Because this business savvy dude you're talking about didn't do a very good job at staying ahead of the competition or at least following the trends for regional lift. I mean, how long have the majors been talking about reducing 50 seat lift? They've done a good job for years, but as the saying goes, you snooze you lose. I wish you all the best of luck. Fortunately this is a great time to be job searching. There's some good opportunities out there

Ha! At a time when TSA, PDT, Commute Air, etc are adding 50 seaters...ok.

Trend. You all are pilots. Don't you fly trend information?

I have a feeling that with this two year "extension" we are on, they are not making the profits they did with the 10-year contract with US Airways.

But we don't know this. Nobody but possibly 10-12 people in Appleton know what the F is going on.


Realignment closes today? Outcome will be interesting.

They are not new planes and are just being shuffled from other carriers. System wide there will be less 50 seat lift.

Yes there will be. How the shuffle will go, only time will tell. Awac has 70 seat pay rates as well.

Can Awac afford to pull guys from the line for difference training now? How long does that usually take? Seems unrealistic that Awac could train everyone while keeping their airline staffed.

Doesn't matter if you have 70 seat rates. You don't have a new contract and NOBODY, I mean NOBODY is going to sign with AWAC until the contract gets hammered out.

Disclaimer- I'm not under the delusion that AWAC is going to do anything but shut its doors.

That being said, I'm no finance or business whiz, nor do I understand the finer points of contract negotiations, but why would UAL or anyone care if we have a new CBA? We have a contract that is being used, what an airline decides to pay AWAC and what AWAC and the pilots agree on are two separate things. UAL or whoever couldn't give a rat's bum how much profit AWAC makes, as long as the flights are completed.
Furthermore, DAL and AWAC were close to a deal while AWAC was still in contract negotiations.
That being said, if I'm wrong somebody please correct me.
