Midwest Flying

[SYX328]

Thats what everyone said about MCI and WN, but YX is holding their own in MCI

MCI is a hub, OMA is a hub, so that would leave AUS as the last one not open

so this guy apparently knows what's going to happen with the RFP but doesn't know what midwest hubs are currently open?

hmm....i call bs. the awac pilot group needs hope, but not false hope.

 

[Taildragon]

MKE is the only hub!
OMA use to be a hub!
MCI never a hub! D*umbs*it

Midwest will grow in 5 years, when every good market has been developed and there is no more money to be made.

You're all stuck thinking the new hub is in the USA. You need to start thinking Midwestern Hemisphere.

I heard that from a senior management guy at Midwest. Literally!

Figuratively.

Lets just hope a class act like AWAC comes out on top.

There are lots of concidences going on right now...

Skyway's ex-CEO becomes new CEO of AWAC...

Continued FO hiring despite slowed attrition...

Lots of ex-IDE CRJs in heavy mx facilities (could be related to CHQ?)...

Cookie oven venders in ATW...

-and last but not least-
OPTIMISM in the pilot group that this *might* actually happen!

We'll see what the coming weeks bring...it should be an interesting 2-3 months between the Midwest RFP and the contract arbitration.

Cookie oven vendors in ATW??? I think you are confused. Rich's Bakery brought cookies to the the airport for employee appreciation day. And there is a cookie factory in Ripon...good cookies but I can't remember the name. I love it when people take rumor as gospel. Believe it when you are signing the release.

Actually cookie vendors were in ATW, but KL explained that one, they needed to talk with them so they could put together the bid with all the info available. We will know in a couple weeks if we won or not, until then whatever.

Air Wisconsin made the first cut for this flying. Just found out today. What other airlines are still in the running??

Hey lets smatter company news all over the internet that comes from internal sources. Great idea....

It sure beats being the last to find out.

 

[hey]

Best of luck to both Air Wisconsin and ExpressJet.

How about best of luck to the skyway guys/gals! Hopefully addition of 328's and attrition will prevent the possibility of future furloughs......

Ive heard from reliable sources at Skyway that only CRJ operators are in the running right now for the RFP. That is rumored to be AWAC, Pinnacle, and Mesa. It seems like everybody is all fired up that AWAC already has it but don't jump the gun so soon. It is no secret at Skyway that our Ex-CEO Rankin who left for AWAC, left on horrible terms and management is pissed with him. Let's not forget that there could be some insider trading conflicts going on here too if AWAC gets it. I am not bashing AWAC at all. Infact they would probably be my first choice. But let's be honest. There are very few people at Skyway that want this RFP to go through, including me.

Thanks, It seems this thread can really care less what happens to Skyway pilots, with all the salivating going on.
