[last call]

Any good news coming from that airline? All I am hearing is the negative.

nope....

 

[BoilerUP]

Any good news? No. Any bad news (furloughs, loss of flying, etc)? No.

Status quo is 70 airplanes and ~800 pilots.

 

[orangeskysurfer]

No news is good news in my book!!

I love that a guy who calls himself "last call" just asked about Air Wisconsin... It sounds like you might fit right in!

I just applied with Air Wisconsin today. Anyone have any idea how long it takes to hear back from them?

Did you just e-mail your resume in?

 

[andym037]

Yeah. Why, was that the wrong way to do it?

Fedex it with a little wine and cheese. Put "attention: 3 amigos, mis jeffes favoritos"
They'll be smilin, and you'll be stylin in your snappy 200 series Canadian Space Shuttle.

Next class is sometime in March (subject to cahnge) and it's due to attrition only, which has been slow.

 

[AirHead99]

Did the February class get postponed?

I would not come to Air Wisconsin when others are having major hiring going on. This company's management has shown time and time again they are not interested in flying airplanes anymore. We have our 70 jets now but for how long?? We could not land any of the recent RFP's and only have a home for our RJ's thanks to all the employee's concessions which in the end we were all lied to and displaced. The owners of AWAC are smart people but they are into belt loaders not E170's. I have been here 3 years and I think wish I went somewhere else!

Just my 2cents. Whiskey is a ok place to be but I would go to SKYW, CHQ, or Coex.

As for those who are thinking about AWAC, words of advise like the previous post. I e-mailed and web-submitted my application along with another co-worker of mine mid october. We had the EXACT same hours in EVERY single category of flight (IFR, NIGHT, MULTI, etc). I was called three weeks later. To this day he hasn't gotten a call back. When I interviewed I was with some who were waiting 4 months, others 4 weeks after submitting. I have no idea HOW they decide WHO to pick, but like everyone has been saying. pay is good, QOL is almost second to none. but no growth. So... go with what you would like better, left seat sometime this decade or more money for the year


my 2 cents....

If you've been here 3 years then you've either upgraded or turned down an upgrade. What are your complaints?

Would you like my slot?? Just cause you can hold CA does not make AWAC a better place to be at!

My complaints.

1. Schedules

2. Bases

3. Management-Liers



I do however like the people that I work with they are top notch crew members and have weathered the storm quite well.

If you are from the east coast I guess AWAC is a good place. I did not come to Air Wisconsin to commute. There is a reason that 75% of our group commutes it is a lack of interest in our two bases. ORF has its own crowd and I am glad to see that morale is better down there.
