The mgmt trolls are trying hard to find some good in this current sh$t show they call a operation. Ya come be apart of our greatness join our sh$t show and fly for one of the worst performing operators in the UA system! Ya our contract will be renewed. Current mgmt has destroyed this place! JT and company have allowed a half lawyer run this place into the ground!

You can try to paint AWAC in whatever light you want to, but something stinks when you’re one of about two people on this forum that say things are great at AWAC.
As a recently departed employee from there, my first day at my new company started my recovery process. AWAC was a good airline circa 200-2005 with Scott O. 2006-07 you had Bob F and Kevin L takeover. Downhill since then IMO.
A friend of mine who works there just got home 2.5 days after his scheduled trip end. He is a LCA there which means they own you.
Is AWAC better than unemployment? Sure. Are there better options out there? Absolutely.

I didn’t say things were great. I was making the point that commuting and living in/near base are two different things.

I had 7 days off in a row right now and I picked up a 2 day with 2 legs and 4 hours of flying today that pays 12 hours solely because I can get those days back next month and because it gets me 2 junior mans closer to my 10 for the year.
You just have to know how to turn lemons into lemonade
I sincerely hope you do not think picking up a trip on your days off equate a junior man event.
No wonder this TA is gonna pass with guys like this. No one wants your terrible kool-aid mixed lemonade. If it was an actual junior man you choose one or the other. Please explain how it "pays 12 hours solely because you get those days back."
(and great, 10 for a year!, others have ZERO)

It's written in the contact in very simple language. There are guys who let scheduling force them into more somehow and tell them to grieve it later instead of just saying no. Then there are guys who accept more to enhance their paycheck. Either way, both are contractual violations.

Section 3.N., for more than a total of ten (10) duty periods in a calendar year, unless the pilot consents to perform the flying.
Emphasis added. Only one circumstance mentioned above is an actual contract violation, albeit a pretty brazen one.

I know many who are well over 10 intentionally for paycheck enhancement. Haven’t actually spoken to anyone who was forced over 10. I suppose it could be happening but haven’t heard/seen any direct evidence.
