Air Wisconsin

Yup. 294 salaried/management types (permanent layoff) and 219 union workers (temporary layoff) at both ATW and MKE. The list includes 7 Crew Schedulers, 4 Senior Crew Schedulers, 12 Dispatchers, 1 Dispatch Trainer, 7 Dispatch Coordinators, 4 SOC Duty Managers.

That would be all of every work group.

What a shame.
Is the -700 still on the property?

They have none, and likely aren't getting any. It was likely a ploy this entire time.

How many dispatchers will be left on staff?

Where did you find this? If you know this do you know a date?

The local news outlet did an article on it and included a link to the notification that AirWis sent to the State of Wisconsin for unemployment notification and it listed all the positions. The date I believe is March 29, the state requires a 60 day notice so this was posted on Jan 29th. I just found it by googling. Interestingly, one of the positions listed was CEO. Air Wisconsin plans a mix of temporary, permanent layoffs affecting over 500 people

I'm curious why Air Wisconsin wouldn't do something like buy Mesa out of debt if only just for the United flying...or...to have the differentiated aircraft types and already trained crews for a better contract with US or AS.

The EAS bids aren't going so well for Air Wisconsin.

I've heard there could be a mesa, air whiskey merger. Hard COULD though.
