Yeah, VIS won't be closing for a little bit longer....they said maybe 90 days. Another carrier has to agree to take over since Air Midwest is under contract to the DOT.
On a side note, our attrition has become so bad that today they announced they will actually be running a new hire class....even with all these closures they can't staff the planes. They say 10 ppl starting in about 2 weeks.

Way out of touch with this side of the business these days, but was wondering what domiciles Air Midwest will have left after these closures.

Any new news about the 1900's?
Will FMN no longer have air service or was I reading the other posts wrong? Does Lakes still go there? If they don't...it will be interesting to see what the MAPD does to have "current" CRJ pilots teach the CRJ stuff . Don't think to many would be willing to drive.

I know Gulfstream is opening a base in PIT and I'm pretty sure that Gulfstream is getting 15 of the Air Midwest planes.. I really dont know much more than that.. I have some friends at Gulfstream and thats what they have been saying..

I could be wrong but I would think that Gulfstream is getting already leased aircraft then. We won't have that many extra airplanes from what news there is now. They posted the CHS closure today flushing those pilots into the rest of the system. We are suppose to close HOB by the end of the month but I don't think that Pacific Wings will be ready to take over by then.
Also the CDC pilots have all been TDY'd now to VIS...I have no idea why the company did that since they are supposedly closing that domicile soon. Keep on guessing

Well your probably right that they are getting already leased aircraft.. But yeah I think at this point all anyone can do is guess.
