Letter To the Publisher

Photo used with permission from Pixabay.com Dear Craig, I happened to come across your magazine and I was wondering how would I go about starting a career in aviation? I have always been passionate about flying and I never imagined it being possible to actually become an airline pilot. Regards, Jen P.. Dear Jen, The process to become a career pilot is a long and hard road, but if you are truly dedicated and willing to put in the time and effort it can be obtained! Having the passion is the first step to starting this wonderful career. Right now is an amazing time to get involved in the aviation industry because pilots are in high demand. It would be impossible and unjust to explain the variety and complexity of options to achieving this goal in this short letter, but I will say this; find a mentor to help guide you through the process. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anyone who is a pilot, I would recommend getting one through Professional Pilots of Tomorrow. PPOT is a group of volunteer pilots dedicated to helping pilots achieve their goals. You can visit their site at theppot.org and connect with a mentor.

During flight they were able to mingle with pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, and other United Airlines employees. Once in Carbondale, the students enjoyed a tour of the SIU campus, attended various workshops, had a Q&A session with United employees, and a simulator ride. This event has proven to be a great educational tool as well as an opportunity to give back to the community.

Ruling clears the airline to emerge from Chapter 11 by month’s end

Image provided by Republic Airways

epublic Airways Holdings Inc., the parent of Republic Airline, one of the largest independent regional airlines in the United States, announced today that the Honorable Judge Sean Lane of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has approved Republic’s Plan of Reorganization and has entered an order to that effect. Today’s decision sets in motion a process by which the Company expects to emerge from Chapter 11 as a private company before the end of April.

11 laser-focused on reclaiming our leadership position in the regional airline industry by delivering outstanding operational reliability to our major airline partners, excellent customer service to our guests on board our aircraft, and maximizing future value for all our stakeholders.”

“I want to thank our Associates for never wavering in their commitment to our vision and mission throughout this challenging process,” said Bryan Bedford, Republic’s president and chief executive officer. “With the work of restructuring complete, we’re ready to come out of Chapter

Horizon Air and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters reach tentative agreement for pilots

orizon Air and the International Brotherhood of

Teamsters (IBT) announced today that they have reached a tentative agreement to amend their

existing eight-year contract for the carrier’s 620 pilots. The

proposed agreement gives Horizon Air the ability to attract

and retain the best pilots in the regional industry through enhanced salary and bonus provisions.

“I commend the negotiations team for their efforts to

reach a deal that allows us to increase our pilot recruitment

efforts and offer generous entry level wages for new first officers,” said Brad Lambert, Horizon Air’s vice president

of flight operations. “This deal will allow us to successfully compete for talent and grow our airline.”

Horizon Air and IBT ratified their existing contract

in January 2016. Once voted on and ratified by Horizon

pilots, the Letter of Agreement will run with the current contract and becomes amendable in December 2024.

This year Horizon Air is adding 13 E175 regional jets

to its existing fleet of Q400s, which provide an improved regional experience for guests. Learn more about Horizon Air’s 30-jet order at newsroom.alaskaair.com.

Under the Railway Labor Act, which governs collective

bargaining agreements in the airline industry, contracts do not expire. Instead they become amendable.

Horizon Air is a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group and

flies to 44 cities across the United States and Canada.

Aviator Bulletins Envoy Expanding Pilot Training Staff To Meet Demand

ilot hiring continues to takeoff at Envoy, so, to meet the climbing demand, the Flight Training Department will add Professional Simulator Instructors to help expedite training the hundreds of pilots filling up Envoy classrooms. “We’ll still rely on our existing Flight Training team and Check Airmen to maintain the highest level of safety and proficiency,” said Captain Allen Hill, Managing Director Air Operations Training. “But by augmenting our existing staff with additional experienced pilots, we’ll be able to enhance and expand our training program without having to remove active line pilots from their schedules to help train new hires. This allows Envoy to perform more flying on behalf of American and its customers.” Envoy is fast becoming the regional airline of choice for pilots wanting a long-term career in commercial aviation. With this additional training capacity, new hires will be flying as Envoy First Officers even more quickly.

Beyond hiring more and more First Officers to Envoy, pilots within the company have been upgrading at a faster clip than previous years. This also means that more Envoy Captains are flowing to American in even bigger numbers – more than 300 pilots in 2017 to be exact. “Boosting our hiring numbers, upgrading Captains faster and sending American our outstanding pilots in a shorter amount of time is not only good for Envoy, but good for the aviation industry as a whole,” said new Director of Pilot Recruiting Natalie Nielsen. “Bringing professional trainers to the Envoy team will greatly benefit the pilothiring cycle, and continue to help us grow as American’s largest regional carrier.” If you would like to learn more and apply to become an Envoy Professional Simulator Instructor, follow this link.

Ten Ways to Hack Your Fitness **opinion-only, not medical advice**

nothing wrong with optimizing or streamlining your training in order to maximize exercise value. Training smarter, and not just harder, should always be a welcome strategy. Of course there really are no shortcuts or miracles, but there are some hacks. Some so simple they should be common sense, while others, hopefully, are new ideas to you. In no particular order: 1. Train using full-body, functional movements. Skip the isolation exercises unless you’re rehabbing an injury or bringing up a weak body part. Isolation exercises should be left to bodybuilders, Physique athletes, and fitness models who are paid to look perfect and symmetrical. While you, no doubt, want to look good, your primary goals should be mobility, health, longevity and perhaps athletic performance. Full-body, functional exercises that synergistically involve multiple muscle groups accomplish all these goals in the shortest amount of time; exercises like burpees, pull-ups, push-ups, squats, lunges, planks and box-jumps. It’s amazing what a nice physique these movements will produce inherently.

