I think I will just sleep on the pax bus from 35X as it drives around, those seats in the back give you something nice to lean against and fit like a bucket. Plus, the low rumble of the engine and tires will put me out like a baby.

If they have any news to share, it would be in their best interest to make that information available as soon as possible to quell the number of resignations.
The company temporarily bought themselves time until May, but each week that passes by with no management-to-employee communication, the unrest will slowly inflate back to what it was when we were losing 40+ pilots a month.

Found one of the culprits! 
Seriously guys, it's an AWAC only crew room. Yes we share in CLT and PHL because those are designated "express" crew rooms. However AWAC does not share crew rooms with other express carriers in DCA. It's a damn closet. If 4 people are in there at one time, it's over-crowded. We just don't have room in there for PSA, PDT, ENVOY, Republic.........
DCA is not even a PSA base. I personally don't care which carrier is entering without permission. There is no excuse for entering, loitering or leaving your bags in another carrier's crew room just because you think it's convenient. Grown professional adults shouldn't be having this problem.

Nice to see PSA take the high road. Amazing how one can embarrass themselves. lol

If not AA there is certainly room for AWA elsewhere. I just finished reading a United article about how they want to expand their Chicago ops to some of the smaller Midwest airports that AA serves. With so many other regionals going for bigger planes, there is certainly room in the scope clauses for AWA to find its niche...

Here's the biggest problem AWAC faces in my opinion. To take on and implement a new fleet takes time, a year minimum at best. They would have to start today to be able to go straight from AA to someone else once the AA contract is up. The other problem is AWAC is already struggling to staff the flying the already have. They can't do a steady transition into other flying or AA could sue them for falling well short of providing the lift they agreed to. So unless AWAC is planning on spending a ton of money to pay their whole airline to not fly for a few months as they transition and train, I don't see how they will be able to do it. They won't be able to just switch ALL flying to a new carrier in one day. And I love the AWAC guys but I don't see anyone wanting those 200s. So I really really hope you all get an announcement as early as possible.
