Jobs in Milwaukee Created by AirTran
Thursday, January 7th, 2010A major airline is looking to create hundreds of jobs in Milwaukee.
AirTran Airways Inc. recently announced that it will establish pilot and flight attendant bases in Milwaukee, a move that will create about 100 new jobs in the city. The company, which is based in Orlando and has its largest hub in Atlanta, hopes the new bases will support its growing operations in Wisconsin.
According to an article by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the bases will initially consist of 50 pilots to support Boeing 737 flying and a minimum of 50 flight attendants to support Boeing 737 and Boeing 717 operations. However, AirTran could eventually double its workforce to include about 200 employees.
