Don’t be deceiving to potential hires on APC, let the recruiters take care of that.

Had a few cancellations which resulted in repo flights. Cancellations are pay protected and repos are paid extra.

There is definitely premium pay without a doubt! If you want to try, crediting 150/month is not at all put of the question, especially with the new LOA we have. There is a lot of open time everyday and plenty of opportunity to work as much as Part 117 will let you.
Again, not everyone likes it, but if you want to hustle for hours and cash, we definitely have those available.

It's hard to say exactly because things are still changing so much post covid that we haven't had many months of normal ops. ORD as a crew base has been shrinking but then again we are getting a bunch more flying for it next month. Longer than a few months out, upgrade and times to a line are anyone's guess really.

The hubs are critically short every day while we have people sitting on their thumbs in DAY and MKE with no way to get them to the flying.

On a slightly different topic: How is a Commuter's life at Air Wisconsin? Understanding full well that Commuting sucks in general no matter where you're at, planes do seem pretty full these days. Would commuting out of ORD offer any relief with volume of flights per day? Or is that off-set by the number of other commuters competing for seats?
