Freefall,

Could you provide some details regarding the interview?

Thanks a lot

Hey congrats on getting the job freefall! I interviewed last wed. in ATW and got the sept. 3rd class date as well. Looks like we'll be drinking water from a firehose together for the next few weeks. My old instructor has worked with AWAC for about a year and a half now, and he sent me a 3 page email with information about what to bring/expect, ect... I don't think I can get messages on this site, but if you're interested you can email me at [email protected], and I'd be happy to forward it to you.

 

It was basic, HR stuff, what kind of leader are you? What would employer say about you, ect. Tech, know your equipment, and Capt blows is about to blow through the ILS, what would you do? Be yourself and make sure they know how bad you want it. Good luck

Wags: e-mail sent

 

sent my stuff in about a week ago...how long should i expect to get a call back from them. Is there any other way i should send my stuff

 

how hard is it to get a philly base as a newhire?

 

i would think it is a junior base and pretty much thats what you'll get...but hey i dont work for them so who knows

 

Not at all...you *might* get ORF initially but should be able to hold PHL by the end of training, or maybe a month afterward.

I do think most newbies are going to PHL lately, though.

 

I live in ORF and might like to stay if I could get on with AWAC. What is the ORF base like, trip wise...? good, bad, ugly? Big, small... growing, shrinking? Junior, senior, both seats?

 

ORF is not a bad base. It is a maintainance base and supposedly that means cruddy trips. But I didn't notice that they were really cruddier than anywhere else.

However, I was a senior F/O and got what I wanted. I think for junior people it was a bit different. But it will be anywhere. We don't have tons of great trips as far as commutability goes at any of the bases.

If you are from ORF it is a no-brainer in my eyes. Try to go to AWAC and try to get ORF. Living at home in this business is priceless and frankly worth a lot of grief in other areas. In terms of 'regional' airlines, AWAC is no worse than many others and in some ways is better. They all have their ups and downs. But if you can find a decent one (And AWAC is certainly that) and can live at home in domicile that should be your top choice.

Just my opinion.

 

just got a call from air wisconsin for an interview. going to DC on the 18th anybody else going to be there.
