From the inside
As told to us from our VP, we will be rather stagnant for the next year or longer. As told to us by one of our CP, upgrade is expected to be 4 to 4.5 years. Pay rates for F/O's are better than Airlink (sorry guys) just a shy better than Mesa (at least they have a future, long term contrcact with AWA/Airways) and miles behind the others. Contract is valid til 09' (and trust me, we have nothing like AWAC). Hiring will continue next year, but they are mainly just tring to keep up with the attrition (as high as 20%, I understand). Wholly owned by a mainline carrier isn't always as privileged as it appears