e used to call them fitness tips but now the latest trend is to call them fitness hacks, and I desire to be a trend follower. I suppose there is something more to a hack: If something is going to be a labeled a hack then it had better be some sort of game-changing, time-saving short cut. So significant in fact that it should almost feel like you’re cheating. Well, I can’t promise you anything quite that mindblowing here, but I have compiled a pretty worthy list of my favorite fitness hacks, which will definitely save you time and get you results, especially when you’re on the road traveling so much. While those who know me, know I am an advocate of making fitness part of a holistic lifestyle, and that I am not into trendy, fad diets or one-size-fits-all approaches, there is

2. Train at high intensity most of the time. High intensity training maximizes your exercise value, giving you the most bang for your buck, in the least amount of time. It also triggers a lot of post-exercise, metabolismboosting, pro-hormone affects, lasting hours afterwards. You can increase your intensity level by: reducing your rest duration between sets, using circuittraining principles where you alternate antagonistic muscle groups, increase load, increase reps, or any combination of the aforementioned. If you desire to reach failure levels, then you must follow with a brief resting interval, usually performed using a 1:3 workingto-resting interval ratio, also known as high intensity interval training, (HIIT). 3. Adopt an adaptable and flexible training mindset. This open-minded mentality needs to reach across all aspects of your training, because that is what uberbusy, successful people do – they always have a backup plan and can call the workout audible at a moment’s notice. Had a morning Yoga session planned but now the surf is going off? Go surfing. Had a morning workout planned but now the wife says you have to take the kids to school or the boss calls a meeting? Shift training to

lunch or the after work. Had chest-day planned and all the bench-presses are taken? Do dumbbell presses or push-ups. Gym is closed? Train outdoors with just your bodyweight. All this means you always should have a set of workout clothes with you. Keep them in your car or your office. Opportunities abound to fit in random, bonus workouts, especially if you’re a runner. The unexpected benefit of this type of training mentality, is that you never get stuck in a plateauinducing, complacent, routine rut. Some call this the training principle, muscle confusion. 4. Build accountability into your fitness. Covered before, this topic is absolutely critical to every successful training or weightloss plan. There are many ways to create workout accountability into your life. The number one way is to hire a trainer. Once you’re forking out money every month, you’re not going to waste it, and that is what trainer’s do best — hold you accountable! Think about it. How much work would you get done if you didn’t have a boss holding you accountable? Other more simple ways are to buy a home-scale and weigh yourself weekly if not daily to at least track trends before they get out of hand. A more fun way is to join a sport’s competition team or meet-up where you have teammates counting on you to show up. Another way is to shamelessly declare you fitness goal on your social media feeds so all 5000 of your trolling “friends” will be sure to offer their encouragement. Enter a race perhaps? At the very least, schedule your workout into your digital calendar the night before via your smart phone! 5. Use supplements. I am well aware, thanks to all my Encinitas’ hipster friends, that nothing beats eating organic, locally-sourced, sustainable, non-GMO, unprocessed whole-foods, but for those rare occasions when we don’t have access to them or time to prepare them, supplements can conveniently fill in the gap. I know the supplement industry can be shady, is unregulated, and costly, but it is worthwhile to have some trusted brands of protein or MRP powders and bars always on hand. Ready-to-eat with no refrigeration required, or they shake-up in seconds, either instantly provide the fuel you need to train, or the nutrients you need to recover. What’s more, the top-shelf brands are so good, many of them are more nutrient-dense than their whole-food counter-part. Plus, with a trusted bar always on hand, you’re less likely to make a bad snack choice when food options are limited.

If fatburning or weight-loss is your primary fitness goal, then know that the most ideal, naturally occurring window of opportunity to maximize your chances is when you first wake up after fasting all night (because you were sleeping). At this critical moment upon waking, you are burning mostly stored fat for fuel, your stomach is empty and your blood-sugar is stabilized. The stage is now set to access and burn even more stored fat by training aerobic-cardio while in this fasting state. To mobilize and access yet even more stored fat, you can consume a serving of caffeine via black coffee, tea or a pre-workout supplement. (Caffeine unlocks and mobilizes fat-stores). Note: If you are concerned about catabolizing muscle tissue for energy, then you can also consume either one scoop, (20 grams) of whey protein powder mixed with water, or eat a teaspoon of coconut or MCT (medium chained triglyceride) oil along with your black coffee or tea. The MCT fat found in coconut burns like a carbohydrate but without triggering insulin or disturbing blood-sugar balance. To be clear, if your primary training goal is athletic performance or building

