It is with great sorrow that I inform you that our previous MEC leader and Air Wisconsin brother Thorne Saylor has lost his battle with cancer and Flown West.

Your MEC Officers and the Negotiating team met with the company briefly this past week to discuss the future of Air Wisconsin and its potential impact on our pilot group.

We have now completed the process of compiling, analyzing, and discussing the recent ALPA Pilot Survey results. Nearly 80% of you participated and we thank you again for giving your input, as well as for your calls and text messages! We are applying this data into our strategic planning for discussions with the Company next week and beyond.

Today we approach another devastating day at Air Wisconsin -- one of the most shattering days in our pilot group’s nearly 60-year history -- as we prepare to say farewell to 147 of our fellow Brothers and Sisters. In addition to tomorrow’s mass furloughs, 26 of our senior Captains will soon be operating our aircraft from the junior side of the flight deck.
