I think it's kind of like knowing your girlfriend has a huge backside, yet it's still rude and immature for some random guy to state the claim. Unless you're somehow related to AWAC, I'd stay out of it. Most of my friends at Wisky made 45-50K during their sophomore year, which is certainly more than some other regionals who operate larger equipment.

EVERY regional has its issues, but arguing that a company - a privately held company - that you don't work for is "too expensive" is laughable. Shame on AWAC for having semi-reasonable rates and work rules. How dare they, right?
