Any time I’ve had a legit reason not to accept a junior man, they’ve let me off the hook with no penalty. Never been second guessed for calling in sick either.

After 8 years and no strike vote? Obviously pilots want pay increases and without them, they’ll vote no.
I had one or two issues where a rep would say “sorry nothing I can do for you.”
I once got an UNAV for declining a junior man assignment and they wouldn’t fight for me.
Oh well. It is what it is.

I was glad to see your post concerning AW. I have two sons (Vero Beach & Las Vegas) that will be going to the regionals about this time next year. I told them to do the the flying, and that I would do the research for their decision. They will not be going to the same regional.
It's like family CRM. Of course the industry is fluid, so it will be somewhat different 12 months from now; however, all of the information that I will digest in the mean time will be beneficial. In reading multiple sites, several factors seem to stand out: Management sucks, training standards are marginal, and the company will lose its flying since all of their RJ's will be impacted by their marketing agreement. LOL.

Air Wisconsin is known for having standards that are high, in many cases higher than what most would consider “fair.”
I believe that’s what the general tone of this thread has been. The “marginal standards” statement by the former naval aviator that goes by “ok 3 wire” (despite clearly being a helicopter parent) is most likely alluding to the concerns some have voiced about how new pilots here are evaluated. Try to keep up. I know it’s tough without autothrottles and VNAV.

Applicant: “well, I’m not really sure. I did all the flying, while my dad evaluated my choices. He came to the conclusion that your airline was best for me.”
