Did Air Wisconsin stop hiring FO's?
 

I recently applied with the company for the FO position, it is in "not reviewed" status and now the opening is gone from the job openings list. Any word on this?

I remember it was talked about in the last air wisconsin topic. Take a look there.

Opening is still listed...you have to scroll down. They are still hiring.

Probably a good thing that you can't find the job opening. The PDT vote will be the final nail in the coffin IMO.

I had a Wiskey FO in the jumpseat not long ago. He said they were hiring because they were going to get 700's from Eagle and Wiskey was the only regional that could staff them.... Maybe that's why they stopped hiring??

Not sure about that about. I heard that Parker has told Wiskey he wasn't going to pay for the new paint on the planes. I'm thinking Wiskey might be looking for a new code share partner or staying with American but using about half the planes.

And with the WO's reducing there cost I'm sure Wiskey people will be asked to take a pay cut also. Writing is on the wall.

Depends if PSA can staff the 30 CRJ-900's they're getting, plus the now 47 CRJ-700's. I think PSA has taken maybe a dozen or less -900's so far. Doesn't look good for AWAC, unless as you said they can find a new partner to fly for.

When you say wo's reducing their cost what you really mean to say is the wo pilots whoring themselves out and offering to work for less

PSA is on schedule with the 900's. 2 per month. 7 and 8 will be delivered this month. I did hear that same rumor about painting Wiskey planes though.

Whiskey has always been bidding on RFP's , they have never won any. Why? because they aren't cheap. Parker has openly sated that if he could burn the 200 contracts he would.
Whiskey people will not be taking a pay cut, they are already on a concessionary contract that is still better than most.

I agree... That plus the fact that Airwhiskey has been awful with on time and cx'ed flight. Piedmont is however just as bad.

Parker will give them a bottle line number and there's choices to be made.

Then they'll be fighting the same battle that envoy is.

I'm not bashing Awac but the writing is on the wall for them.Aag or United nor delta wants their aging 50 seat fleet.If I were in your shoes I would definitely look elsewhere. This time next year they will be doing a slow wind down and if they are still around it will only be a handful of planes flying very very short routes.If I worked at Awac I wouldn't try to ride this out. It's not going to get any better.

Had a friend get hired by AWAC not to long ago as an F/O. Says its not a bad deal and the people are good but there is absolutely no talk about the long term future of the company. Said he is going to stay with them as long as possible and build his time and try to move on to someplace else. I hope others at AWAC have a plan B just in case.

Yup, and then they go around spouting off every chance they get! It's really sad to see the complete and udder lack of any professionalism that the bottom feeders are attracting these days.
