They have internal money for it if they want to continue to staff the airline.
2005?? 2008?? WTF
That was a different time , Awac was a different airline back then . Years ago they could pretty much set their own rates on the FFD program and rake in the cash .Everyone wanted them and their product .
Fast forward to 2017. Everyone knows the contract with UA wasn’t the greatest and the one with AA probably isn’t far behind . They have operated on a shoe string budget since then .
No one is beating their door down for the old , hot, clapped out deuces .
Maybe they will surprise everyone and blow Mesa out if the water with incredible rates . Highly unlikely, but we will see.
Awacs management is dilusional about the company and it’s current state . They seem to think it’s still the Awac from 2005 and 2008 , where they are doing you a favor to allow you to work at such a prestigious airline .You should be happy to work there so they don’t need to go over and above with great pay rates .
