Gulfstream,
I have been with AWAC almost one year and have been on reserve the entire time. This is a result of United's uncertainty and the stabilizatoin of our AirTran fleet. We have been conducting newhire classes for several months now and most newhires are awarded lines by their 3-4th...
JetBlue Scope?
To any JetBluers out there, are there any scope limitations in your contract that you are aware of for RJ flying? I.E. 70, 90 seaters? Just curious,

AF Assignments
With regard to duty assignments, what is everyones experience/opinion as to how often you are allowed to compete for a new assignment/aircraft? In other words, how long can a new 2nd Lt. expect to remain on a KC-135 before they would have the option of transferring to a C-17...
CRAF & the Flag
What determines whether an a/c is required to display the US Flag on it's sides? I'm trying to figure out why some a/c: MD-80's, CRJ's, etc. have the flag displayed and others such as Dash-8's, Brasillas do not. I'm not quite sure if CRAF has anything to do with it. Thanks...
Anyone know if there is a reg that requires the US flag displayed on a US registered airliner? I know all of the heavies, and most RJ's have them but I rarely see the flag displayed on a turboprop. What is the reasoning for this???
Regional Pay
Driver,
I was reading your last post and wanted to make a comment regarding the 1st and 2nd Yr. regional pay you mentioned. I'm not sure where you recieved your info but most DECENT regionals start there F/O's around $25/HR. If you figure a pay credit of around 1000-1100 hrs a...
Half Full
Sedona,
This topic must be pretty important to you since you are on a public forum disrespecting other pilots you don't even know! You've never even met the guy and you've already laying into him like you're a drill sergeant. Sedona, let me ask you this...What makes you so...

Latest rumor which has come from the sim instructors in Denver is that AWAC is gearing up for new hires in March. The instructors just had their monthly meeting a few days ago and supposedly management told them that new hire training will resume in March.
One other bit of gossip is that the...
Just heard from Kristi in recruitment. She said there will be no class in early February like the rumor mill has mentioned. She spoke to the chief pilot today and he said there was a remote chance of a late Feb. class otherwise we're looking at MAYBE March now.
I was hoping to hear some...
Feb Class
Is there anyone else out there who was "hired" at AWAC in October? I interviewed on October 30 and was curious as to how many people from October are still waiting for a class. If so, what have they mentioned to you about a class date?
I met a guy today who was "hired" in the...

Avro,
I'm in the same situation you're in. I work for a wholly-owned regional, Piedmont, have been hired by AW, and am expecting a call within the next week or two with a class date.
As far as the Comair situation, definately go to the interview, see what your impressions of the...
Just heard from Kristi in pilot recruitment today. The January classes that everyone has talked about aren't going to happen. She said the training department called her yesterday and told her the next class will be Feb 3. No word on how many or what type A/C.
Something else interesting to...
New Info?
Dairy,
I'm just curious if your friend who interviewed today had any news to pass on to you about upcoming classes at AWAC. Did they tell him/her when the next class will be? Thanks,
Titan
Plug?
I keep reading about the possibility of the plug being removed on a new type CRJ. Can anyone tell me what you mean when you say plug. What does it do?
Maybe a few AWAC pilots could answer this question for me. Somebody at AWAC mentioned that the latest system wide bid showed 12 unfilled pilot positions. I'm not real familiar with the AWAC's bidding format but does this mean that these 12 openings will be filled by new hires, probably in...
AWAC update
I've heard the same thing regarding calls for a Feb/March class from a friend of mine. He got the update call today about Feb/Mar. He was hired during the second week of Nov and I think is about 16 or 17 in the pool.
I'm still hoping the January class goes. I was hired in...
More Fuel
Just heard that the President has stated AWAC is having legal troubles breaking the Dornier leasing contracts and they might not be leaving as anticipated. Anyone else hear anything about this??
