Congrats FOD. It's tough seeing a company champion go. Good luck and thanks for everything.

Spotted an brand new A380 parked outside of the AWAC hanger in MKE this afternoon. Maybe you guys do have a big "announcement" coming.

Latest PIF about "PIC mentoring" about to happen in December. LCA's flying with CA's to tell them how to be better CA's.

Something something lead balloon.

That's disgusting... Are there enough lca's to cover the loss of FOs?

I would have never seen this happening.

Temporarily, yes. Eventually they will run out.

Our flying is also decreasing significantly over the next 2 months (based on the AA final/prelimary flying schedule) and probably beyond that.

Disgusting indeed. Such a shame to see Air Wisconsin's 50+ year legacy and history tarnished by management over the couple years. I guess that's business though.

Who determines what captain gets mentoring? I would love to see RZ get "mentoring", somebody will get a foot up their a$$. So does this mean your whole 4 day trip will be a jeopardy training event? Sad to see what's happening to AWAC.

I'd pay to sit in the jumpseat while rz or dl gets some mentoring. We do have some great Lcas but alot of them weren't even born yet when these guys were bouncing around in dehaviland doves

Well clearly, how else are they gonna retain captains. Gotta hand out a bunch of line check failures so they can never leave.
