Midwest Express

[ERJFO]

Who got that Midwest flying?

 

[SuperKooter]

Air Wisconsin

 

[SkyBoy1981]

Good for them. I'm glad to see someone besides the usual underbidders get it.

 

[MarineGrunt]

Really? When was this announced? Nothing on either company's website...

 

[EX_CV580FR8Dawg]

ummmmm....AWAC? that's news to us at MEH. Was just in recurrent and none of the management said anything..... maybe they know and are not saying anything but it hasnt been formally announced so the best thing might be to STFU.

 

[slackass]

Midwest Express? They dropped the express years ago. Unfortunately they can now be confused with Mesa's Air Midwest.

 

[Mongolikecandy]

Air Wisconsin

Not true, as an AWAC pilot, I am pretty sure.

and if they did get it, how do you know it wasn't the lowest? I'd love to have your crystal ball.

More than likely the people who got it WOULD be the underbidders...

 

[BoilerUP]

Midwest does not strike me as a "lowest bidder" type of operation.

I like you, your fanboy-sim is so much more subdued than skyboy's

I'm sorry, do you work for MEH?

Or does MEH own the company you work for?

fanboy-sim

 

[BoilerUP]

fanboyism is much different than fanboy-sim...which is what you said.

You work for RAH, right? Continental chose CHQ to replace XJT but it has been widely stated CHQ wasn't the lowest bid.

Besides, *if* AWAC gets that flying and *if* they were the lowest bidder (two VERY large ifs) it'll be because of cheap aircraft leases, already having mx on the airport and major tax benefits from the state of Wisconsin.

No "fanboy-sim" here boss, just the facts...

 

[SkyBoy1981]

AWAC's pilot group has been through rough times and I would be glad to see them get this flying. I know some of you will be devestated that your 2 year upgrade won't be shortened to a year and a half if your company doesn't win yet another bid for flying, but you'll get through it somehow. WI is home to a lot of the AWAC guys and this would really be good news for them.

So, what part of hoping to see a deserving pilot group get a break do you all have a problem with?

Wow some one should realy tell awac management so they can pick up the airplanes.

 

[EX_CV580FR8Dawg]

oh yeah...and they already have the ovens installed for the cookies...please!

 

[mynameisjim]

Lol just check the one mx log for removed/replaced for vendor demo

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

I didn't think anyone got the flying because they were all too expensive...

 

[Propsync]

Rumor is AirWisc. did not get the flying.........

 

[BoilerUP]

Rumor is AirWisc. did not get the flying.........

That wouldn't be a major suprise...so tell us, who is rumored to have won the bid?

 

[ground stop]

rumors are fun but don't mean crap.

 

[mynameisjim]

That wouldn't be a major suprise...so tell us, who is rumored to have won the bid?

agreed. there is no one out there who is saying 'we got it' or even 'we wish we get it' besides awac

 

[BankAccount=0$]

I got the "flying". I went up to MKE and made a very strong presentation to the folks at MEH and they just notified me that my phony baloney company was hired to do the flying. I convinced them to forget all about the airplane aspect of things, and concentrate on the money making potential of a fleet of Winnebagos. As I'm sure you are all well aware, Winnebagos are certified to operate with the installed oven for making cookies.

Also I'm undercutting all the other companies by using the tax advantages of buying my fleet from a Wisconsin manufacturer rather than the Holiday Rambler product built in Indiana. Sorry to all of those out there looking for a quick upgrade.........

Proving runs to start immediatly, followed by service to MDW, MSN, and SBN.

^How much did you make yourself take in concessions?^

Rumors are like A$$holes, everyone has one and they all stink.

 

[SuperKooter]

I guarnetee you it isn't XJT with the costs they have, becuase the koolaiders on this board somehow think they are getting it for some odd reason.

 

[SuperKooter]

Btw why does everyone care so much about this flying and that few planes frontier are trying to get.

The Delta RFP was for about 150 planes thats the big news. I have a feeling 2 airlines out west are going to be pretty happy next month
