Schedule and pairing construction is a complicated subject. The company must assign thousands of flights to hundreds of pilots while minimizing cost and maximizing productivity. The company fully leverages the ill-gotten concessionary contract with little to no regard for the pilots’ level of fatigue, quality of life, time at home or earning potential. It has been stated time and again that the company will spend no additional money on the schedules. This is strong evidence that the company ignores their most valuable asset, their flight crews, pilots and flight attendants. This section is designed to educate you about pilot schedules. We will thoroughly examine our pairings which are a detailed description of an individual trip. Trips vary in length from one to four days. The first part of this education process is the Pairing Decoder. The Pairing Decoder will allow you to examine the pairings that are included in this section. The individual pairings will be representative of different issues that we have of our schedules. Air Wisconsin pilots are hard workers.
