They were. They're just taking their frustrations out.

Is there a difference between street hires and lateral transfers?

Skype for lateral transfers is one thing. Skype for a flight instructor that has never been in 121 is another.

Not that I am aware of. They seem to be pretty big about actually meeting people and determining a personality/cultural fit. However, at the rate this place continues to implode - anything is possible.

I start my last trip at Awac tomorrow morning. While I am relieved and excited to be moving onto an LCC, its such BS what is going on here. Interstingly enough I saw CS on my commute in. He was actually going to work a trip. We chit chatted and the level of frustration he showed was something. I do not envy our MEC at the moment.

I hope things work out here, but it is extremely hard to imagine that happening. I get this place has "been around", but just like the stock markt, past results do not necessarily predict future gains. For the majority of businesses, most do come to an end at some point.

Haha. Funny, right?
I can't get out of this place quick enough. Just praying I get an to LCC or Atlas before we close and I'm forced to go fly for another regional.

I honestly want to know how the hell they are getting even a single person to show up. What Kool-Aid is being served up?

A friend of mine has an fa interview this week. The letter said they only have room for the first 75 applicants, which must be some kind of typo. Either way, we appear to be hiring pilots and fa's still.

I have received two recruiting calls from Air Wisconsin in the past two years. I have never applied there, but was offered a class date on both occasions after I answered a couple of questions.

The first time, I was in the new hire class at another airline (in systems training), and the other I was finished with IOE and a line pilot.

But, I had a couple of type ratings at the time of the first call, and a good record in aviation. I do not fault them for offering me a job over the phone. I was flattered. Had I been looking for a job, I would have seriously considered it. The reason that I did not jump ship is the fleet of 50 seat airplanes made me nervous for the future.

It's called perceived scarcity.
