It came out at 1700 today. It is really bad news for all of our commuters as it is a true cost cutting effort to save on hotels in NY and RDU. 5 MX bases are never a good thing and considering 95% of our PHL CA's commute this will be awful..

Now for the people who are in driving distance it is a good deal..
 
is there any new flying to go with the bases, or is it purely to cut costs where there are lots of RONs?

good luck to you guys
 
The cost savings from shifting LGA RON expenses from the company (via hotels) to crewmembers (by making it a base) is nearly one million dollars.

RDU's savings will be equal if not exceeding that amount, but that's due to sheer number of RON crews there.

Save the hotel, save the world....
 
Yeah, but you fruitcakes haven't even mentioned the other base that's going to open before these two???
Or are you just assuming that won't open now until after RDU and LGA?
 
This is no surprise to me at all... This management team has had a 4 + year "red carpet ride" and opening two new bases has a total disrespect of people that have been here for 3 years. Shame on AWAC.

I cannot wait to leave this place just keeps getting worse.

That will be perfect for when they take over the AE flying out of LGA and RDU! ;)

Hey,
Really, I was just kidding around with ya'. LGA is a pain the butt, especially at night trying to find your way around with little lighting and gates that aren't marked very well...Welcome to our nightmare! Coffee is on us sometime.

I'll always fondly remember the first time I got screamed at by ramp for not properly entering on the West end...or was it East end.

And the time *one* single person was working both tower and ground frequencies and it took 35 minutes to get a push clearance off 7A one night.

And that day it took me 1:45 just to get our initial clearance at the gate.

Really too bad Chautauqua couldn't take over the bulk of the LGA flying, with them ALREADY HAVING A DOMICILE THERE AND ALL...

They probably will in about 12 months, then AWAC will close another base....
 
AWAC branded flying should have happened a long time ago as the company reclaimed it's independence. Air Wisconsin was once the 3rd largest carrier in Chicago and one of the most well known names for service to and from the mid-west.
