42ER. Another welcome aboard. In spite of the rough patches, AWA is a great place to work with great people. Every regional has it's share of ups and downs, but it comes down to where you think is the best place for you and again, AWA on a bad day is better than any other place on their bad days. And most days aren't that bad. (Granted I've got some seniority protection). But if things start moving you should be flying a bunch and moving up the list. Probably a good time to get on.

Regarding studying, does AWA send out any material beforehand? If not Stryker said it. Relax and bring a good attitude. PM me if you have any questions.
