Nice. I had heard similar a couple weeks after the Delta flying fell through. It is more than possible. In a perfect world Parker wants all his pretty boy WO's to do all of their flying, but it doesn't appear thats even close to happening.

I heard nothing bigger than the 200. Didn't get a a/c number total. Let's all hope for nothing less than 71

From what I heard yesterday was a deal with AA/US is 95% done, and that talks with Delta will most likely continue, as well as other major carriers are still approaching them with offers.

I had a feeling that Delta would be back. Although the 9E retention has helped slow some people from bailing, it certainly isn't the overall answer to their problems.

Thats great other carriers are approaching us! I didn't know that. Hope its legit. Thanks for the word.

Just finished up ground school, and all of these rumors are news to me. BF did stop by on day one, and when asked if we were flying past 2015, his answer was simply yes. There was no information as to how many aircraft, or what type of aircraft. Just that, in some capacity, we will still be in operation for the foreseable future. They aren't going to have a repeat of the Delta announcement anytime soon, so trying to pry information out of this company is a lost cause. Just show up to work, and don't stress out about this end of days for AWAC in 2015.

Any rumors are just that: rumors.

Don't believe it until it's announced by the company and even then, as we saw with that Delta flying, there are no absolutes.

I take the company at their word when they said the contact with DL was not good for the long term viability of AWAC.

AWAC is totally different from a wholly owned subsidiary and nobody should try to compare them. It's a business model with much greater risks but also much greater rewards for the owners.
