Air Wisconsin Airlines - CRJ First Officers 850 TT

Vast majority of trips aren't commutable, if you live on the west coast work for a company on the west coast. Zero reason to go there.
 
I don't understand this because most regionals I know will interview you early and give you a job offer upon completing your hours. Plenty of my colleagues already have interviews out of the way 400+ hours shy of minimums at various different regionals...
 
I've been working with them on some stuff. A good group of stand up guys, they're looking for pilots, chat with them.

By "stuff" do you mean getting additional points added to our Delta app that pushes us over that magical unicorn number that of which we do not speak?

If you need anything from the ARW ALPA guys, let me know.
 
How much are these regional first officers making in the first year these days? 24K a year?

$37-40/hour now...usually low $30 to mid $30k.

Some regionals are still floating around the low-mid $20k...this company is paying $28/hour so $25k
 
Anyone have any idea what Air Wisconsin's long-term future is looking like and if they will be renewing their contract with American? I keep hearing it expires next year.
 
Union just launched a campaign called "2018: Sunrise or Sunset?" to hopefully put pressure on the company to tell us something (anything, really) about future plans.

The current contract with AA runs through Feb 2018. After that is anyone's guess.

The company claims to be talking with other airlines about flying for them. There have been rumors of Delta coming back to AWAC to try to reach a deal for more flying. Take that with a grain of salt, rumors at AWAC are 99.9% BS.

Overall, it is a good place to work -- for now. If we keep losing people and can't hire enough to replace them, it could get pretty rough.

Another company's pilot group should probably start a similar campaign.
