Midwest Airlines Interviewing and Hiring

[Ty Webb]

If Ty was hired at Midwest he would be bragging up how great that place is. He is a dime a dozen, everything he does/owns is the best there is. A real product of his own environment.

My first and last post about this "guy"

Sounds like another cranky guy with a bad case of E.D. and shoes that pinch.

Welcome aboard. Every message board needs an Official Idiot, and I nominate you. Of course, you've been on this board for two years, and you have only posted 24 times, so if you want to hang onto your title, you'll have to be a little more prolific.

Speaking of titles:

D.O., huh? I'm impressed. What's that mean? Does that mean that you get to pick who has to dump the honeypot at the end of the trip? Or do you get to drive the rental car on the overnights?

The interviewing and hiring will be conducted by SKYWAYS.

I hate to interupt a pissing match with pertinent information but I would be surprised to see any off the street hiring at Midwest. They are hiring to fill seats to satisfy an accelerated aircraft delivery schedule (something like 4 717's in the last quarter instead of 2, I think). They are using skyway guys due to the fact that the background checks have already been done, in house. A pria check still has to be completed but since the same person doing the check is also the one doing the hiring the process is faster and cheaper. I used to work at skyway and left for qol issues but it would be difficult to find a better group of people, and since a lot of them have moved on to midwest, the same goes for that group. With that being said I would like to give everyone an idea of the brain trust running the whole shabang. Recently, all of the midwest rampers were given the option of working at skyway wages and starting over with new DOH or finding a new job a different company. Most left. The new ramp staff totally melted down. Midwest then starts calling all of the people that they just bent over and canned and offerred them a job to TRAIN THEIR REPLACEMENTS at rates of pay higher than when they left. Circle jerks like this are a daily, if not hourly occurance.

Sometimes it's like the best tings happen to dudes after they have to be dealin wit failure, like good ole Ty Webb and Pres Abe Linkin (who dey named Linkin Park after, which rocks!!!)

My impression of Ty is that of an aviation flunkie pretending to be an airline captain. He sounds like he is 15 and looking forward to his sophmore year in high school. This guy can't be for real.

 

[metroplex]

they interviewed only skyway guys for now. 16 got hired with 5 starting today in the MD 80. the other 11 are in the pool. class of 10 (all recalls for now) start 8/31.if someone does not show up they take guys out of the pool. 10/5 class of 8, 4 MD 80, 4 B717. in november another class all B717. they will accept soon resumes from outsiders. accelerated delivery for 2 more this year and 3 more in the first 6 months.(total of 25 .) midwest has its problems, pays better than allegiant, has good schedules on the MD 80. good luck

When Midwest furloughs again, do the skyway guys get to go back to thier old jobs?

Like him or not, he is real. And he is a 737 Captain for Air Tran. Whether you want to believe it or not, this is an absolute fact.

We won't furlough again. Can't cover the schedule now. To much flying for to few fliers.

If I were a high school sophomore with a son in middle school, I wouldn;t have to fly for a living . . . . .

take it easy there, Gramps, you're gonna get your hiatal hyena all wound up again . . . . . I thought you were done with this string . . . .

Ha Ha Ha. You are so cute. I am done with you darling. Now go wash up for supper. You have a soccer game to play. Twerp.

Air Tran must not do any I.Q. tests. This guy is a joke.

This is true . . . .

Yank, what're your plans? You aren't the Sun City Center type . . . is there a boat in your future . . . or are you moving to a villa somewhere in the lower latitudes? Please don't tell us it's Punta Gorda and a golf cart . . . .

 

[nimtz]

No shame in being turned down by an airline.

I would rather be turned down by Midwest than try to justify why I was hired at 450tt at UAL in 1992 when there were thousands of experienced pilots on the street.

I like your name, though. It's like a cross between "numnutz" and "dimwits".

Ah, there's the fcharter we all miss so much!

I'll match wits with you, anytime, Chucky-boy . . . . and I'll even spot you 20 points.

From looking at your avator, I wouldn't try to match wits with anyone except the gay bar where you hang out. Just my opinion, Boy.

 

[Yank McCobb]

Ty,

You're right about not being the Sun City type. I don't really play golf either, so that rules out Punta Gorda and the golf cart. The boat already exists though, and it's down in Kemah, TX. Just got back from 10 days down there and thought I'd check in to see what was happening here. Even though I won't be a regular, I can't completely go cold turkey from all the fun.

You're killing me. . . . .

I remember all those guys . . . . . NavyGuy, JeffG, FlyDeltaJets, WantfriesWiththat, A-squared, Enigma . . . well, at least the last two are still around here.

Geez, I sound as nostalgic as ol' Chuckles here, thinking back to his first romantic encounter in the rumbleseat of his Model A Ford . . . . of course, he was alone at the time, but it was still a special moment for him.

Well, if that means you have already served out your last day on the line, I congratulate you for having completed a safe and successful career in our changing industry. I think you got out at the right time . . . . it doesn't seem likely to go up from here. . . . .

I hope you do keep posting here . . . . this board needs all the intelligent life forms it can get . . . . Glad to know you're enjoying the Gulf Coast waters.

Midwest is a great airline with just bad management, if the management can be replaced the company can be saved. When I worked in MKE for ZW I did most of my NRSA flying on YX and was reated amazingly well. Some of the greatest pilots and FA's I've ever been served by were on YX flights. I believe the fleet is currently 16 717's and 11 MD80/88's if I am wrong on the exact count could one of the YX guys here please correct my numbers. The 717's will eventually number at 25. MKE-HOU has been started in recent months and is probably the most neccessary route expansion thats been done. Great Carrier, would love to work there one day....as long as I don't have to live in MKE again

We all wish she were a captain at Midwest, only, she's about 100 pounds to thin.
