Pinnacle in trouble!

[doh]

We only get 50% pay for cancellations

Well that helps explain why the attrition is so high!

I was invited to interview at Pinnacle last month. I am 63 and I never applied. Are they sending invites to everyone with an ATP?

On the commute home the other day - after waiting 3 hours for a "crew" - heard from the crew they were loosing 45 captains a month. Crew told me they lose more captains then they are able to upgrade. Newhire FO's come in with wet ink on their commerical multi's.

Glad I was on OT!

Not true. Not even half that.

But the part about needing an ATP is true....

I just met a new hire FO the other day that had about 400 TT with 20 ME. I don't even think this person will even be able to upgrade for about 3 years. That may create problems down the line if this is a trend.

All you need is a pulse.....and an ATP written.

3 years ago no regional would even talk to anyone with less than 3000 hours and 121 experience.

Funny how things work out. Wonder what will come of the majors once all the furloughs are called?

They called me at 10 pm on SATURDAY night offering an interview. I told them I would think about it if the pay was a little better for FO's. All I heard was a click of the phone hanging up after that.

Is this a joke?

Not a joke at all. I was finger blasting my girlfriend on the couch when they called. I answered the call and told them I was a few months away from making $35 plus as a second yr FO flying the same airplane and told them I would consider if they paid the same and offered a quicker upgrade. I was a little tipsy and all I heard after that was the phone being hung up. I got right back to work on the important stuff.
