Air Wisconsin commuting
 
Does anybody know how difficult it would be to commute from Denver to Philedelphia or D.C working for Air Wisconsin? Just want to get an idea of what I would be getting myself into.

First, keep in mind DEN is where the current senior pilots are, and who will be commuting most likely to PHL because its the easiest commute.

Currently, the schedules aren't very commutable AT ALL. We're talking early shows on trip starts and late ends on the last day. It should improve with staffing increases but that'll take awhile with attrition.

In short, it'll suck.

Commuting from Madison WI
 
How hard would it be to commute to Chicago from Madison WI? Also, what are the chances Air Wisconsin will have a base in Wisconsin under US Air colors? Thanks...

MSN - ORD commute via Eagle and Skywest (UA).

AWACcommute Den to PHL, ORF
 
I've been doing it for 2 1/2 months now and unless you don't have a life outside of work, then I would run away screaming if I were you.
Expect 8-9 nights at home if you are lucky. I would suggest moving out to one of the east coast bases if you are set on AWAC. Quality of life right now if very poor especially if you commute, the trips are uncommutable period.
Sorry if I ruined your day, but that's the facts.

Well, it use to be pretty easy, but ORD base went bye bye. Wouldn't count on a MKE base, as that would have happened already.

I jumped ship like the rat I am, but from what I've heard the DEN-PHL commute is pure and total hell. Also hear the skeds are bad. If you want to work for AWAC, I would highly recommend heading east to live.
