Quarter? Try top 5%. The number of folks who flew left seat on the 146 are a few dozen, tops. Most of them have been retiring or their retirement is coming soon. Only the top 25% were even at AWAC when the BAe-146 was still in operation here.

Also, anyone who thinks the leaders of any company will have a heart in this industry is delusional. They won't think twice about shutting any place down if that's what creates lower costs/higher profit. Look at Comair. That was a wholly owned company, but it's gone and those senior pilots and F/As were left in the cold. Delta could have scavenged them for their own classes and they didn't.

I hope AWAC has a long and prosperous future.
