AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT AIR WISCONSIN AIRLINES

Greenville, Wisconsin-based Air Wisconsin Airlines, a regional airline subcarrier, announced a major reduction in force.

The reduction will impact 513 jobs including 219 salaried and management employees and 294 temporary employees. Layoffs are expected to commence on March 31, 2025, and affect positions at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and Appleton International Airport.

The decision was driven by a contractual matter that will end the company's partnership with American Airlines in April 2025.

According to Robert Binns, President and CEO, "This strategic shift underscores our adaptability and commitment to delivering reliable, customized air travel solutions where they are most needed. As we diversify into EAS [Essential Air Service] and grow our charter operations, we remain committed to delivering safe, efficient, and quality service to every community and customer we serve."

Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
