some info on Northwest Air Lease

[Joe the Plumber]

Just wondering if someone could give me some insight on Northwestern Air Lease, scheduling, QoL, pay things that aren't on the website.... ??

I did do use the search function... not too much came up.

Thanks in advance!!!!

They laid off 4 guys last week. Not sure from which base though.

laid off 4 guys at Fort Smith base.
my friend works there as rampie and he's pretty happy with the place.

What are you interested in? Jetstream, maint or ramp work

[rolowang]

first ramp then pilot..

I heard on the AM radio this morning that they are starting a sched in early Feb 2009 from COLD LAKE to CALGARY. Sounds like they might need to take those 4 pilots back...

Yours,

No pilots were laid off.

I'm just reading the news. FWIW, almost all I know about what's been happening up there in the last couple of months has come from CBC with a trickle of word of mouth.

Your call sign gets to be Polaris. Other than that I got nothing for you.
