what we were 7 years ago.

AWAC like Piedmont were probably 2 of the better regionals for a long time. Honestly I'd like to see something done. Both Companies fly in the Northeast for American. Bases will soon be much the same also.

I agree PSA would make more sense, but then again it would make sense also on the Piedmont side as they are gearing for tons of growth this year.
