So, being that they own their planes and that there are pilots to fly them its hard to say that they will disappear come 2018 when their contract is up? Right?

I mean, now that pilots have become more valuable that taken together with airplanes = some business beyond 2018 I would think. Why would any airline just let that value go?

Woah something just hit me , most people sign two year contracts with their cell phone carriers ? Does that mean Verizon will lose all of their customers in two years ?

408, 411-420 (10), 422-435 (14) for a total of 25, titled to US Bank NA.

421 titled to Bank of America.

Useless trivia: the first three airplanes painted in US Airways colors - the blue tops (406, 407 and 410) because Airways didn't want us to have a plane in new colors before mainline did - were at the time owned by United Airlines.

Ooooooo! UAL planes flying for US? I thought that was supposed to cause a Total Atomic Reversal? Egon was wrong; we can cross the streams.

Apparently, UAL didn't care as long as the monthly payments came in.

Would it be possible to chat with a current Air Wisconsin pilot? Please PM me if you have time for some questions.

Thanks

Not sure if this will have any bearing on ZW long term but they apparently are farming all of their ground handling out sometime this summer
