Job Opening, Air Wisconsin CRJ First Officers

[CaptainChris77]

How is the base seniority looking? Is ORF fairly senior?

AWAC has a lot of stuff going on right now with respect to bases. LGA HAS to be closing, although they have not said anything. We just lost the UAL RFP, and I am willing to bet that they were waiting on that decision to announce what would happen with LGA/RDU.

As for working here---good company, but right now no future past 2015. Based on that, anyone hired Jan 2010, would be a right seater for 5 years and then unemployed. Maybe something happens, maybe it doesn't? Nobody knows.

We still have a boatload of downgraded guys, they will probably upgrade again this spring. On top of that we have had FO's and CA's quitting. Not just guys turning down recall. I know of two CA's in Nov and two FO's. This has been going on now for about a year or so and nobody has been replaced in either position. So they HAVE to do something when USAirways unloads our summer schedules on us this spring. Thats all I have to offer that is fact and not "I heard...."

is anyone with a mac having trouble filling out the profile for the website? i filled out the application but the personal profile which has the "copy your resume here" section does not allow me to continue. at the bottom it says you can upload a resume file on the next page. i click next and i get a page full of code and errors?? this happens with both safari and firefox. am i the only one?

Air Wisconsin is not Mac friendly. Their entire computer network is Microsoft based and people with Macs have a lot of trouble doing company business of any type.

 

[sayrejm]

well then.... that sucks

 

[sayrejm]

well what do you know, as soon as I call them to ask about it, it starts working again.... guess it was just down for mx. thanks

This hiring is probably due to retirements, the pilot shortage is here.

 

[LaGarbage Man]

Quick, Somebody call Kit Darby !!

 

[sayrejm]

didnt he go out of business?

 

[Hobit]

didnt he go out of business?

Because:
1. The 'shortage' was a scam
2. He was a scam

 

[sayrejm]

i did like the magazine though

Does anyone know if they will contact you if your not accepted. I've applied to 4 airlines total now and only one ever responded with a negative answer.

good one... couple airlines furloughing s couple hundred pilots each and one that "may" be hiring some in 2010 means the pilot shortage is here?

Last I heard, about 6000+ furloughed on the street

Get used to it.....been furloughed over a year now with dozens of apps/resumes out and more often than not, you won't hear ANYTHING.

That is odd. You are supposed to get a certified letter each time regardless of the good or bad news. Usually it comes after one week of the application. Wait for it............... If you don't hear from someone in 5 minutes to a day or two after you submit your resume the chances of them calling are close to 0 as you're probably in a pile of excess resumes.

 

[sayrejm]

the lady on the phone told me they will not be reviewing the applications for a few weeks, so don't expect anything.... so says the lady on the phone. who knows what will actually happen.

 

[ILLINI]

From what i've heard, they were accepting resumes just to see what type of people would apply. They want to know what they will have to work with and how many people might be interested. I wouldn't expect them to start offering interviews for a while still.

 

[n757st]

Nope, we are accepting resumes for possible winter/spring classes. We need the FOs hired then so that they can fill in when we upgrade guys in Feb-april time frame. I think we are looking to hire 20-40, depending on how many furloughs accept recall.

Guess I'm not even going to be considered, if they only need that many people.

 

[sayrejm]

Theres a great attitude! you should just not apply, why waste the time
