Comprehensive interview intel — history, fleet, compensation, hiring, culture, and strategy. Know the company inside and out before you walk in.
Air Wisconsin is no longer a traditional regional airline. After ending its American Eagle partnership in April 2025, laying off 500+ employees, and briefly pivoting to Essential Air Service (EAS) and charter operations, Air Wisconsin was sold to CSI Aviation (a New Mexico-based government charter company) on January 9, 2026. Under CSI ownership, Air Wisconsin's operations have shifted entirely to government charter flights — primarily ICE deportation and detention transport — using 13 CRJ-200 aircraft. The airline's website no longer lists passenger routes.
For interview purposes: Air Wisconsin is not currently hiring pilots for traditional airline flying. The information below provides historical context for pilots who may have questions about the airline or who want to understand its transformation. If you see Air Wisconsin in interview prep materials, understand that the company's mission has fundamentally changed under CSI ownership.
