Is Air Wisconsin still hiring FOs?
Will the school house stops churning first to signal the nail on the coffin???
Is there a training contract in place, or being enforced?
If i was new, and wanted to try out 121 world, I think going to Air Whisky getting free ATP, type training would be a great idea.....
If I was a young gambling man wanting paid training & free type (great opportunity) for free stuff, I'd learn to ride a dying or old horse.
I do wish the pilot group well & hope any Hail Mary pass being thrown for a winning touch-down is some how miraculously made. Might not be a pretty landing, but hopefully there is a job in hand & both feet in the end zone.

With our attrition and shrinking, it's hard to tell. DCA is shrinking over 60% from February to March and the trend will probably continue. I wouldn't count on holding DCA. PHL should be relatively easy to hold out of training, but ORF is the most junior. There are very few vacancy/realignment notices, so you would be stuck in whatever base you have initially for at least a few months.

On a positive note: If you like one-on-one training, it'll probably just be you and one other person in class

Are you military looking for 121 time to move on? After reading even one page on this thread you are still considering going to AWAC? Quite the gamble.

If you can look past not having a flying partner past next year, first officer junior man's and extensions guaranteed every week, low morale, old and tired airplanes, less than desirable overnight hotels, and management that just doesn't care about keeping its employees and their families informed about the future of the company among other things...
Then it's not a bad place to be.
I really wish I had better things to say about ZW, but we are not the ones responsible for the state we are in right now.

Low morale, constant contract violations, rude schedulers, old/dirty planes.
Management has done a stand up job here. Preaching to new pilots, 'We're the small town Wisconsin airline that cares about it's employees' Hardly. The amount of fear everyone has for their careers and their families is absurd. They've done irreversible damage to employee-management relations. I'm sure they expect whatever grand announcement we've been patient for to immediately turn things around, but the trust is gone, long gone.
This is no longer the great company it once was. Best to just stay away until they make it clear what's happening, which for right now is a shut down.
