ACA to buy Air Wisconsin !?!

[AWACoff]

It's a privately owned venture. 3 silent partners and 3 that work upstairs at ATW.

If this did happen, it would be real hard on the AWA pilots after working so hard on a good contract to have to merge it with the ACA contract. No winners on the Willie side in that deal.

True, but our contract has wording in it to avoid this very situation. If the company is sold in whole, or broken up and parts are sold, the pilots go with the aircraft or the sale is illegal. With those sold pilots goes their current work agreement. So, say ACA bought all our RJ's. AirWis pilots would go to ACA to fly those aircraft, get a higher pay and keep their work rules. The problem is the contract would eventually expire and ACA work rules would have to be adopted. That would be no good. This clause was added due the the crap Yo-nited pulled on AirWis in the early 90's where a bunch of pilots got screwed when Yo-nited re-orginized the company, selling off parts of the operation.

And my guess would be that the silent 3 would be,
U, A, & L.
The reason behind this guesstimate, any expenditures that
exceed $1000.00 have to be approved by UAL...
Isn't that ironic...
