Maybe, or they were waiting to see if their negotiating position improved, and positioned their wholly owned company's to absorb the work if a deal couldn't be reached. Why would AA want to negotiate with only one option? It's obvious that they started to beef up the WO carriers 3 years ago because AWAC was expensive, but since then their cost have been competitive, but AA isn't against putting the screws to a company without a contract.

Had Kirby not gone over to United from AA and shifted UALs focus to increasing profits on its domestic network I think AWAC would have been left out in the cold.
I'm glad it worked out for the AWAC crowd. It sure wasn't looking good there for a while. Congrats!

Remember when you said nobody would touch AWAC because they didn't have a contract ironed out between the pilot group and management????
Guess they didn't need to take concessions to gain new flying, unlike others that have in the not so distant past. Use your imagination on who I might be referring to.

Current (13+ year old) book is at the bottom of the list when it comes to other regional contracts. Of course there is no need to take concessions and somehow the last concessionary TA (from current book) almost passed.
