[edit] Opening comment

Air WIsconsin no longer flies for United Airlines. They now fly only for US Airways.

[edit] Anti-Management Sentiment

The content recently added to the history section (which I had already removed earlier) has a strong anti-management tone to it. Since I don't want to get into an editing war here, I want to know what other people think of this, in my opinion, opinionated and unsubstantiated view. NW036 20:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• I think it just states the facts--24.220.93.3 21:24, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Three things. 1-Is the material encyclopedic? 2-Is the material presented in a NPOV manner? 3-The tone used to present some of that material appears to also be an issue. Vegaswikian 23:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation appears to be the correct name of the company. From their web site it is not clear that anything is called Air Wisconsin. There are a few references to Air Wisconsin Airlines. So this article may not be at the correct name. Since this is a private company, there are no public filing statements to verify this. Should this article be moved. Vegaswikian 00:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

• Air Wisconsin is the publically known name of the airline however. Granted that this is not a definite reason for moving it or not, but when I flew them they announced the flight as "United Express operated by Air Wisconsin" in the welcoming announcement. The info box has AWAC as the parent company, perhaps, just as US Airways has two separate articles for the holding company and the airline itself, there should be a small one about the parent company. Either that or a section should be added to the top of this one. NW036 00:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Normally I would say at least have a section in the airline article for the holding company. In this case, it is not clear that Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation is not in fact the airline. Airlinecodes lists Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation as the name with Air Wisconsin under known as. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies) does not really help here. I guess the current name may meet the most common name criteria. Vegaswikian 00:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Destinations

I started updating the destinations with new cities that Air Wisconsin flies to now, but as I added more, it looked more cluttered than it already did. Does anyone have any ideas how to make it look neater without taking up too much room? Some airlines have an entire page devoted to that, but I'm not sure I feel ZW needs that. NW036 00:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

• You have two choices. Both of them used the standard format that you find in the destination articles. Either change to this format and keep the list in this article or change to the standard format and move the list to its own article. Given the number of destinations, I'd vote for its own article. Vegaswikian 01:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Alright, I'll try to get that done tonight. Since this would be the first article of this type I've created, I'm going to take the template from US Airways or something and copy in the ZW information. NW036 01:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Edit: Finished that article and added the link under "Services" NW036 01:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LaGuardia Hub

Doesn't US Airways Express have an Air Wisconsin hub in LaGuardia Airport? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.249.65.188 (talk) 15:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC).
