Air Wisconsin interview dates

[Hypoxik]

Noticed, that Wisky is looking for F.O.'s right now, has anybody received calls? A few of us put in two weeks ago and are waiting...
Thanks

P.S. Sounds like Wisky is a fairly respectable regional option right?

I am in the same boat 2 weeks no call, i bet calls will go out after the holidays.

They are doing on the spot interviews at DFW in January at Air-Inc job fair. Pretty much everything stops for the holiday season up in Toon-town.

I got a call in late december and have an interview the middle of jan. They have a ton of interview dates open. I sent in my resume in october, and then it was walked in 3 days before the call. I would suguest that you have it walked in if you can.

Yep, most are on vacation. Expect strong recruitment after the new year. If you are East coast or willing to deal with commuting to east coast (or move) then now is definitely the time to get in at AWAC. I don't recommend the commute but if you can deal with it then go for it. We are hiring like crazy for attrition. (yes, the schedules are bad). Whichever came first, the chicken or the egg (bad schedules or pilot attrition) makes no difference now. Schedules will only improve when we can staff up to descent levels. Even if schedules improve attrition probably won't slow but they will keep hiring until they get to where they want to be.

Had mine walked in a few weeks ago...nothing yet...

 

[Hipster Loser]

What are the low end minimums to get interviewed.

How long will the hiring go on over there?

Thanks.

 

[Hypoxik]

Ah well thats the way it is..don't know anyone at Wisky. Had stuff walked in to Mesa, and XJ a few weeks ago as well. Hopefully will hear back this week...
Just seems like Wisky would be the best option with XJ right there as well.

With the way things are developing at Indy, we'll hopefully be taking a lot of them

YA YOU DONT COUNT! If your profile is right you have 7,000 hrs and an ATP, why are you going to Wisky?

I heard they want to hire 300 and upgrade at least 180 CA's for 2006. Like the others have said, be patient, they'll be behind after the first of the year so they should be calling.

Well just got the INDY news that is too bad for them but even worse for the people trying to break into the Regionals. Hell if I was Wisky or any of them id prefer CRj typed crew....
Happy New Year right
Ill keep my chin up....and enjoy my tanning effort out here in Hawaii

Even though there is some hiring going on at the majors, they aren't exactly hiring in great numbers. It is still very tough to get on. Of all the regionals, Air Wisconsin is one of the top two or three. A very viable option for many guys with higer time needing a place to go.

It will be hard for many to start over again as an FO at a regional. If you have to start over AWAC would be a good place to do it. If the past is any indicator AWAC will hire pilots with a wide range of experience based primarily on their personal skills. A CRJ pilot looking for a fresh start somewhere would be a great candidate. Good luck.
