Get a room guys!!!! =) AD

Ahhhh AD I see you got Jokes!!!! I love to play this game, let me know if we are really going to get started??

 

[crashpad]

AD is right, this is a thread about Air Wisco.
Hey, I got joke.

How many AWAC employees does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Two. One crewmember to screw in the bulb, and one adminstrator to kick the ladder out from underneath him.

Hey WD, how's life at AWAC without the C? Looks like you picked a good time to bail. Things aren't all bad though, next month I get a 21 hour overnight in New Orleans. Sweet! Gotta find some aspects of my job to like.

RR. You know how much I lobbied against that TA that THEY voted in and now they are starting to see that I wasn't some dumba$$ screaming bloody murder without purpose. I am contacted daily about the low moral over there and I am not even a little shocked as I saw the writing on the wall. I kinda see AWAC in a position of being bought by the Orinstein group. Dear GOD how I hope that doesn't happen but it would seem logical.

WD.

Thanks J32 for the great info. One question, what is the average monthly flying pay hours you guys get?

 

[J32driver]

Monthly average is probably ABOUT 85 hours. My last month was 79, my next month starts at 94 pay hours... and thats before I add at least 10 hours of sitting in the box.

 

[Mayday911]

For the last three months I have gotten paid between 109 and 113 hours of flight pay. And during that time I actually blocked 65-79 hours.

Mayday.

How about a new-hire reserve pilot? Would the same hours be accurate?

 

[Mayday911]

Back when I was on the 328 I was on reserve and would pick up as much OT as possible. I would fly around 20-30 hours a month and get paid for 80-85 hours. Not quite as good but alot better than most other regionals.

On reserve you can even pick up a trip that starts on your day off and carries into your reserve days. You get time and a half for the day that was scheduled off. And it all goes toward your guarantee.

Mayday

Any info/insight regarding if AWAC lost their Airtran Flying in Atlanta and how it might affect thier expansion in Dulles? Planes/Upgrades.

 

[XJslave]

AWAC has not lost the Airtran flying and there is no talk of us losing the Air Tran flying. We are in talks with Air Tran to add more aircraft. The sticking point are the 70 seaters. Air Tran wants us to fly 10, AWAC says we can't do less then 20. Until that is worked out there wont be any news. The higher ups said that we might be adding 20 50seaters.

The Dulles ops have nothing to do with the Air Tran side. We are getting more flights everymonth out of IAD. It's only a matter of time until we open a base there. We have put a bid in for more United flying, but there is no time frame for United to award any, so who knows.

And then to top all that off...

The Federal Bankruptcy Judge over seeing
UAL's Chapter 11 has granted UAL an extension
to come out of Chapter 11 at a later date.

This was in USA Today and Wall Street Urinal
yesterday.

Let's paint more planes...

I am NOT trying to spread rumors, but just so you know where this talk might be originating from, there was discussion on a recent from someone at Mesaba or BigSky claiming they had heard internally that BigSky was going to displace AWAC's Airtran flying in ATL with Mesaba pilots.

Hopefully, this puts this to rest if it deserves it.

So how do you get an interview with AirWhisky, I've faxed, mailed, emailed, and FedExed resumes, what are you guys doing?

 

[crashpad]

If you give it to the girl in your avatar to ride in I'm pretty sure it'll get noticed.

Oh-oh, here comes the FlightInfo Avatar Patrol...run!!!!

 

[spitfire1940]

yeah, aside from sending a naked chick on a bike to Appleton, how do I get an interview?

maybe engrave my resume in a huge piece of Wisconsin cheese?

anybody gotten an air Whiskey interview lately?

 

[socalpilot]

To get an interview you need to be a CommutAir pilot. They're taking our pilots faster than we can get them trained.

 

[FlightTraker]

It is pretty tough to get an interview if they won't even call former employees (dispatch) that get their resume walked in. I heard from the new pilot recruiter (Kristy no longer works there) that they won't low timers that are going to be there a while.
