Does anyone know how long a newhire can expect to sit reserve at AWAC? How senior is PHL?

Very hard to say...personnally I can't imagine it being that long, but with the transition to the east coast it may be longer that it technically should be due to the company keeping extra reserves to cover holes in the schedules. Just a guess ...my crystal ball was knocked of the table by a RAH pilot who saw his future.

All E-190 flying will only be done by mainline. The AWA/US MEC's and company agreed to that last week in a new transition agreement. They also will allow up to 93 CRJ900 or smaller at express.

"All E-190 flying will only be done by mainline." Finally! Someone is keeping those planes where they are supposed to be.

Thanks. I'm looking at making a career change from GA to the airlines, 135 one or two days a week isn't working. PHL is a one-leg commute so Air Wisconsin would be a perfect fit, assuming I could hold PHL.

PHL reserve would be possible as a new hire. A bunch of us from the new hire class in august were awarded it in training.

How hard is to get based out of ORF. I live in the Virginia Beach area. Do they take that into consideration? I am about to shoot my resume in. Hopefully 930tt and 180multi will make it happen.

HA!! Don't think they really would care where you lived. Just prove to them you are trainable.

ORF is almost a guarantee.

Anyone know what kind of times their looking for?

 

[BOHICAgain]

to those that recently interviewed or got hire by Air wisconsin..How long did it take for them to call or email for an interview from the time u sent your resume?....
And for those that work there can you give me some insight about being a reserve FO? QQL?

I think the fact that mainline secured the EMB-190 but essentially did not care about the CRJ900, it goes to show which is the superior product... not that it wasn't a debate in the beginning.

I am happy to see mainline is securing these 100 seat jets... I guess DAL and Airways have both done this with recently agreements, is that correct? Where does UAL stand?

Dumbest thing I've seen a pilot group do in a while. THEY SHOULD HAVE SECURED ALL 90 SEAT FLYING. Mark my words, they screwed themselves by just getting the E190.

Care to expand on what the future holds Nostradamus.

 

[Sioux115]

They probably didn't get the 900 flying probably partly because Mesa is already flying nearly 40 of them for pennies for HP.

Sure... in the 3 years that they are waiting on the Ejets to show up, the Express side of the house is going to ramp up another 93 airplanes flying 90 seats.

That flying COULD have been kept at mainline if they negotiated the size of an aircraft and not the type. A 90 seater is a 90 seater, I don't care where they hang the engines or where the carry-ons ride!!!!

Here's some facts that should help you out:

38 CRJ900 flown by mesa currently
27 E170 flown by REP/MDA currently or soon to be
28 CRJ900/E170 to be flown by someone
--------
93 total

28 planes is whats coming, not a great thing but could have been a lot worse.
Air Wisc will probably see something out of this, a 1 for 1 exchange for 50 seaters maybe.

I'm #3 from the bottom and was awarded my first choice - ORF. People in my class who wanted PHL got it as well. DCA went more senior, I don't think anyone in my class got it. My instructor is a CRJ captain with 6 years and they are a captain in DCA on reserve.

Your times are very competitive. You'd get a call for sure.

I plan on sending it in in the next week or 2. Finishing up some hour building in a twin. Do they grill your logbooks pretty badly or do the check all the endorsements and the hours check out?

I took mine along for all the good it did, they never even asked to see it but you never know! Have it filled out just incase.

 

[DirkkDiggler]

If you're even considering showing up to an interview with a sketchy or incomplete logbook because you don't think it's important, save yourself the trouble and don't bother showing up. If you can't be bothered to bring in a neat logbook with accurate data, how can the company expect you to be diligent in your work when you get here?
