A flow is just dangling a carrot to me. Would be nice to have everywhere as a backup plan but I would never bank my decisions going to a company solely on flow. It may simply never happen. Those who got in and it works out in record time, that's some amazing luck!

Also...anyone have solid stats on how senior awac really is these days?

AWAC is probably is pretty senior. Just like how Piedmont/Envoy were. Remember they were one of the few Regionals you could actually make a career with and AWAC is one of them. Good pay, good bennies, good vacation, good airline. Plus many of these guys got caught up when the hiring was down and many couldn't get out. Now they have the QOL they like.

Plus if you're 50 years old or above making over 100k and getting sweet vacation and good schedules why leave?

I just figured AWAC would have an experienced senior group. Plus I think that's a great asset to have. Piedmont Airlines is being drained of all there experience captains and instructors and I think that's going to bite them in the butt. Many FO's learn from experienced Captains and that is leaving Piedmont now. I even think down the road it could also be a safetly issue. I know my 5 years as a FO I learned Tons from all the Captains that had been at Piedmont for 10-20 years. You can't train experience.

16 years is a long time to spend at a regional, especially in a payscale that caps at 12 years and/or never gets to 3 digits (PSA/PDT)..
U do know it'll be 07 hires by the end of this year right? After 07/08 hires it'll go to 2011, the flow time will be shorten by the end of this year.
Of course if you don't believe in this flow, no facts can change your view. Neither you buy it or you dont.
