Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

A new 11-year code-share contract between Air Wisconsin and United Airlines went into full effect last month, after a U.S. bankruptcy court approved the terms of an MOU giving the Appleton, Wis.-based regional airline the authority to fly up to 17 more fifty-seat Bombardier CRJs as United Express. The deal also allows Air Wisconsin to continue United Express operations with its 17 BAe 146s through 2005. Beyond then, United might ask Air Wisconsin to retire up to seven of the four-engine jets.
In September United awarded Air Wisconsin exclusive responsibility for ground handling all United Express operations at Denver International and Chicago O’Hare Airports. The two-year contract also gave Air Wisconsin the ground-handling concession at 18 United Express outstations. 
One of two United Express carriers to come to terms recently on code-share concessions for bankrupt United, Air Wisconsin on October 4 began serving two new United Express routes from Dulles International Airport, to Kansas City and St. Louis, after incumbent Dulles resident Atlantic Coast Airlines announced its intention to sever its relationship with the Chicago-based major.
