Guys. They're parking airplanes. The planes they have are old and undesirable. No one is asking them to add flying. That management hasn't add flying in 10 years.

And you work under Frisch.

Tell that guy his kids Dad says "hello."

GTFO of AWAC.
This x 1,000... I personally know if a handful of regional FOs with interviews / class dates at LCCs. Get your apps out. Everyone is hiring. There is no need for a lateral move in this hiring environment and I'm sure any flight department would be grateful to have you.

Exactly, AW isn't the only regional to serve up strong kool aid. A lot of people don't like change, or is afraid of its uncertainties. Especially the senior, more comfortable in their lifestyle. H$ll, I'm on of them. They play on our emotions offering little glimmers of hope, but no firm promises. Just enough to slow the mass exodus. No telling what exactly AW's plans are, but my personal opinion is they're way behind at this point if there is a (good) upcoming anouncement outside of a merger with another regional. The tides are turning in our favor. Grab the bull by the horns

They just changed my proposed effective date for having a line to November instead of October. Check your AirWis emails. I am not pleased.

It's not the first time they have delayed an award...

But it comes at a bad time when the only good news we have gotten for the pilot group is iPads with a sub-par navigation app.

Well, at least the 4 who were awarded upgrade will get pay protection. I was chatting with another who was awarded and said he's heard nothing about when he would be going through training. I see more FOs have left. Looks like they're short handed as they also put this on their Twitter Page. After 12 years, and upgrade and downgrade I've decided to get my logbook caught up. So glad it's now a pilot's market.

Exactly! FO's with 2-3 years of experience would be GOLD for JetBlue, Spirit, or the new Alligiant. It's a bonus as they know they'll have you for awhile since you don't have the PIC time for United, Delta, SouthWest or American at the time. Win win for both.

The only why to make a lateral move now to another Regional is directly to the left seat.
