Air Whisky Hiring??

[Lampshade]

As a AWA/USairways guy I think AWAC has a great future if the aquistion takes off. AWAC will be the largest regional for the new USairways in 2.5 years. West coast expansion will come at the expense of Mesa.

Don't forget AWAC is the second largest shareholder. The low-time naysayers will be 'beating themselves' for missing this opportunity if things go the way I predicted.

Its not that bad at AWAC and i understand trying to be optimistic, but who are you AWAC guys kidding??
what are they putting in the water up there in appleton?


growth for that company is too risky, and it wont happen, the amigo's have too much risk for their liking right now!! a new hire FO there today will be on reserve for 2 years and upgrade at the earliest in 6-8 years.

i dont understand why with all of the regional airline opportunity out there right now why you would go to AWAC? its like going to Eastern in 1989. Who are these people going there? OH wait, CAE guys with 300 hours total time.

Well if that's your attitude, then by all means stay away. Apply elsewhere. We don't need people like you working here

AWAC as a company is doing just fine. The only "problem" we have here is just that we don't know what the next year or so is going to bring. Name me one other carrier that doesn't have that same problem.

For the record I predict in the next five years there will be growth, a new aircraft type, and we will have a new agreement with United.

and we will have a new agreement with United.

Why not. They fired Mesa twice and sued them once! Just get rid of the bankruptcy bean counters in 6 months see how the whole thing really shakes out.

How about those 146's? I like the rumor these days that United is having trouble finding something to replace the BAE in ASPEN.

F UAL. Let 'em rot.

Yep, the displacement of 146 guys has slowed (not sure if stopped) and word is that United has asked for 5 146s to stay in the system for Aspen. I've been told that the response was "we keep 10 or none".

If they losers at uniTED have us keep any of the 146, we better keep our travel bennies also. God I hate united, they need to die already.

Your name says XJSlave, your profile says Mesaba FO, and you are implying that you work at Air Wisconsin.

The training of the 146 guys has not stopped. It has been slowed but mostly because we had 2 aircraft that were supposed to be taken off line but were not because of that cl-65 ad scheduale. They have been parked as of this past week. There is a class in training right now and there is another planned for august. Yes, we told them at least 10 or none, but I believe that united hs not gotten back to us yet. more new hire classes planned as long as attrition stays high. Scott O. is coming into recurrent classes and saying that there are good things on the horizen and we may even be back working for UAL within a year or two. I personnelly am not excited about that at all.

You state that "we told them 10 or none", were you in on the negotiation or do you just believe a rumor that you heard from a guy who has a buddy who knows a guy that was walking past the check airman recurrent in ATW and heard this?
Man if you believe that sh!t out of managements mouth then you will probably believe anything.
