Default Air Wisconsin Internal Rec.

Hi everyone

As the title implies I am looking for an internal rec to supplement my application for Air Wisconsin.

A little background about me. I was hired by American Eagle in November of 2007 where I worked for approximately 10 months. I left because I essentially became the responsible party for a family members health care and decisions who was a the end of a battle with cancer. Unfortunately, I was not able to qualify for FMLA and was unable to obtain a leave of absence. When I was finally able to return to work, in the beginning of 2009, the economic conditions prevented hiring, as we all know. Now that things have turned around I am impatiently trying hard to get back into part 121. My main hope is there would potentially be someone on this board (perhaps a former Eagle pilot who lateraled over) willing to go to bat for me to try and help me gain an interview with Air Wisconsin.

I spent the better part of the day debating about posting this on here and asking for someone to recommend me. Ultimately I determined the worst that could happen is no one would be willing. I fully understand the sensetive nature of putting your name to someone you do not know. If the situation were reversed, and it has been, I would be hesitant as well.


Thanks again everyone, and as you can tell this is my first post. Ive frequented this site for several years, but finally decided to create a username.

Internal recommendations are usually given by pilots who know you or have flown with you as a pilot. You don't need an internal to interview at AWAC.

With as little hiring that is going on, pretty much the only way to get looked at is with an internal recommendation. And as far as I know the handful of guys that were just hired at AWAC all had internal recs. Where are you getting your information?

I interviewed with AWAC yesterday without an internal recommendation.
