Ive already posted my views on AWAC's future to much criticism. A lot of great people working there, I truly wish the best for everyone there and I still have very good friends that work there. I left after 5 years in 2010... it was not this uber well treating regional that people espouse here but it wasn't a bad job (it certainly wasn't a great one though). From my vantage point I still see the titanic rolling up to that Iceberg... I hope I am wrong, but I don't see a single thing that pops and says AWAC will be in business in 3-5 years.

How long have you been at AWAC? If you are really just "in class" and already banking your career there then you have to research this industry a bit more.

here is my thought. Awac will most likely still fly for aag, but somewhere around 35-40 crj200's. Imagine PDT flying 175's on their current route structure. PHL-SBY anyone? yeah my thoughts are PDT and Awac essentially do a switcheroo on the routes. PDT gets bigger planes that fly on the currrent awac routes, awac gets downsized and flys all the small short hops that pdt does.
As J.R. always says "there is always a place for the 200", but I think that place will be phl-sce, phl-abe, phl-sby. all day every day.
anyways, thats my prediction since awac won't tell us whats going on.

I'm not bashing Awac I think it's a descent regional to work at from what I've heard.I just think Awac played their hand with all those fifty seaters.There will not be any more room with AAG for larger jets.Psa is getting 30 crj 900s and from what I've heard the additional 40 are almost certain. Compass, mesa and republic are all still adding large jets for AAG. Not to mention the additional planes that hang in the balance with piedmont and envoy.Where will Awac place their planes? United, delta or AAG dosent want them.I just think they have waited too long to upgrade their fleet.I think they will just ride it out, absorb as much cash as they can and then be done with it.I could be wrong but it's alot to consider.
Of course, the fact that a dozen 190 CA spots went un-bid a couple months ago (then they just got rid of those slots) certainly doesn't help the case that they should be at mainline.
