Air Wisconsin prepares for life outside the United fold
Last month’s decision by United Airlines to cut loose Air Wisconsin Airline Corp.

Last month’s decision by United Airlines to cut loose Air Wisconsin Airline Corp. (AWAC) from its stable of regional affiliates might not have come as a surprise to Geoff Crowley and company, but the drawn-out divorce will no doubt leave a wound that might take more than the comfort of a new partner to fully heal. After all, to be cast off after 12 years of a relatively peaceful relationship would unsettle anyone, much less a management team that has prided itself on its record of stability since buying the company in 1993.
