That being said I say hang in there AWAC. Yes it's bad, you're a great pilot group that's riding a wave of the times and right now it's damn low for many contract carriers.
Piedmont was there also. Had one of the best contracts and had about 100 planes when we merged with ALG. Then we got beat down from about 100 aircraft to under 40. Like someone said it's hard when the gun is at your head and you got bills to pay and a family to support.
Right now management is probably trying to run off all the senior folks to cut cost. Right now you'll see planes going away. Bottom line is you'll take a beating but I think you'll come out of it.
Not sure how many of you feel, but maybe being bought by AA isn't too bad of a bad thing.
Good Luck!
