Also...anyone have solid stats on how senior awac really is these days?
AWAC is probably is pretty senior. Just like how Piedmont/Envoy were. Remember they were one of the few Regionals you could actually make a career with and AWAC is one of them. Good pay, good bennies, good vacation, good airline. Plus many of these guys got caught up when the hiring was down and many couldn't get out. Now they have the QOL they like.
Plus if you're 50 years old or above making over 100k and getting sweet vacation and good schedules why leave?
I just figured AWAC would have an experienced senior group. Plus I think that's a great asset to have. Piedmont Airlines is being drained of all there experience captains and instructors and I think that's going to bite them in the butt. Many FO's learn from experienced Captains and that is leaving Piedmont now. I even think down the road it could also be a safetly issue. I know my 5 years as a FO I learned Tons from all the Captains that had been at Piedmont for 10-20 years. You can't train experience.
