Anyone heard from Air Wisconsin yet?

I heard some people got a email saying thanks but no thanks, any phone calls for interviews?

 

[sayrejm]

I have not. Which is why I wonder after hearing everyone else saying they have heard something. Or, my stuff got lost.

I got a thanks but not thanks and I think I applied about 2 years ago, they're flushing out the system probably. Hang on tight, you might have a chance by next year.

 

[AgreenFO]

Yeah thats what some people are saying as well. But I haven't heard of anyone being called for an interview yet, so maybe in 25 years i'll get a call for a baggage handler job interview.

Still 14 or so on furlough. I don't see them interviewing till they recall the last batch. That will take a month or two. Plus nothing happens in Appleton during December, nothing.

cool thanks,

3000 hours in type of which over 1000 is PIC at another regional and 2 type ratings. I am not qualified according to the email I recieved.

Quite possibly because you have an NJA seniority number. I've heard that none of us have had any luck at Air Wis (I DON'T speak from experience on this one, didn't apply). Could also be that no one is getting anywhere yet since they still have pilots on the street. Who knows, time is gonna tell on this one.

Given how many ex-regional guys there are at NJA I'd hate to think we're gonna get the stink eye from a regional that might be hiring right now.

Not that'd it be fair...BUT:

AWAC management is smart enough to know that a furloughed NJA pilot will bolt just as soon as they can, because AWAC (any regional for that matter) cannot come close to matching the compensation and benefits that NJA offers.

Besides, during 2006-2007 I personally observed a trend that they preferred pilots with low to mid-time and no ATP/type ratings because of the odds they'd stick around a fair amount of time (which included me when I was hired).

Best of luck finding work...I know at least 3 NJA'ers myself on the streets in a couple weeks.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. Not that it might help much in most places, but I think the only way any of us will find our way back into many airlines will take some outside pressure. Our hiring dept gave anyone with the mins a fair chance at a job with NJA (save for the last few months of hiring). Would be nice if we get the same fair shot.

Then again this could all be premature meaningless banter and these guys have been shot down for other reasons. Personally I'd hope that all the AWAC furloughees are in class before any of us NJA types got an interview.
