I've heard that AWAC isn't what it used to be, people are starting to abandon ship.

Yeah, SKW has consistently floated to the top in many ways, even during the hard times.

Do you wanna live in the south or east coast? PHL/DCA/ORF vs. ATL.
If you are going to commute (I do), AWAC is CASS and has a pretty good commuter clause. Not sure what the status of CASS at ASA is, but I'm pretty sure they don't have a commuter clause. Seems like that's a must-have item in their new contract...whenever that gets completed.
FO pay is slightly higher at AWAC, much higher the first year, but that is also subject to change with a new ASA contract. AWAC's contract, although concessionary, is one of the best in the 50 seat industry.
My $.02 is go with the first class date - your problem is a good one to have!

I'd go to AWAC. More stability and better work rules (at least until after the ASA contract is settled).
Negotiations are stalling again and the MEC is talking about finally getting that strike ballot underway.
ASA is losing 13 700s to Skywest to operate out of SLC, but they are being replaced with 13 900s to operate out of ATL. ASA also gets 3 additional 200s for a net gain of 3 airplanes.
