Job Opening, Air Wisconsin CRJ First Officers

[JudgeSmails218]

I got one too--I'd like to know what they're looking for. I've got over 6,000 hrs and jet PIC time. Too much I guess.

Well I know I have too little for their standards sounds like they want something in the middle.

Apply to Air Wisconsin or Commutair and see what happens. They are the two regional airlines currently accepting applications and resumes. If, at the end of the interview, you like the company or not, you have the right to accept or reject the position if they offer you a pilot job. In this day and age, pilots can't be too picky about what's out there. Take any flying job that's available and get the experience you may need some day for a better paying and more advanced flying position. In the end, the individual pilot applicant must do what is right for themselves. Good luck in your choices.

For better or worse, it sounds like the company doesn't want to look at pilots they KNOW will be leaving at the very first opportunity.

 

[Lynxman]

I'd be there for a long time I don't have the credentials to go anywhere else.

But they fly the CRJ, it's not the Dash8 or saab or props. Who would want to leave? Is it because it's the 200 and not the 7 and 9?

I just got off a trip to see my mail and I got the thanks but no thanks letter also. Good luck to the rest of you guys (and gals)!

 

[Lynxman]

I guess they don't want anyone...

I am currently an employee at AWAC and applied. 4,500 hrs and been with the company for a few years. Got the E-mail saying thanks but no thanks, they are looking for someone with better qualifications. Haha, I am not qualified---so should I just stop showing up for work? Hmm, they'd probably fire me if they could anyways.

This just goes to show that there is absolutely no human interaction in this process. It is all automated through this E-recruiting site. Bizzare but not suprising at all.

HAHAAHA I just got an email yesterday about we're going to look for someone else. I didn't even apply at least lately. They must be cleaning house.

 

[Lynxman]

Well what did you expect you work for GJ.

 

[no1pilot2000]

A question for those of you who are current or former regional pilots. Those who fly for the regionals do so with the purpose of hopefully working for a larger airlines (SWA, Airtran, and etc.). These carriers require pilot applicants to have a certain amount of experience in turbine powered airplanes. Other than flying in the military, the regional airline industry is the main way to get this flight experience.

I have read alot of negative comments about how bad the regional airlines are (poor pay, schedules, management, and etc.). If you could go back in time, would you still have flown for the regional airlines, found another way to get the experience (other than the military), or chosen another career field?