May 2017 | 17

Fitness Corner

muscle, then training before consuming a balanced breakfast may not be ideal, as your energy levels will not be topped off. 7. Get smart with your Smart-Phone. Gadgets can be good. Pilots love gadgets & data. So download a workout app on your smart-phone or wear a fitness bracelet for immediate physiological feedback. Immediate performance and completion data feedback — such as, how many calories you’re burning, your heart rate, distance traveled or elevation gained — is very rewarding and empowering. It can serve as a catalyst to propel you to the next level or workout, track trends and progress, and serve as another accountability tool. Fitness bracelets and their associated downloadable smart-phone apps do all this and more. Plus, they can suggest workouts and provided detailed exercise guidance via photos and videos. It’s like having your own virtual trainer everywhere you go and automatic updating workout log, only for hardly any cost! I should know, I helped create one. 8. Multi-Task. Let your A.D.D. diagnosis work for you. Need to make some phone calls? Put on your bluetooth headset and talk while you walk. Have to take your kids to their practice? Train with them, or train while they train. That’s what I do. Wife or girlfriend has you pinned down for a lunch date? Take a rain-check on lunch and make it a fitness date instead: Go for a run, hike or bike ride together. Listen, Cosmo says if you agree to do a Yoga class with your chick, you will be her hero for the week. Need to listen to some podcasts or audio books for work research? Again, put on your blue-tooth headset and listen while you workout. 9. Make it FUN. This is perhaps the biggest hack of all. If you can find a way to make your workout the highlight of your day – literally boosting dopamine, your “drugof-choice” — you will discover that you miraculously possess endless energy to give to exercise. You won’t want to quit. The best way to do this to find a sport or activity you love and then do it at all costs. My wife and I are only half way joking when I say she thinks she’s a pro beach volleyball player and I think I’m a pro surfer…at age 45! The fitness magic happens only once it becomes addicting — literally. Veteran, world class athletes call this feeling – this state of mind, flow. Granted its hard to play your favorite sport on a layover, but eventually you can learn how to slip into flow-state even during the most bland treadmill workouts. 10. Use positive self-talk and affirmations daily, or go get hypnotized. Instruct yourself daily (without judgement) that you are “fit and strong”, or that you are “a powerful,

18 | Aero Crew News

fit warrior”, or something to this effect. Repeat this aloud to yourself several times daily. If you have the motive and the means, visit a sports psychologist to experience the sincere power of suggestion (hypnosis), and learn about self-fulfilling prophecy, to instill within you that you are becoming the confident, fit, athlete you desire to be. ou think I’m kidding. I couldn’t be more serious. You also have to hack into your mind. Ask yourself this: If you don’t believe in yourself, then who will? Get radical with your fitness and realize your full potential. The time is now. Eventually with practice you can learn to experience mindfulness, positive affirmations, and meditation anywhere.

East Coast Seafood Saltine, Norfolk, VA

Upon walking in, we noticed the dining room section was closed, but since I prefer sitting at the bar, this was not an issue. We found a couple of seats at the bar and we were almost immediately greeted by the friendly bartender with sets of menus. I asked him what drink specials they had this evening and he began to list of all the beers on special, then the cocktails; when he said five-dollar Old Fashioned, I stopped him with a quick, “Yes!” Dave chimed in and said, “You know I’ve never had one of those, I will try one too and let’s get an order of your fifty-cent oysters.” The Old Fashioned arrived first, while I’m in training to be a whiskey/scotch connoisseur, Old Fashioned mixology is not my forte, yet. I do know the base has a lot to do with the overall flavor of the drink. Within about ten minutes we had a platter of a dozen fresh oysters on the half Fresh Oysters, Photo Taken by Craig Pieper

s always, I’m on the hunt for new and great places to eat while I am traveling. This past month I ended up with a long Norfolk overnight, which put our hotel downtown by the water. If you have never been to Norfolk, I would highly recommend going! Around four in the afternoon, my First Officer, Dave, and I set out to find a good place to eat. While Yelp directed us in the right direction, the place where we ended up stopping was not even on Yelp, it was just that new. As we were walking, we passed a place with several wide-open garage doors with a view right to the bar. This was the first thing that caught my eye. While the front door was not as obvious as one would expect, the entrance was easily found. I realized later that this was actually part of a hotel and the main entrance was from the hotel lobby, something I would have generally avoided, but I’m glad I did not. Outside Saltine, the sign on their door bragged of happy hour drinks and half-off appetizers. Since it was happy hour this solidified our decision to enter and give it a try!

shell with three toppings to accompany them. These included horseradish, cocktail sauce and a mignonette sauce, all made fresh in-house. The oysters tasted as if they had been pulled from the bay within hours and they were no small or skinny oysters either. About half way through devouring this dozen, I insisted we order another dozen along with an order of deviled eggs. The deviled egg appetizer came with three eggs, each with a different toping. One had smoked fresh Virginia trout; the second had fresh Chesapeake crab while the last was sprinkled with Old Bay. Just as we finished the eggs, our next dozen showed up and we devoured them. Because the appetizers were half-off, we continued to scour the menu for others to try. Dave ordered the Carolina Shrimp a la Plancha while I ordered the Catch 31 Jumbo Lump Crab Cake. While I can’t speak for the shrimp dish, the crab cake was incredibly fresh and had some great flavors. As we were leaving, the manager mentioned that they had a brand new roof top bar on the fifth floor called Grain. He highly recommended that we stop by and take a look. We left our bar stools, stuffed as usual, ventured to the fifth floor and found an amazing “rooftop beer garden” dining opportunity that I will be sure to try next time I am in downtown Norfolk.

Non-Routine Operations Reporting Correcting operational issues that might not be known otherwise.

ontinuing with the theme of reactive policy changes in aviation, and leading up to how they will relate to the future of SMS operations, it is important to talk about the system that most air carriers use to report and correct operational issues that might not otherwise be reported or detected using other means. This system will have a name that varies by company, but will resemble something like “Irregular Operations Report” or “Hazard Report.” Essentially, a non-routine operations report is a system by which employees and crew members can report hazards to the operation that don’t warrant inclusion in ASAP, ASRS or FOQA. It may also provide ways to include constituents who don’t work the for the company reporting the hazard, such as a ramp operations or a fuel contractor, where there is no direct way to address the issue internally. As an example of this, assume that a crew is taxiing to park at the gate and someone is driving a fuel truck outside of the road and at a higher than normal speed and it causes a hazard to the aircraft pulling into the gate. This doesn’t necessarily fall under the operator inclusion for ASAP (though it certainly could in some cases), but is a hazard that needs to be identified and addressed.

