I can’t say I see AWA growing and has 4 years left on contract.
Just left AWAC for a major after 8 years. I loved awac in the beginning but the last few years were extremely rough there. I also live in Philly but the commute to ORD wasn't bad (although commuting sucks). However, you'll get MKE or CAE for a base which will suck horribly for a commuter. Your commute will suck, your QOL will suck, and you will regret going there, sadly. The only thing they have going for themselves now are the people you'd work with.
Do yourself a favor and go to Republic.
