Hey Propsync.....

do you have any roots in Iowa?

midwest airlines/skyway contact

congratulations on the new job...

does anyone have current contact info for chief pilot/recruiting at skyway airlines?

tbkane,

I'm curious --- they don't require you to resign your seniority at Skyway?

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this morning that, while Skyway is hiring, Midwest still has 100 pilots on furlough. (I used to be one of them --- now, I'm at much greener pastures.)

If it's true that they don't require resignation of seniority, then why aren't they allowing any of the Midwest guys to flow back?

Just out of curiosity... I'm confused by the posts --- were you DAL mainline, or the "other CVG" operator you mentioned?

Giving up your number for Skyway depends. It depends mostly if they can see you'll stay long enough to get the cost of training out of you. If you are 3000 down and out somewhere, I'd say they would hire in a heartbeat. If you were ten away from recall, they probably won't bother.

Flowback- We have NEVER had a flow program with ME/A (What do we call Midwest now?). Flowback wouldn't work at such a small airline, and I wonder if it really works anywhere else. The retraining costs would have just killed us here. It's cold to say, but it's easier to just furlough people than find them another job to do. Put the burden on the employee, that's been the TIMMY logic all along.

For the post on who to contact- check a page or two back in the regional forum to see that info. The thread is Skyway Hiring? I think. Good luck

DH106- But won't you miss the cookies? J/K Good for you.

 

[DH106]

Ha ha ha!!!

Yeah... I miss the cookies --- about as much as I miss waking-up, screaming, in a cold sweat!!!

The greasy pole is there for all of us --- it's just getting harder to climb up it, these days. : )

Take care!

Talked to a Midex captain about that same thing in OMA last week, we should try working something out between the respective MEC's to give hiring prefernce(sp) to all furloughed MEA/DAL pilots since the rate of recalls is very slow. We have several furloughed pilots from other airlines.

greener pastures

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this morning that, while Skyway is hiring, Midwest still has 100 pilots on furlough. (I used to be one of them --- now, I'm at much greener pastures.)




Ahh, sweet, sweet greener pasures. DH106, isnt life great here?? Sure wish we would keep the hiring going though. Jobear, did they make you a captain yet? You must be getting close, which is a scary thought. Nice avatar by the way.

Skyway/Midwest made it public yesterday that they are pursuing a deal with Delta (like everyone didnt know). I sure hope it works out. If they get as many airplanes as planned, (10 now, 25 later????) everyone presently at Skyway will be a captain. Those of you looking to apply, I say get in NOW. The pay isnt great, but upgrade will be short if this deal goes through.

Geez Joe, I can only imagine. Mike was a great guy. My wife and I went to the airport today to the trees and said 'Hi'. I used to live with him and think about him all of the time and miss him a lot. How do you feel about flying with me (hopefully if all goes well) in a few months?