In this case, it might be beneficial to file an irregular operations report, identifying the hazard to the company, and then allowing the behind-the-scenes system to deal with the issue. This will typically be done through the company’s Web portal and will then typically go on-file with an operations department. The operations department will then review and classify the report, and forward it to the appropriate channels within the company for further action. In cases where it is an internal company issue, it may be reviewed by a department head, a committee, or a panel of leadership designed to acknowledge and address these specific issues with policy changes, system improvements, additional training, or other company changes. In our example of the fuel truck, the report may be looked at by operations management, and then forwarded to the person responsible for managing the station so that they can coordinate with the fuel company to either provide retraining for the driver or to enact disciplinary action. In the case of a Fee for Departure airline (FFD), the operating company may forward the report to the base manager for the operator who then must interface with the mainline provider, who then must coordinate with the fuel company to address the hazard.

Safety Matters

imaginable that this process can take some time and require a great deal of effort and coordination to effect change, especially if the system is designed to provide feedback on the report. Irregular reports can also be used to address internal operational issues that may have the potential to cause other operational or safety delays, but that aren’t immediate operational issues. Some examples of this could be hotel delays that may result in minimum rest rules being broken, operational maintenance delays, scheduling issues, and even less efficient dispatch procedures or faults. Most companies will have published procedures for identifying and reporting non-standard operational risks as a way for the company to gather feedback, from the front line, about operational hazards and conditions that they may not otherwise know about. This is important because an important component of SMS, which will be discussed in a future issue, involves the identification and reporting of operational hazards before they cause operational risks and problems. One of the primary ingredients for SMS is the identification of hazards before they cause operational risks and problems and is a cornerstone of moving the safety paradigm from a reactive system to a proactive one.

While seemingly minor, with the goal of the prevention of accidents in mind, it is easy to see how the irregular operations report offers a straightforward and accessible way for employees to identify and address operational hazards to the appropriate people inside the company. This makes it very similar to the required operation of one of the core operating SMS principles, which will be discussed in a future issue.

Home Away

or an airline pilot, being on the road should be pretty nice, right? The chance to stay at great hotels with plenty of time in each city sounds great. Well, factoring in operational necessities, regulations, and airline specific contracts, overnights can and do vary tremendously. Consider this: a pilot working four four-day trips a month, with two weeks of vacation and recurrent training, would spend a third of the nights sleeping in a hotel room. That’s being generous considering a significant number of pilots commute and may spend additional nights in a crash pad or hotel. While almost all pilots do not chose their airline based on hotels provided, one factor that affects morale on the job is where (and how much) they sleep when they are not home. All airlines have different sections of their contract for lodging, and there is no doubt the language can mean the difference in a pilot feeling refreshed versus feeling like Bill Murray on Groundhog Day. Most airlines employ a hotel reservation agency to manage hotel bookings throughout the year, as opposed to doing it themselves. And generally, they have a union committee dedicated to overseeing the type of hotels where crews stay. Both sides (union and airline) come together and agree on hotels chosen for overnights, with factors such as pricing and amenities offered. Some airlines may require its hotels to have certain amenities, such as a gym, refrigerator in the room, or transportation provided within a radius of the hotel. Almost all hotels will provide the crew a discount on food and drinks, ranging anywhere from 10% to 50%.

The hotel committee does more than just seek out overnight hotels though; it constantly analyzes the hotels’ suitability are for crews. This is primarily done through a complaint form available to crewmembers online. Matters such as bed bugs or noise issues would be appropriate for complaints. If the issue is possibly linked to that specific room, say bed bugs (yes, it does occasionally pop up!) the crewmember s h o u l d

generally seek another room on a different floor in that hotel. If the issue is still not resolved, the crewmember would most likely seek lodging in a different hotel. Pilots will have to go through the airline’s hotel agency to find a new hotel. This can be a fairly simple process on a clear delay with no cancelations. This process can easily turn into an ordeal lasting a few hours if the airline suffers any IT issues or when weather cancels numerous flights. Some airlines will allow its crewmembers to find their own housing (reasonably priced) and require them to expense the cost to the company. This is extremely rare however. If the airline cannot find a hotel for a crew, the crew probably won’t have any luck either. The company also faces additional time pressures to get crews into hotels: the rest-rules of FAR Part 117 (10 hours between Flight Duty Periods, or days, and a minimum of eight hours in a hotel room). For the crew to meet minimum rest, the longger the wait, the later they must start the next day. How long a crew stays in an overnight city varies significantly. While there is a minimum time crews must be granted for rest purposes between days (10 h o u rs ) , there is no maximum. Domestic

Photos used with permission from Unspalsh.com overnights usually range from 10 hours of rest to 32 hours. Due to flight schedules and regulatioons, international overnights (usually longer segment flights to Europe or Asia), may be 72 hours. For such “long” overnights, roughly half of the airlines provide their crews with a downtown overnight. The exact definition of a long overnight differs by each airline’s contract, but is generally greater than 14 hours. Crews on such overnights can expect a hotel located downtown in the layover city, where more attractions and restaurants are available to crews. This may not seem that big a deal, but may mean the difference between watching TV in the room for hours on end or being able to go catch a Cardinals game just a couple blocks away. Short overnights, on the other hand, are predominantly to allow the crew to simply rest. Food options are generally provided to crews, but may be very limited. The hotels utilized are almost always near the airport, within a five-minute shuttle ride. Features that may be provided by the short overnight hotel will depend upon the contractual language. And what happens when the transportation to the hotel is nowhere to be found? Airlines generally have a certain time frame it allocates for its crews to wait for the transportation service before allowing them to use their own method. In most cases, wait times are 20-30 minutes after the crew blocks in. If transportation is not available, crews usually have the ability to use a taxi service and expense the cost to the company. It is worth noting that rental cars are almost never provided for crews, no matter the duration of the overnight. One U.S. airline does provide its crews with a rental car clause,

