I keep telling myself something has got to give and this industry has to improve. Then the reality of me being delusional sets in when I read stuff posted on here.

Okay. That's based on 2-3 year Captains on a Turbo Prop. Of course they'll make more. But saves money to continue to have junior captains. Parker doesn't want people hanging out at the WOs for more then 10 years. Come fly and move on to AA.

I just threw my app in to Air Wisconsin..fingers crossed!

Are they still hiring and scheduling classes?? What are the chances of a new hire getting LGA or PHL?

Also, what are the travel benefits, similar to other airlines?

Thanks guys!!

I won't list all the benefits but its is one of the better if not the best contracts out there. As for travel benefits it is currently only on Airways...since we are a contract airline we don't know when we will get benefits on the new American beyond the ability to jumpseat.

E-mail from the company today announcing that the ground handling side of the business is being terminated completely. Can't say this is a surprise unfortunately.

Yeah, the carriers want cheap part time labor and a poor product with ground handling. Not big enough part of the pie for awac to have their hands in it.
