I do get the sense that they're waiting for some catastrophe at another regional where they hope they can scoop up the pilots, but the fact is many won't want to start over at another regional.
No ill will towards AWAC but whats their plan this year? Isn't the extension up in April 2017? I think AA will end up renewing with PDT not being in any sort of position to take over the flying at AWAC, but what if they don't? What happens to them? Is AA holding out for that? Too many crazy variables right now. The 3 WOs are in serious trouble I do not know how they will pull it off over the next 18 months.
All of the guys who were FOs and furloughed at PSA years back are now becoming pretty marketable to leave for better pastures. That'll put a dent in things.
On a totally separate note, flew a 200 today with a new interior in it. By new I mean fresh leather and stuffing, not new as in matching anything AA. So I suppose they really are here to stay for the long haul