redeemable when a scheduled overnight is longer than 26 hours. With all of these considerations, there is no doubt the hotel section of a pilot contract is essential. Airlines will provide various lodging opportunities to its crews, with the primary purpose of providing the crews the required rest. While at times, sleep is the only thing crews will be able to do on an overnight, sometimes being able to wander around and taste the local food will go a long way in raising one’s frame of mind. Make no mistake about it though, while some overnights are used for the sole purpose of resetting the clock for the next day, others can make this job extremely enjoyable.

Written by: Tina Vos and Michael Perrizo A Bright New Long-Term Future at Air Wisconsin

hroughout our fifty year history, Air Wisconsin Airlines has taken pride in providing innovative regional capacity solutions to the US Airline industry. The Company recently announced a long-term capacity agreement with United Airlines which will provide an exciting new chapter of stability and growth for Air Wisconsin to operate 65 CRJ-200 aircraft in the United Express/United Airlines network. Commencing in September of this year Air Wisconsin, whose corporate headquarters are in Appleton, Wisconsin, will proudly become part of the United Airlines family once again and by late spring 2018, its entire CRJ fleet will be exclusively operating as United Express with primary operations in Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Washington Dulles (IAD). Air Wisconsin and United’s roots date back to 1986 and employees eagerly welcome the reunion and the opportunity to provide the highest levels of service to United’s customers.

28 | Aero Crew News

As a result of this exciting new partnership, Air Wisconsin is rapidly increasing its pilot ranks and will be hiring 450-500 pilots within the next two years to support the new United Express operation. Needless to say this level of growth, coupled with substantially increased pilot and fleet utilization, will create great career opportunities and fast Captain Upgrades for new pilots with minimal time expected on reserve. “We are very pleased to be re-establishing a long-term flying partnership with United and once again serving as a United Express carrier as part of United’s global network. This partnership provides secure, long-term opportunities for our employees as we expand and place our full fleet into service with United. Air Wisconsin has a proud history of delivering a superior product and we look forward to providing United’s customers with the safe, reliable and outstanding customer service that is the hallmark of our Company,” says Christine Deister, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Pilot Growth Opportunities The new United flying agreement and the United Career Pathway Program provides Air Wisconsin’s pilots a unique opportunity for career advancement to United Airlines. The expanded United service, the Pathway Program and the significant pilot growth required in the workforce will accelerate the upgrade time for First Officers and new hires to as little as 18-24 months and possibly sooner for those hired in the next 12 months.

Industry Leading Compensation and Benefits In February of this year, Air Wisconsin announced the new starting rate of $35/hour for 1st year First Officer pay and a $33,000 baseline hiring bonus. In addition to this baseline bonus, there are several other bonuses for which a new hire pilot may qualify. For more information go to: www.airwis. com/pilots. Air Wisconsin offers the best 401(k) program with a match up to 8% with 3% guaranteed by Air Wisconsin regardless of employee contribution. In addition, Air Wisconsin has industryleading health care benefits with an employee premium cost share of only 25% and no deductibles. Other great benefits include a minimum of 12 days off per month, up to 35 days of vacation per year, premium pay of up to 200%, cancellation and deadhead pay at a full 100% —all things that create an unrivaled industry leading compensation package that maximizes the quality of life for all of Air Wisconsin’s pilots.

Supporting Pilot Development and Training Within the last year, Air Wisconsin introduced an Airman Trainee Program. This program provides future commercial airline pilots an opportunity to work part-time for the Company and begin a career-building, professional mentorship and overall relationships with the Air Wisconsin pilot group. On top of bi-monthly paychecks, Airman Trainees enjoy benefits such as the 401(k) match, travel privileges and are eligible for employee referral bonuses (up to $4,500 per referral). The Airman Trainee position has been designed to ensure a smooth transition from the classroom to the cockpit by providing tools and resources at the onset of a pilot’s development. The pathway for an Airman Trainee candidate is not restricted to certain schools or programs. Airman Trainees have a very high success rate transitioning to First Officer positions at Air Wisconsin as a result of this program. Air Wisconsin’s investment in its crew members continues throughout all facets of the operation with an emphasis on training. Each pilot receives the best training in the industry from initial, upgrade and recurrent events. To ensure an optimum experience for pilots, the flight training department is based 100% in-house including the ATP/CTP program. Maintaining pilot training within Air Wisconsin is a valuable investment that allows the Company to leverage the experience of its professional instructor group, which has over 500,000 hours combined instructional experience. Our dedicated and

experienced training department ensures a smooth transition for new hire pilots into the safe, professional culture that makes Air Wisconsin the best in the regional industry.

Company Culture Air Wisconsin’s company culture is driven by two key areas; a focus on safety and recognizing the value of our employees. Safety at Air Wisconsin is our main priority which we accomplish everyday by integrating safe practices and procedures into every facet of our operation. We value our customers, crews and co-workers as a core part of our culture and we hire quality candidates who share our commitment to safety and excellence. The Company strives to create an environment where employees enjoy coming to work and know that their contributions are recognized. Air Wisconsin accomplishes this through various individual and team based programs throughout the year. Air Wisconsin also provides financial sponsorship via Teams Giving Back, encouraging employees to extend the Company’s well-known spirit of service and excellence throughout their own communities in the form of volunteerism.

