Hi guys.
I'm looking heavily into applying for Air Wis and just had a question...
How much simulated / actual muti engine time is involved with the endorsement and check to line? I'm just short on Multi hours and will probably have to buy a few to apply, but I'm just wondering if they would entertain an application with anything less than 50, as 25 can be in a simulator.

When I was ORF based there was literally zero there. A few here and there of crashing on another awac guys couch but that's about it. Hotels aren't very cheap either especially in peak tourist season (April-September). Very few people commute to Norfolk since the trips were very non commutable even for senior guys. Most guys/gals lived in Virginia Beach; as did I or the surrounding area. Not a bad area to live, Miltary town, just stick closer to the water front, not exactly a Palm Beach crowd that goes there for vacation either...

We're getting several 121 guys as stated and I also heard a spirit guy. Also talking with recruiters and others in the hiring/training department have said the quality of applicants has dramatically increased. This leads me to believe we won't see the high wash out rates.
My friend went to Pdt and out of 28 guys in his class 15 of them are gone including him,washed out or just quit.
Guys with prior121 time multiple type ratings etc.He said the training there is horrible. They dont train you,they just evaluate you he said.

Air Wis has always been a stellar company. Its to bad they keep having to reinvent what they do evey 5 years, And don't have new airplanes.. it comes down to in 4-5 year will that cross country commuting do you in, or is it worth it for the extra cash first few years..

That was the Dash Training. The Jet program is great. Last class everyone passed except one guy who's stick and rudder wasn't up to par. It's night and day from a few years ago.

Norfolk is not a market that is a good fit for 50-seat aircraft over the long term within our UAX network.

I have an interview with Air Wisconsin coming up. If somebody can provide me some information I would greatly appreciate.
What does the schedule look like for junior FOs after the period in reserve is over? For example 5 day trips followed by 3 days off or is there a possibility to have six or seven days off in a row followed by longer trips?
I live in Albuquerque NM. Is it realistic to commute from ABQ to the AW hubs?
How long is the training and IOE?
Where does the training take place?
Thanks so much
