AWAC Hiring Plans/New Minimums
I'm currently in training with Air Wisconsin and wanted to update everyone with regard to their hiring plans and new minimums. The Director of Training came to our class today and told us that they have extended their hiring plans for pilots. The original plan was to hire through July. That's been extended now to November. So that is good. However, as of today they have raised the minimums from 800/100 to 1000/100. In addition, the minimums will be going up again on July 1st to 1200/100. The new minimums are already reflected on the job posting for CRJ First Officer on the website. Best of luck to all current and future applicants.

Nope, it still says 800/100.
|
Never mind, there are two section with different minimums. I just saw the one where it says 1000/100, my bad :(!

One would assume because it's that much closer to August 2013 and the "ATP rule"

It was signed into law in August of 2010.... I dont know the exact law, but it is officially "on the books"....

Last checkairmen that sat Jumpseat on our flight said most likely the four year part 141 grads will get an exception of being ATPed at 800 hours instead of 1500. :D

Do you need to be a graduate of the university or just their flight program? I went to ERAU after getting out of the Navy, got my ratings thru Comm-multi then left to start a job and will finish the degree online thru their online courses. That always confused me.

I wonder how much the riddle guys paid to lobbyist? |

Probably about enough to make the tuition down there go up about $20,000 per student |
A vacancy was announced today which will result in 5 captain upgrades. Among a bunch of people moving around there are 5 new captains. So that's good news.

I realize this is probably not the correct forum for my question, but this thread is kinda focused on 5900 so was wondering if you guys knew the answers...
First, the way I read it, it states you will need an ATP for hiring into the regionals when the time comes, hence the 1500 hour number being thrown around. Does anyone know if the time reducing requirements still stand, aka flight engineer time counting for 500 of those hours? I'm "planning" on having the 1500 by the time the rule hits, but one never knows. I'm currently sitting at about 600 / 100 ME and was hoping to get the ATP pretty close to 1000 if this exception still applies (have 6000 hours FE time, 2000 of it part 121) Second; Have I read it correctly that you just need an ATP, or do you need ATP AND 1500 hours. Thanks for the clarifications, just trying to be marketable asap! |

(b) Minimum Requirements- To be qualified to receive an airline transport pilot certificate pursuant to subsection (a), an individual shall-- (1) have sufficient flight hours, as determined by the Administrator, to enable a pilot to function effectively in an air carrier operational environment; and (2) have received flight training, academic training, or operational experience that will prepare a pilot, at a minimum, to-- (A) function effectively in a multipilot environment; (B) function effectively in adverse weather conditions, including icing conditions; (C) function effectively during high altitude operations; (D) adhere to the highest professional standards; and (E) function effectively in an air carrier operational environment. (c) Flight Hours- (1) NUMBERS OF FLIGHT HOURS- The total flight hours required by the Administrator under subsection (b)(1) shall be at least 1,500 flight hours. (2) FLIGHT HOURS IN DIFFICULT OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS- The total flight hours required by the Administrator under subsection (b)(1) shall include sufficient flight hours, as determined by the Administrator, in difficult operational conditions that may be encountered by an air carrier to enable a pilot to operate safely in such conditions. (d) Credit Toward Flight Hours- The Administrator may allow specific academic training courses, beyond those required under subsection (b)(2), to be credited toward the total flight hours required under subsection (c). The Administrator may allow such credit based on a determination by the Administrator that allowing a pilot to take specific academic training courses will enhance safety more than requiring the pilot to fully comply with the flight hours requirement. |
Also RDU is going to be closing, possibly CLT and/or CAE opening, I heard from a friend

I was happy because they paid me my finders fee. He is now a Captain here. So your scenario doesn't always play out the way you say. If anything, it shows initiative. Especially that someone is that eager to come work for $20,000 a year :) |

Not true. That's how my friend got his application looked at 7 years ago. Their online application and review process leaves a lot of guys in the dark. I wrote him a refferal, he picked up the phone, called, the lady pulled up his application, and he was offered an interview 4 days later and in class 14 days after the interview. So 18 days after he called he was sitting in class.

There are worse companies to work for than AWAC. Better ones too but it's not a horrible place if you come to work with your eyes wide open. |

Hmm 3 years ago I got hired by doing absolutely nothing...
Put app in and they called a month later?.. |
Does Air Wisconsin have any relationship with United anymore? It says on their website that US Airways and United are their partners. I thought they were only US Airways Express.