Our People Make the Product What makes Air Wisconsin a great place to work? Ask any employee and they’ll say, “The people.” Air Wisconsin places a high value on employee fit as well as qualifications. A family atmosphere, respect, and a culture that fosters creativity is why the Company has a workforce of nearly 1,400 employees dedicated to its continued success.

“What sets Air Wisconsin apart is something I didn’t realize until I became an employee. At Air Wisconsin, I am privileged to fly with amazing employees who are lifelong friends. I learn from those senior (and junior) to me and have been fortunate to mentor and train some of the pilots who joined our team after me. The people make our difference,” states Tim K., a veteran Air Wisconsin pilot. Air Wisconsin’s reputation is so highly regarded, that many employees recruit co-workers including their own family members. There are several examples of multiple generations of families choosing to work for the Company.

Your Future With Air Wisconsin Our Company’s 50-year history includes relationships with United Airlines, US Airways and American Airlines and was made possible by our great team of employees. As Air Wisconsin soars into the future and continues to grow with our new exclusive flying relationship with United Airlines, we look forward to welcoming the next generation of Air Wisconsin’s pilots who will build on our proven reputation. Don’t let our name deceive you – although our corporate office is located in Wisconsin, the breadth of our flying network currently covers, or in the past has covered, the Midwest, East Coast, MidAtlantic, Rocky Mountains, California and Canada. We welcome all outstanding men and women aviators to join our team of dedicated, professional pilots as we embark on another great chapter in our history with United Airlines. Join us and receive the best training, pay and benefits in the regional airline industry – as well as the fast-paced career growth opportunities you are looking for!

Interview with Michael Perrizo, Managing Director of Flight Operations Pre Interview: Craig: How do you select applicants to be brought in for an interview? Michael: We are proud that Air Wisconsin pilots are known for being some of the best in the industry. When we select a candidate for an interview we are looking for a pilot that can not only stand up to our Company’s high standard of safety, but will be a good fit for our close knit Company culture as a future leader. This is critical because we need to interview every pilot as a future Captain due to our upgrade time that is expected to be between 18 and 24 months. C: M: C: M: C: M:

Interview: C: Do you recommend that applicants get to your interview city the day before and get a hotel room for the night? M: We do recommend that candidates arrive in the city where their interview is being held the night before. We understand that this may not be possible in all cases, but it removes some of the stress that is associated with a job interview. To assist with the financial burden associated with the travel, Air Wisconsin provides positive space travel to the interview and works with each candidate to help offset the costs.

What can an applicant do to increase their chances of being called for an interview? All applicants can contact us directly at pilotrecruiting@airwis.com and provide their resumes for immediate review. Applicants with prior 121 or 135 experience along with those who are about to meet or exceed the ATP or R-ATP minimums have a much greater chance of being selected for an interview for a pilot position. Applicants who do not yet meet ATP or R-ATP minimums should still apply to be considered for an Airman Trainee position.

C: M: How critical is it to attend a job fair to get an interview? We love the opportunity to get to know all of our candidates on a personal level and job fairs often offer C: the opportunity for a pilot to meet one on one with a member of the Pilot Recruitment team. This not only M: helps us get to know the candidate better but also the candidate to get to know Air Wisconsin. What is the best way to prepare for an interview with your company? We recommend that each pilot study Air Wisconsin Airlines to understand our values, our mission, and how they can be a contributing member to the team. We are looking for pilots who can clearly demonstrate their quality of character and technical proficiency with a passion to be a part of an amazing group. C:

32 | Aero Crew News

Can you walk me through a typical day of interviews? Our Pilot Recruitment team loves to share their passion about working for Air Wisconsin; to share this passion they first sit down with the candidates to go through our Pilot contract and discuss any questions they may have. Our team then looks to gain further insight into the pilot’s background and judgment in regards to safety, customer service, and overall experiences. Pilots will be evaluated on their proficiency with approach plate charts and competency of general aviation principles as well as their reaction to high intensity situations. What kind of questions can an applicant expect to be asked? Questions are broken down into three general areas. The first area focuses on a pilot’s background and experiences. Following those background questions, we focus on two areas which help us determine how the candidate will react in various situational/ behavioral and technical scenarios. Situational/ behavioral questions ensure the pilot’s fit with our Company’s culture and values. Technical questions show us where the pilot stands when looking at the Company’s high standard of safety as well as the candidate’s ability to be able to upgrade quickly and join one of the best pilot groups in the industry. What are some of the biggest mistakes that applicants make during the interview process?

Back to Contents

Interview with Michael Perrizo, continued... M:

The biggest mistake we have seen applicants make during the interview process is not providing full disclosure when discussing past and present training, experience, and situations.

Written test: C: Is there a written or computer test? M: We use a 50 question test with questions deriving from the ATP-written test bank. This evaluation allows our team to gauge a pilotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical competency and further provides insight as to the experience level of the candidate. Post Interview: C: Do you tell applicants they are hired in person that day? M: Depending on the situation, there are cases where applicants will know following their interview if they are receiving an offer of employment. In some instances, we will need to gather more information from the applicant before we can extended an offer of employment. C: M:

If not, how long do applicants have to wait to know if they are hired? We will reach out to every candidate as soon as possible which is normally no longer than 24 hours after the interview.

C: M:

How soon can an applicant expect a class date after being hired? Per FAA regulations, every candidate must pass a drug screen, FBI fingerprint check, and background check before they are able to start in class. Air Wisconsin works with the candidates during this time to join a class date that works for the Company and the pilot.

