I would say get used to uncertainty. You've chosen to go to a non-wholly owned feeder for AA, an airline which has publicly stated would try to keep regional flying in-house. AWAC is a fine airline and I'm glad you chose that over any of the bottom-feeders, however their future is uncertain. Especially as they only fly 50-seat, inefficient jets that have been been given a temporary lease on life through the extension of their contract.

They're running about one to two classes a month. Anywhere from 4-15 people in them. Bases are a toss up. You can bid anything you want right now and get it probably but more movement in orf and lga. Equipment? Well we are parking airplanes probably. How many is up in the air. It was hinted we may take some out of kingman. Not sure what else you are looking for. We extended until 2018 with American. No other flying has been announced. Just ride the ride. Every regionals future is in doubt. The rj revolution is over and flying is gonna go back to mainline. The regional model is in its last legs. Kids just starting flight training now will see a whole different future than guys getting hired now.

I agree on that. I've been here almost five years, and you kind of get accustomed to not knowing about your company's future after a year or two. It does get annoying when your friends and family asks you every holiday gathering if they extended the contract past 2015....and now 2018.
