Air Wisconsin holding recruiting sessions

[Mongolikecandy]

My common sense tells me that if somebody walks into an interview and presents theirself well, can speak intelligently

Anyone else see the irony?

Don't worry Mtnjam, if you decide not to take the job at air wisconsin, let me know and I'll set you up with a recommendation at my airline.

"Theirself"?

To quote UAL78, common sense isn't so common anymore...

didn't feel like reading through all of the posts but here is the current deal

bases as stated are going to be ORF, DCA and PHL
they are hoping to hire 30-40 a month for the next 8 months
upgrade time is quoted as 3.8 years but is getting shorter and shorter

 

[masedogg19]

one other thing
the published minimums dont necessarily apply
its just about knowing someone on the inside (as always)...that stack of resumes is much shorter and that group always seems to get a call

As of now there are two classes in November but none scheduled yet for December. I certainly think it will happen though, especialy if they're holding recruiting sessions right now. I haven't heard about them wanting to hire for the next 8 months though.

we were told at a recruiting session that awac is done for the year. they will start interviewing again in jan.

If we do stop interviewing, it's surely because the sims we have access to are full with 146 cross over training as well as the 40 or more upgrades just awarded in the last two alignments. We certainly need pilots so please continue updating and sending resumes. And please, don't have an attitude like you think you're the sh!t! Being humble and letting your skills represent yourself says a lot more about you than your words ever could. This is mainly directed at guys like Mtnjam. We don't want attitude here please.

Doing the math here, 30 people x 8 months = 240 new hires. That means they, according to masedogg19, are expecting over 25% of the pilots to leave? And that includes phasing out the 146's as well.

That seems really high to me...

My understanding is there's been a few upgrades latley that have been finnishing their OE and then quiting. So the realignments continue.

Figure in the wash outs and resignations over that time period. I also think that there will be alot of 146 CA's leaving as well because they're too senior to want to come down to the CRJ. That said, I still think the dust will start settling by around March after the IAD base closes. From that point attrition should slow towards normal and the hiring will slow with it. The only thing that would continue the hiring spree after that is growth and they've told us nothing about that.

AH YES, the one constant at AirWisco:
"You're on a need to know basis, and we'll let you know 2 months after you get there."

Washing out costs the company money, therefore I'm certain you can enjoy a few rounds before and after sims. Seriously, you'll have to be blowing some snow before they give you the boot.

I miss all the old Wisco guys on this board (like the pirate with the bottle). Whitecloud, Beechnut and Rottweiller are all that are left (and they can join me anytime). Wait, I think Rottweillers' gone too!

I'm sad, so you new guys better do some stupid things right from the beginning to make AWAC threads fun again!

Hopefully they'll hire some mooks with bladder control problems?