General: C: How many pilots does your airline expect to hire this year? M: Over the next two years we expect to hire 450 to 500 pilots to support our increased fleet utilization with our transition to United. So in the next 12 months

we are looking to add 225 to 250 pilots. With our aggressive hiring projections over the next two years and beyond pilots will see upgrade times of 18 to 24 months and possibly sooner for those pilots hired in the next 12 months.

C: M:

Can you explain the ATP/CTP class that your company offers? Air Wisconsin provides a Company paid ATP/CTP course. During this course we pay a starting salary of $35 per hour and provide single occupancy hotel accommodations. The course is designed around FAA regulations where you will receive 30 hours of inhouse ground school and 10 hours of level-D simulator training. We do not outsource this course. Our training is provided with our Company instructors and equipment. At the completion of our course, you will be eligible to take the ATP written exam.

C: M:

Do you have a hiring bonus? Is there any specific criterion to qualify for the bonus? Air Wisconsin is excited to offer a $33,000 baseline hiring bonus. Every new First Officer is eligible to receive this bonus amount which is paid out over three years. In addition to this baseline bonus there are several bonuses for which a new hire may qualify. Candidates should contact a member of our Pilot Recruiting team for more information.

C: M:

Does Air Wisconsin have a pilot referral program? We do. Any Air Wisconsin employee that refers a pilot who is hired on and completes training is eligible to receive up to $4,500 per referral.

C: Can you describe the career path program that Air Wisconsin has with United Airlines? M: We are excited that through our partnership with United Airlines our pilots will now have a defined path to United through the Career Pathway Program. We are aggressively working on the Pathway Program implementation and will be sharing details in the near future.

How to Stay Cool When You’re in the Pool

he excitement of receiving your first Conditional Job Offer (CJO) from one of your top targeted airlines can be overwhelming. It’s a very proud moment. You probably spent countless hours perfecting your résumé, cleaning up your logbooks, filling out applications, and preparing for the interview. You worked hard for this moment and now you want to share it with the world. The first thing most pilots do is change their Facebook profile picture to the tail flash of their new employer and blast out a social media message to their friends announcing the CJO. Here is just some food for thought on why you might want to hold off on making a social media announcement to the world.

You are now swimming in “the pool”. In the aviation community, “the pool” is the term used to describe the time period between receiving the CJO and actually starting training. That period varies from one airline to the next and largely depends on your availability date, how many pilots were “swimming in the pool” ahead of you, and how many pilots the airline can squeeze through their training pipeline at any given time. The latter of those three factors, the training pipeline capacity, is generally the most limiting factor. Some pilots only spend a few weeks in the pool, but others have been left in the deep end for up to a year without a flotation device. I spent six months in the pool at my previous airline. I personally know several pilots who were left in the deep end of the pool for over a year at various airlines who hired many more pilots than their training pipeline capacity could handle. One thing to keep in mind while you’re treading water is that a Conditional Job Offer is just that — conditional. You are not getting paid yet, and although it is likely that the airline will get you into training at some point in the near future, it’s not a guarantee. In September 2001, I was stationed at Sheppard

36 | Aero Crew News

Photo used with permission from Pixabay.com AFB, Texas. The airlines were hiring again after a long layoff in the 1990s. I personally knew at least a dozen pilots who had recently been hired by the airlines. Some of them left the military at the 12-to-18-year point with no retirement. They bought nice houses in other cities where they were going to be domiciled with their new airline. Then somebody decided to crash a few airliners into the Pentagon and World Trade Center, and, all of sudden, those guys/gals were out on the street. The lucky ones had already started training and were furloughed. When you are furloughed, you keep your pilot seniority number with the understanding that at some undetermined point in the future, the airline will recall you to work. Until then, you are essentially unemployed. It took over ten years for some of my pilot friends to be recalled to their airlines after being furloughed in the days after 9/11. The unlucky ones were waiting in the pool, and had their CJO’s taken away. Even if the situation is not as extreme as the one I just described, you need to consider the possibility that even if this CJO is from your top-choice airline, depending on how long they leave you in the pool, you might need to take interviews with other airlines just to put food on the table. Of course that depends on your personal financial situation. The other possibility is that the first CJO you receive is not from your top-choice airline and you were already planning to take interview invites from airlines that were rank-ordered higher up on your “dream sheet” list. My point to all this is to say that you really need to consider how smart it is to blow up your social media profile with your CJO and the logo of the airline that just hired you. The next airline you interview with just might (read: probably will) do a Google search on you and it would be awkward, to say the least, if you are interviewing at Delta and your Facebook profile picture is the American Airlines tail flash!

Consider this CJO like your first combat deployment. You wanted to tell your friends and family where you were going and when you would be back, but OPSEC required you to stay silent. You probably want to make sure your spouse resists the temptation to announce your CJO on his/her social media accounts also, just in case. OK, it’s not quite as serious as OPSEC. I’m not saying you can’t call your friends and family to announce your recent success; phone calls don’t leave a trail of breadcrumbs for potential employers to follow. I’m just cautioning you against using social media as your messaging platform because social media is very easy for most anyone to see. Type in any name into the Facebook search bar (a name that is not already one of your contacts) and you will see what I’m talking about. You can see profile pictures at a minimum, and sometimes you can get a lot more information than that depending on the security settings that person has established. However, even if you think you have your accounts locked down so nobody except those you have given permissions to can see your information, I still wouldn’t risk it. So when is it safe to make your big announcement to the world on social media? After all, you’ve worked really hard to get to this point in life and there is nothing wrong with basking in the moment if the conditions are correct. I would offer you two conditions to meet before you make a social media CJO announcement: 1. The airline has given you a confirmed class start date. Once you have a class start date, chances are pretty good that this is for real. If you want to play it more

