wow, i didn't realize things were so grim at AWAC. You guys have a great group of crews and i hope you all find something better soon.
If any of you are thinking of PDT, we are gonna assign our unfilled captain positions to DECs after this current bid closes next week. Wouldn't be a bad option for AWACers that live in PHL, or if our rumored DCA/LGA base comes true.

On my last day I was able to get done early more often than not.

It's pretty sad that everyone's jumping ship. Even had a 17 year CA leave for Atlas.
FOs making lateral moves to the wholly owneds and management is just sitting back and watching this kind of sends out the message that they just don't care. Our CEO has destroyed 2 other airlines so looks like we will be number three. My advice is to anyone who wants to come here, think twice. Most of our new hires are not making it through training and CAs and FOs are leaving as well.
What has management done about this? Not a damn thing.
Writing is on the wall. I feel really bad for our senior guys who've been here 20 plus years and are in their late 50's and early 60's.
I'm just grateful everyone's hiring
