Default Great PR for AW

Makes you think twice about saying dumb sh#t over the radio, you never know who is listening.

“Very bumpy on descent. Pretty much everyone on the plane threw up,” the pilot said in the report, according to NBC 4 Washington.

It was not AWA. That flight had landed before that Pirep was even put out. It was from a different company.

“Air Wisconsin Flight 3833 operating as United Express from Charlottesville, Va. to Washington Dulles International encountered turbulence because of high winds,” United Airlines said in a statement.

It’s on CNN now. Fake news?

That's usually how it works.

Default The plot thickens...

From a recent Newsweek article

Flight 3833 departed from Charlottesville at 6:30 a.m. Friday and arrived at 7:19 a.m., about nine minutes ahead of schedule, NBC Washington reported. The CRJ-200 has the capacity to seat about 50 passengers in the main cabin. It is unclear how many were on board.

According to an initial statement by Air Wisconsin, which said it operated the flight, the plane “encountered turbulence because of high winds.” Air Wisconsin later rescinded the statement, saying the pilot's report was not from them, ABC News's Jeffrey Cooks reported.

United then confirmed to Newsweek that Air Wisconsin had operated the flight.


This is all google searchable, and just amusing because most people will wonder what an Air Wisconsin flight was doing in Virginia.

If it's not ZW then who else operates UEX flights into Dulles using CRJ-200? Bueller? Bueller?

At least they didn't pull a GoJet.

It’s been confirmed by our Chief Pilot and Director of Flying that it was not us.
