I have been out of the 121 world for a couple years now. I am attempting to get back in and have an interview with air Wisconsin next week. I've looked on aviation interviews and couldn't find much. Can anyone give some insight about the interview process? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

I asked someone I know who does recruiting. You'll take a written test for general knowledge. All from the ATP written. Know Approach plates, how to read them and symbols. If you're not familiar with Jepps, they have the others. But I'd read up on them.
Then it's just an interview to see who you are and if you're someone they would like to be able to fly with for 4 days. Come in with a positive and upbeat attitude. Show them you want to be here and you'll do just fine.

Now that we announced United Flying, what's next? Haven't heard a thing since the big announcement.
When do we start the AA draw down?

I think we will get the AA final flying numbers for May around March 22nd, so we will see if this dip in flying is truly temporary. With the amount of flying we have now, there actually is very little FO open time, and many of our aircraft are just sitting/parked in RFD.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't increase our flying. Trans State is now flying into D.C. in droves, coupled with PSA increasing operation and Piedmont in PHL American is doing its best to try and prove it can operate without us. Though I expect us to have an uptick for summer flying, we're going to continue to get the worse departure times and destinations.

I keep hearing that United flying should begin in July so if you're senior enough you could make the jump over where I assume operations will be much better.

I had two gate agents in PHL tell me that AA wasn't happy at our announcement and plans to hold Air Wisconsin to the fullest of the agreement. But with the flying cut in half from this time last year, I can't see how they can make us fly 65 planes up to February of 2018 and then say "Take a walk".
I guess by now, some sort of exit strategy must be getting put in place.
Wondering what our next dominoes will actually become? I guessing IAD and ORD. For those in ORF, I hope they can figure a way to keep ORF. But they'll have to find new crew facilities as the one in ORF is in AA operations area

Did you really just quote F terminal gate agents in Philly as a source of high level information?

Aint gonna happen. I used to work construction and every time a crew moves on to a new job, they don't know you anymore.
AWAC will surrender their last payments or cut a AA a check, but when it comes down to serving 2 masters the one 5 years in your future will always get priority.
