Midwest Connect curbs service to U.P.

Midwest Connect plans to drop service to four communities in rural Michigan this spring, a company spokeswoman said.

Midwest Connect, a regional carrier affiliated with Oak Creek-based Midwest Airlines, currently serves Escanaba, Iron Mountain and Ironwood -- all of which are in the Upper Peninsula -- as well as Manistee through a program subsidized by the U.S. Department of Transportation, said spokeswoman Carol Skornicka. The program pays airlines that serve small, remote destinations.

Midwest Connect plans to drop out of the program when its contract ends May 31 because the carrier is phasing out its use of turboprop aircraft, Skornicka said. Another carrier, Great Lakes Aviation, is seeking to pick up the subsidized service after Midwest Connect's contract ends, she said.

Training

could someone please fill me in on training.
What is the pay?
Is housing provided?
How long is training?

(Now, it's been a long time since I was a new-hire, so if someone with more recent experience chimes in, I'd take their word over mine, but here it is...)

Pay- 1st year FO pay starts first day of ground school.
Housing- We stayed at the Red Roof down the street from HQ. We got a Skyway discount; the ground school instructors might be able to offer more current suggestions, but at the least there are a few hotels near HQ.
Training- About 3-4 weeks ground school, 10 stimulator sessions, mixed in with a few days off, oral exam, sitting time between ground and sim training, etc. Probably 2 to 2.5 months from beginning to completing sim training.

Good luck! Any word on if you're going to the Beech or Dorkjet?

 

[l-ron]

thanks for the response. In the interview they told me it would be a jet class. But we all know how quickly things change.

Hi!

Glad U got the job, and I hope it goes good for you.

They wouldn't interview me, I think because I was in a non-flying job.
