They are still hiring into a pool. several of us are in it waiting to see if there ia a June class

Why shouldn't anyone work for AWAC? I have been for about 2 years... should I leave? Is there something terrible I am unaware of?

oh that's right we have one of the best contracts in the industry... I better get my resume out!


Yes we are still hiring about 15 a month.

No. The dude was saying that he doesn't work for them. We all know AWAC rocks.

haha. wow I really mis-read that... :p

I know better than trying to read before I have my beer in the morning.

Everyone is spring loaded wow! sorry for the mix up, i just said i wasnt working there so someone like you could bring credibility to the thread and i tried to answer the guys question, that is all....happens to the best of us though! hope all stays well at AWAC

I understand RDU is a new base. How big and how senior is it?

I heard RDU is not that hard to get...but this was about 3 weeks ago...any more recent input will be appreciated!

on a side note, any updates on their real minimums to be competitive?

Cheers!

In my opinion to be most competitive you need an employee referral.

RDU is slightly more senior than LGA, but it is still understaffed. Holding RDU should not be a problem for any newbie. I'm not sure how big the base is, but I know it is our smallest one.

The last I checked there are 26 FO's in RDU. I am #13 out of 28 in LGA and 23 of 26 in RDU next month to give you an idea of seniority of the bases. I've spoken with management about hiring and it sounds like previous 121 experience, or at least turbine is a big plus to be competitive now. I'm recommending a few lower time friends, but it's not looking good. My $.02

Raleigh's the new Norfolk. I'm just happy I'm based there. Way better to be on reserve there than have a line in LGA.

Have you guys heard anything about new class dates. There are several of us that I have talked that are in the pool. I was told maybe June
Thanks for the input

I think I disagree with this statement. I have a line in LGA starting in July and would rather do that than sit reserve in RDU... then again I do bid #3 in LGA.

I will be #18 of 35 lineholders in RDU. Folks who bid there beware!!!

RDU sucks, go back to DCA ;). (just trust me)
