Good to know.....not necessarily a good thing that there are a bunch of guys jumping ship, but maybe it will give the people who want in a legitimate chance. Have to see how it all plays out.

Update: Skyway is hiring for another class next month. Despite previous rumors, nothing comfirmed about the RFP at midwest as of the ALPA elections last week in Vegas. The only people who really know are the CEOs and BODs of the airlines involved. In fact, they probably CAN'T let anything out because of confidentiallity agreements. In short, everything you know is wrong. Except skyway IS hiring.

Are they hiring for the Beech? It seems like some of the people recently hired having been getting the 1900 but I thought they are losing those planes.

How many Beechs does Skyway Operate and are they all on EAS? Are they out station based or hubbed at MKE?

Skyway currently has 8 Beeches. Last I heard there were 2 down for AD compliance and I'm not sure if they are back yet or not. It was going to take a couple months to repair the problems. As for the bases, all Skyway is currently based in Milwaukee. They don't have any a/c or crew out stationed. Not all they do is EAS either. Alot is, but not all. They still send Beeches to STL...talk about a long flight with no bathroom for little kids. I've got some interesting stories.

I've been told that interviewing has concluded for the November 20th class. No word on when the next class date may be.

Air Wisconsin has signed an agreement to operate 80% of Air Midwest's regional flying with RJ 200's, set to beging in early '07. Skyway will probably shrink to a 328 operation, and eventually disappear! It's just the way it is.

What is your source?

And FWIW, Air Midwest is MESA...

Where would AWAC get the rj's from? Would they pull them off of their current fleet? Just wondering, thanks.
