AWAC is sending some people "next week" to IAD to interview pilots. How many we plan to hire, when, whether we will survive as a UEX carrier or not I don't know. No savior. Just some info.

And you all may already know all this so disregard if you know more than this little bit.

When is AWAC expecting to hear about their United Express flying? Isn't the announcement expected in a few weeks?

Best wishes to our compadres at AWAC.

Who knows. The original date was January 10th. And by my watch it's a freckle past a hair. I keep hoping soon but I'm thinking it's just a carrot hanging just past my nose.

Expect to hear something from ExpressJet, XJT ALPA, and Indy ALPA on the same subject in the next day or two.

Is this along the lines of taking a chunk of their pilots as a group or something?
