Hiring Again?!
New email from our president states we are going to start hiring pilots again! No time table but sounded like immediately.

I mean I want to believe it, but I’ve been hurt before...😝

Now is the right time to start training. If they have a class in April, the new pilots will be getting on IOE around June. I'd suspect that they will start scheduling the first class no later than mid-April to take full advantage of this opportunity. I would not be surprised if there was another realignment with lots of upgrades soon to be able to utilize all those new FOs. |
Best news I've heard in a while. Wonder if it's coincidental that we get this news just after the 700/900 rates? Union and company clearly stated that nothing was lined up so I expect so, but great news either way!

That's great news for you folks, so are all pilots being put on active flying status vs sitting at home and being paid through PSP?

Anyone know if they're bringing back people that were offered CJO's or had started training? I would think they'd start there first (or I hope, I fall into that bucket).

Well, I'm thinking this email just came out on Friday afternoon, and my understanding is that most (really everyone I know) in their HR/recruiting department were let go last year, so we have to give them at least a little bit to get ramped up and start reaching out to people.

So there are still pilots that are inactive but paid through PSP and previous CJO holders weren't called yet? Kind of fishy, sounds like best case they are interviewing into a "pool" only.

What is most critical here is that someone gets the importance of Cherie Berry in your lives.

If you've ever been in a hotel elevator in North Carolina you should know. |
They might think about making sure their furloughed pilots are paid what they are owed, and called back to training before they open a pie in the sky hiring window...

thanks for the laugh. |
Elevator Queen
But you will have a new face soon as she did not run again!
Loved the elevator humor. It was uplifting. |
Class Info
Just created an account today so lets see if I can do this right.
Had an April 2020 class date and received an email today saying the first few classes will be for those who already have ATP/CTP completed or an ATP. I cant imagine many guys coming into those class dates with either of those already completed. Hopefully only a class or two and then they will be back to offering the atp/ctp course! |
ZW is requiring ATP-CTP and written completed from previous CJOs in order to get a new class date

Elevator Inspector sounds like a good job, but it has it’s ups and downs. It’s a job you can start out on the ground floor and move up to the top. It’s really an uplifting experience. As they say in the business, when one door closes, another one closes.
You’ve been a great audience, tip your servers! |

It's an easy way to say they want TSA, Compass, and XJT folks. They were already on that path back in the first days of the virus. And look how many Commair alums are at AWAC for a historical basis.
They'll eventually have to accept guys without the ATP written completed. Sent from my SM-A516U1 using Tapatalk |
I think it shows we're really not looking to hire very many people. Need to "contain costs"

Good luck luring in the compass, TSA, XJT guys with that first year pay rate. Especially with places like endeavor hiring...

Good to see the options are continuing to expand, though. There are still a lot of Compass, TSH, and XJT peeps that are running out of unemployment. Even though Air Wisconsin might not be there new home, it should spark others to restart hiring or risk losing out on theses experienced crews that will be Captain eligible before long.

These are businesses where the goal is to make money. No one is going to "restart hiring" earlier than necessary if there isn't a need for it. The fact that you think if AW starts hiring/training is going to force others to fire up their training departments is laughable.
