40% split?? No it’s more like 70% split pairing. I think last month there were less than 20 4 day trips totals. Not to mention NO hotels that have a reliable shuttle. Even the holiday inn shuttle stops working or isn’t available at random times. The holiday inn stopped honoring the crew rate and it stopped showing up on the travel site for us to book at random times. All the crash pads require a roughly $15-20 Uber. Which on reserve means you could be spending $100-150+ a week in Uber

A Couple general schedule questions
 
- How prevalent are high-speed or standup overnights at Air Whisky? Particularly out of DAY, IAD, and MKE?

- Once a pilot (FO or CA) can hold a line, what is the consistency of the trip construction? Are they typically AM or PM schedules? Or do they oscillate between mornings and nights within trips? E.g. first two days of a 4 day trip are mornings, last two days are nights, etc.

- To the general audience of Air Whisky pilots here: is there anything you wish you knew before joining Air Whisky? Anything helpful you think others should know before hopping on board? [barring any discussions of the contract ending in Feb-2023]

Thank you in advance.

1.Standups arent very common except for a couple of lines that have them exclusively. I've only done three in four years here.

2. Show times change throughout the trip. Wouldn't say anything is consistent.

3. Training here is not as scary as these forums can make it sound. Keep a good attitude, show your instructors that you're trainable and you'll have no problem. If you don't leave training here with a couple good downtown Appleton Saturday night stories you're doing it wrong.
