I honestly wish AWAC pilots the best, it's just not looking great right now. It's clear Parker wants to move away from contract flying because of its inflexibility during tough times. AWAC's only saving grace may be the fact that the wholly owned carriers won't be able to staff up in time or at all.

No it's not and everything in the regionals can be rumored. All I will say VA is Piedmont isn't going to be what it was 2 years ago. Great opportunities lie ahead for new hires.
Just pick your poison and go with it.
Good Luck

Question about the payscale. On the APC profile, it says that new hire pilots are paid $27.82/hr @75hr guarantee during training.
After completing training, pay increases to the $31/hr year 1 pay shown on the pay scale?
