Aviatormar, AWAC gets paid for a flight whether they fly it or not. Airways pays for their fuel, which is a huge expense considering AWAC refuses to single engine taxi. These are just a few reasons why we are cheaper to operate than paying contract regionals. Not choosing sides, just stating facts. The head of Airways has stated he wants more flying from his wholly owneds. We have been approached by management to fly larger aircraft. All these are facts, not opinions.
I am trying to relay information here. Put your personal emotions away.
