Any New AWAC news??
 

I haven't heard much on here on the AWAC front, just curious if there has been any postive outlook over there. They've always been a company that I would like to work for (and a base I want!) prior to hiring freezes and furloughs.

Any possible recalls for attrition, extra flying, or (gasp) growth. Not sure if they've been benefitted from their reason investment in Airways. Any possibility of them getting any bigger equipment than the 200s? Shorter training if already typed in the CRJ-200?

I know I'll probably get plenty of doom and gloom answers, but anybody with any positive info is appreciated!:D

A vacancy offered recall to 4 or 5 fo's and one captain that took a voluntary leave. I believe there is another very small vacancy out right now. No real changes that I know of, just small attrition.

We are slowly getting some Block Hours back from Airways....which is hopefully a sign of good things to come.

As far as the 35 million dollar loan we gave to Airways? We were told our contract would be extended...but Mgmt. did not specify how much longer it will be for.

One of the other things I had heard came from a Station Manager...who was out in PHX for a conference. She had told me that aside from the contract extension.....we will be offered the "First Right of Refusal" for all the PHX flying when Mesa's Contract either expires or the go out of business. Take it with a grain of salt obviously but hey...a little growth in this company wouldnt be a bad thing.

Yes you will get all of Mesa's PHX flying because US Airways wants to replace all of Mesa's 900 flying in PHX with AWAC's mighty CRJ 200 fleet!

US Airways wants to replace Mesa and AWAC has the money to buy/lease the CRJ900's when/if Mesa goes ch7. PHX will not be a one feeder town if Mesa liquidates or after 2012 if they make it.

You don't work for Mesa, do you?

Oh, you do, well that would explain the childish response....

Hey lets put your MIGHTY 900 check next to my little awac 200 check. I bet i win! Seems like a very weak attempt to belittle awac and there fleet. But hey you are a mesa FO, we all can understand.

I did hear that they have a recurrent class on march 2nd i think with the recalls and the couple FOs that took the 6 month leave. One of my buddies that took the sixth month leave said that they are calling back 4 or 5 more after they are all done, which will be april i guess??

Good to hear AWAC is recalling a few guys. Maybe the fellows at PSA will do the same.

Whatever happened to the money the AWAC's pilots were supposed to receive after the payroll give back?

Awwww it's dead allready... I guess not to much is happening.
