All that is left is a fleet of 70 seat CRJ-200's that are too expensive, yet still pay more than most other 70 seat jobs out there. At least until 2015. I left at the first opportunity after the USAir change over, It was no longer a place that had career potential as it was when I was hired. AWAC went from one of the few regionals with career potential to actually retire from to an agressive cost cutter competing with all the other cheap regionals.

That enough back up for you?
