Hey I liked it, but I had an issue with them that clearly violated the contract and we i and the union tried to resolve it they told us to pound sand. I made onto someones’ fecal list and parted ways with them. Others mileage may vary

A buddy was recently asked to resign because he unsat CPT. That’s cool, except he nailed CPT COLD had his stuff together and yes it shocked us. He flew trip 777’s and needed more experience (you know how that goes with expats) A 15 year Lear jet Captain was also asked to resign or be threatened with termination if he didn’t. Now that guy I observed as part of my CPT and I saw nothing wrong with his CPT.
So that’s all I’m saying. Believe it or not your choice, just be.....cautious

I wasn’t the only one that had a grievance and was treated like this. Whether you agree or not, and I sincerely hope nothing happens in your career there, I just want people to know what they may experience.

Oh well.
The people and crews are great to work with but I wouldn’t trust management PERIOD.

It may be a good Choice yet
The original question was considering how a potential change of ownership would affect pilots. It likely would not be a terrible thing, and could be just fine. Maybe a good company would buy it to merge. With current pilot market and economy, the crew and infrastructure that Air Wisconsin has is quite valuable and is very unlikely to be just thrown away.
On the issue of getting through training that has been brought up, could several people who have recently got through five give there insight and maybe some tips on how to be successful?
