Anymore? AWAC never did. But if they did, their 70 seat CA pay rate is, on average, $6/hr less then what Republic/Chautauqua/Shuttle America's is.
In your previous post, you inferred that the future of AWAC is bleak because of how low Republic's (Chautuaqua holding company) pay is. Republic winning 70 seat RFP's isn't tied to hourly pilot pay, so stop directing your knee-jerk anger at the pilot group.

You say (paraphrased) "AWAC's future is bleak because Republic's pay rate on the 70 seater is so low"
I say "AWAC's 70 seat rate is less than Republic's"
You say "AWAC's 70 seat rate is moot because they don't operate it"
In your relentless blabber, you've failed to make any sense. Let me boil it down like this: When a company bids on RFP's, they price out what each of the components of their operation would cost. Even though AWAC doesn't operate 70 seat aircraft, doesn't mean they don't have a pay rate for them. That pay rate is what goes into the RFP price structure. And, I dare say, that pay rate isn't what is preventing the company from losing the RFP's. Clear enough?

AWAC is not getting the RFP's because companies like CHQ and Skywest can afford to bid at much lower cost than they can because of the large volume of flying that those company's have offsets a lot of other costs. AWAC does not have that ability to underbid the under bidders.
