Default Air Wisconsin Question

Hi Guys,

I showed up for an Air Wisconsin flight Friday night from CLE to PHL. I got to the gate at 8:24 for an 8:40 scheduled departure and they had already pushed. How early can you guys go? I was connecting from another flight or of course I would have arrived earlier.

Thanks!

As long as dispatch gives the ok, as early as we'd like. I've left 30+ minutes early from Canadian destinations when everyone that's checked in is on board.

Nope, just jumpseating. I'm not meaning to complain, its just that I will be relying on that flight a lot now since UAL is de-hubbing CLE and I was curious how early they could leave.

Thanks for the replys.

Yeah, this is a crappy thing sometimes with jumpseaters.. US Air is always a "walkup and list scenario".. We can push whenever if we have everyone.. Hopefully with the merger we can adopt the "list online earlier" process so we can know if we have jumpseaters in advance..

I'm sorry we left you behind, man

Thanks BT. I knew making the flight was a long shot as I was actually only scheduled in 4 minutes before departure but a short taxi in DEN and some tailwinds got us in early. Fortunately the Comfort Inn in CLE is $37/night for airline crew if anyone finds themselves stuck there. That includes the van ride back and forth, breakfast, and the USA Today so basically everything a pilot needs!

Great sticker, were you TSA? I was there 9 years.

No, but I respect the hell out of current/former TSA bros and always support y'all.. We have many former TSA at Air wisconsin.
