Aero-News Quote of the Day

“For the past seven years, Air Wisconsin pilots have worked hard toward a new pilot contract. This kind of delay is unreasonable.

Chris Suhs, chairman of ALPA’s Air Wisconsin group, discussing Air Wisconsin pilots marking their seventh year without a new contract. The pilots and their management have been in negotiations since October 2010, and the most recent mediated talks have failed once again to produce an acceptable agreement.
