Advantages- Second to horizon, we are the best paid regional in the industry...the trip and duty rigs are a huge bonus. Maintenance is very good...sqawks are minimal usually if any...

AWAC doesnt give a moving fee...but you have time to relocate in the contract...you are given days i believe 3-5 days off depending on the distance u need to travel. trips can be dropped during this time and you still get credited.

No sign on bonus- we arent hiring for growth, just attrition...there is no need to lure in new hires with a sign on bonus, unless of course it came down to the point that we got a huge addition to the fleet, and couldnt keep the planes staffed

I was on reserve for 2 months. Im pretty sure if u want a line fast, that PHL is your best bet. ORF and DCA have the same amount of lines and as of the last vacancy notice, 17 pilots left PHL

The lines right now arent very commutable...its either commutable on one end or the other...if they are commutable on both sides, they are pretty senior. so plan on hotels or a crashpad...or moving in base...

As far as travel? we are CASS just like all the other regionals and majors...our priority on US Airways isnt terrible...but we are behind the wholey owns (Piedmont and PSA)

Bottom line....everyone complains about something at their respective airline.....id rather complain here than anywhere else