conservatively, you could wait until you actually start class and have a company ID badge (which usually happens on Day 1). Or you could go with my wife’s ultra-conservative philosophy that nothing is real until the first paycheck clears the bank. 2. You are 100% certain that this is the airline you want to retire from at age 65. If this airline was not your #1 choice, or at least an airline that you are happy to call your new #1, then hold off on any social media announcements. As mentioned previously in this article, you don’t want to be in the situation of interviewing at another airline with your current airline employer logo prominently displayed on your social media account. While I’m on the subject of social media, it is really important to clean up your social media profiles before you hit send on your first airline application. Any material that might be considered offensive or off-color needs to be removed (which might cover about 98% of some pilots’ social media posts). Also, remove all those party pictures with drink in hand. I was amazed when I went to clean up my Facebook page just how many pictures had alcohol in them. I know you don’t have a drinking problem, and you know you don’t have a drinking problem, but the human resources folks at XYZ airline may not know that you don’t have a drinking problem. I cover this topic and many others related to the military to airline transition process in Cockpit2Cockpit.

How To Increase Your ‘Side’ Income

ll of the extremely financially successful pilots with whom I’ve spent time have one thing in common: additional streams of income, beyond their airline job. Take a page out of their (and most financially successful people’s) playbook and increase the income you have coming in “on the side.” Why you should increase your income Regardless of where you are in your career, the greater your income, the faster you build your net worth. The faster you build your net worth, the shorter the leg to your financial freedom. In addition to building greater wealth faster, having income from multiple sources is the prudent thing to do as a pilot. Why? Because the aviation industry goes through uncertain times, and it’s wise “diversification” and risk management to have income beyond your flight pay. Increasing your income is easier than you think When I work with pilots to establish side jobs or increase income, I almost always hear that it’s “too complicated” or it’s “not for me.” Even though it may feel overly complicated or out of your control, it’s not! Increasing your income is much easier than you think. Simply put, it’s about finding where you add value to others and then exchanging the value you can (or already do) add for money. Follow five steps that always work and you’ll be well on your way.

Step 2 – List your current skills Make a written list of all the skills you currently possess. Come up with as many as you can and don’t worry if some don’t seem relevant, because they very well may be in the next step. For some individuals, it can be hard to come up with a solid list. If that’s the case for you, simply ask those you’re closest to what your best skills – your “superpowers” – are. You’ll be surprised at the feedback you’ll get! Be creative and don’t stop until you have at least ten. Once you have your list of skills, move to step three. Step 3 – Identify where the money is and who has it There’s an old saying in business: “Go where the money is.” When you’re looking to increase your income and income streams, find out who has money and needs one or more of the skills you listed. Don’t overcomplicate this step! The most common mistake I see in this process is people looking to make more of this than it is. Simply find those who have money and would benefit from your skills. Now that you have your list of skills and people or organizations that would benefit from them, you’re ready to move to step four. Photo used with permission from Pixabay.com

Step 1 – Look for “gold” with your current employer It’s rare that one cannot find an opportunity to add more value (in exchange for more compensation) with their current employer. This is especially true if you’re working for a flight school building hours or for a regional looking to hire new pilots. Spend time reviewing where you see “gaps” with your current employer and come up with a proposal to fill those gaps in exchange for a small percentage of the gains. You’ll be surprised at how often you can find these opportunities. For some, this may provide sufficient income to offset other costs or save additional money. If you’re looking for more, move on to step two.

Final thoughts With the right plan and desire, you can increase your income and shorten you path to wealth. Doing so is always smart risk management as you increase the number of income streams you have.

Photo used with permission from Pixabay.com Step 4 – Exchange your skills for that money This is the fun part because it’s where you start to bring in the additional income. Don’t worry about whether you are “good” at sales or not. Simply focus on sharing the value you can provide the people or organizations on your list and share it with them. Start with five people, share the value and skills you can bring, and ask them to do business with you. Nervous about taking this step? Rest assured and read the next step. Step 5 – Take action One of the paradoxes of taking action is that confidence follows action – it doesn’t lead it. This means you only feel comfortable after you take action, not before. Money, success, and opportunity always follow action. Take a leap of faith and make the first call or send the first email. Then do the second. After each small step, you’ll build your confidence and realize that the worst that can happen is you end up right where you started, but a little bit stronger! Three real-life examples Here are three real-life people who have followed the steps to increasing their income to give you a little extra motivation as you start your journey. I recently heard of a flight school student who also started work at the flight school in a non-instructor capacity. He’s not only receiving extra income from his job, but he’s getting discounted flight hours as he acquires his ratings. I have a client who is a captain with a regional airline and is very much interested in photography and motivation. He uses his downtime on trips to take great photos and attach motivational quotes and sayings to them. He’s licensed these to a t-shirt company and has several other deals in the works. I also work with a first officer at a regional who uses his downtime to drive for Uber (including his trips to the airport). He is taking ½ of the money he earns from Uber and investing it in sales training and coaching to improve his value and skills. His plan is to use his new skills to replace the Uber driving and continue the cycle until he’s earning more from his side income than his flying!

Take the time to see if there is income you can generate from your current airline or employer, then list your skills, followed by those who need those skills and have money. Then, exchange your skills for their money and deliver as promised. If you’re not happy with your immediate side job, take some of your extra income and invest it in improving yourself so you can command even higher income going forward. Let me know if there’s anything I can do along your journey. Just remember – you can increase your income and take command of your finances!
