Yea... I've been w/ AWAC for about a year now... AWAC is definitely a more HR oriented interview. At least it was for me. No technical questions at all. I can't really promise that now though. Usually, they are just looking to make sure you are a person that can get along with a crew for 4 day trips and not cause problems... That's about the jest of it. Good luck.

Korean!DR thanks for the info! Thats what I have heard as well. Where are you based? Do you commute? I am living in BOS and plan on tryin to get PHL or DCA as it is a 1 leg commute. I know for reserve and stuff that I will need to prob live at my crash pad, overall how do you like it? is this your first regional? Sorry for all the questions, I am just very interested in them and want to gather as much info as possible.

BOS-DCA would be a piece of cake with the Airways and Delta Shuttles. I think a nice crashpad in Crystal City that is a 15 minute walk or one stop on the Metro away will run you $205-235 bucks/mo. Not cheap mind you, but not bad given the location...

Tahts great info thanks, I didnt think it would be too dificult, BiolerUP a re you flying for AWAC????

BoilerUP 05-07-2007 07:36 AM

Yup...done my tour of duty in all three domiciles.

How is your QOL with AWAC? I know the pay is "good" comapared with others, you have done all 3 domiciles by choice or becuzase they moved you around?

BoilerUP 05-07-2007 07:42 AM

I live in the DC Metro area, so my QOL is pretty good. I was based in ORF out of training for two months, went to PHL for commutability and to hold a line, and bid DCA last fall when my wife and I moved out this way. Unless I get a dream job back in the midwest and leave AWAC, they'll have to pry DCA from my cold, dead hands at this point. Good crews, great controllers, great scenery, schedules that mostly avoid PHL - all win/win!

Great thanks for the info!!!! Sounds like you really love it, I would be commuting from BOS (maybe not while on reserve) but I apprecaite your input!

Eh, I wouldn't quite go that far...;)

But there are a whole lot worse places I could be right now.

right I know what you are saying, what would you say is the biggest negative there now? It seems to me that upgrade is what everyone keeps saying, do you agreee??
