Unfortunately for awac the outlook is not very good. Please do more research before you choose a regional.

1. Yes

2. That's what I am doing.

I'm curious why they haven't started advertising the new hire bonus and retention bonuses. It doesn't seem that they're making a wholehearted effort to recruit.

Good luck with parking to all the LGA folks.

Is any of that official yet? The first year guys I know are still taking in the massive $27/hr checks as well.

How long have you been flying 121? If you haven't been long I hope that doesn't discourage you and make you hate what you do. Just want you to know that's not how it is everywhere. I wouldn't even think of doing 2 back to back 6 days. How are they getting away with making you do that?

Do you work for AWAC? Because if you do then their min days off/month is 12 days. And as far as back to back 6 day trips unless you have a 30 hour rest in there somewhere that is illegal per 117.

Not long. I got here shortly before the merger. Everything is legal per the regs and Ive been on reserve the entire time. I try to follow the contract but there is so much hedging language in there the company always has an excuse to pull it off. They were about to extend me again into a day in lieu and they wouldnt give it back to me so I called fatigue for the first time. I am so extremely fatigued.

This.
Your experience sounds horrible. I would move on. QOL is completely different at other places.
