I wonder if people are going to bail after taking the money or just bail from AW altogether with the way things are going.

From a personal standpoint I think the company acted too late on getting 700s or 900s and was too comfortable with 50 seat flying.
Other regionals have gotten more block hours and are about to restart hiring/training and have recalled their staff with no intent to furlough yet here we are furloughed, recalled and re-furloughed come March end because there is no demand.
Being a contract carrier I wonder what would happen if UA cut us loose and said they didn’t need us anymore.

You can spend all day hand wringing about what if’s in this industry. They shaved 100 aircraft off their 50 seat fleet already. East nowhere will still need their one flight a day once the covid slump is over. If they were going to just cut us and pay the penalty, it probably would’ve happened already.

I'd be looking for work outside of this industry rather than sitting in your parent's basement posting What Ifs about the regional airline industry on airline pilot central.
