9Eto hire in January

What happened to Delta's premier regional airline, SEVEN?

FYI- I've heard similar about Pinnacle. Unfortunately, there are a lot of desperate people out there and will probably be jumping all over a job.

Ouch...........you had to open that old wound again. I guess before I posted that I should have researched that fact that Daddy Delta Hates turbo-props....not good if half your fleet have props.

Or if you're dumb enough to think that there's such thing as a premier regional.

Compared to some of the scum-bag regional outfits out there, I would say there are a few that would be considered "premier," compared to others. Either way, I was wrong on my info regarding XJ. The info I was receiving at the time was painting a picture of large growth and a large domicile in ATL. Obviously, there were things that changed. Now it looks like Delta's focus is to phase out the Saabs and the smaller airports it serves via EAS. This appears to be deliberate on Delta's part and it is becoming quite clear that Deltas long term plans do not include service to a large portion of smaller airports currently served by Mesaba saabs.

I've had the misfortune of working under the lash of some people who were escaped management from the old Flagship...

I sure hope you have less oppressive and more competent management and HR people now!

I believe the appropriate description is more oppressive and less competent.

oh geez I missed this one! And I thought you were just stupid but evidently your dispespectful too CAPTAIN!!!!....This p.o.s joke of an airline has one of the best performance records in the industry and this pilot group fought for 5+ years for a decent contract...Who do you think you are? We have gotten nothing but respect and support from other pilot groups for voting this TA down...this place is not Mesa...the pilots wont let that happen, whether you choose to believe it or not...you are oblivious to reality, you dilusional A$%clown....please...if we are such scrotum sucking scumbags....PM me your name and ill make sure you never have to step on a 9E airplane for the rest of your life...you get a life TOOL!!!!

im gonna go out on a limb here...your profile says you are a Saab captain...u are A.) A Captain at Colgan who is pissed because his mom and pop airline got sucked up by the big bad corporation (welcome to the 21st century...sad but true!....or B.) A Mesaba Captain who is a horrible representative of his pilot group as I have had nothing but respect and support from the XJ guys and gals....in either case things are not going so well for you and it makes you feel like a big man to get on a stupid message board and call other people out....sad...very sad...

The answer is B) He has been a Mesaba Saab Captain for 2 whole years and yes you are correct in your assessment of him.

Will they be hiring separately for the CRJ2 and the CRJ900? Because if I apply, I only want to fly the CRJ-900. Do you think it's possible? Discuss.

 

[Tarzan]

No. I thought Goat Jet was wonderful. What happened? Only fly the 900? Are you special too?

Hmm, overstaffed in the -900, the last displacement sort of fixed that. Understaffed in the -200 (again, why the displacement). Which do you think they will hire into?

Doesn't really matter though, eventually dual qualification will come, so you will be qualified in both.

BTW, make sure you bring that attitude that you only want the -900 to the interview. I am sure you will make an impression!

 

[i fly boxes]

For you we will save a seat on the 900 even with your name on it. You can deadhead to DTW to fly your 200. If you come here you will be on the 200 in DTW

I truly hope this is flamebate for your case...NEWS FLASH...its the same airplane!....it has a FADEC and climbs alot better....its still a CRJ...and for the record this place has LOTS of problems but our 200's are actually very nice airplanes compared to some others ive been on...you shouldve saved face here and said you would only take the 900 because you live in ATL....because trust me, we have ex ATA 75 drivers on the 200 and they arent too good to have "only" 50 seats behind them...are you?

You're funny...you think you know who I am. I am not bitter about anything except the airline industry alone. Actually I wouldn't even call it bitter. More like frustrated. But who in the industry isn't. Obviously you were at XJ for a while. Not sure who you are but you are welcome to PM me and I'll let you know if we know each other. Otherwise stop commenting for me. Because more than likely, you have no clue who I am.

 

[Monster Buck]

How was that oct. 15 07 upgrade?

Pinnacle hiring? There's nothing official yet.

Dont pay no attention to SEVEN, he's a tool. I have many friends at XJ and this guy doesn't represent them well at all.

How's reserve life / commuting into it at PCL? Trying to figure out whether to apply or not should I get furballed. I already know the money deal, and it'll pay slightly more than unemployment. Also wondering about family medical insurance.

Thanks.

I commute from the west cost to DTW, but i'm bidding in the 20's in DTW. but if i was on reserve and commuting, it would suck. Medical and dental is probably the best thing this airline has. I pay $150/month for my whole family. Single i think it's around $30 (not positive). It's either single or family plan.

 

[OPECJet]

Thanks for the info!

One of the better if not the best insurance packages out there.

Reserve's. Read this board on the PNCL TA, it should answer most of your questions.

Commuting will always be dependent on where you are based and where you live. If you live in domicile or close by (less than a 90 min flight) it is palatable. Live further than that, you don't need to ask the question because you know the answer.

 

[altimaklr]

Pinnacle reserve is absolutely miserable unless you live in base.. even if you live in base, it is still horrid. Used and abused does not begin to describe what you'll be going through. Don't expect it to get much better with the new contract, the senior guys and union seems to think that sacrificing reserves for the sake of lineholders is ok.

Insurance is one of the best parts of our current contract. Our union claims we have the best terms of any alpa carrier, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. I pay $15 a month, and co-pays are very low.

If you think reserve a PCL is bad..look at what the CMR reserves are complaining about on this board. Schedules with single days off..2 on 1 off 3 on 1 off.. etc and commuting to JFK too. In the recent past Mesaba reserves did a lot of 'reserve out of domicile'.. sitting in a hotel room for 5 days. Mesa reserves do 20 days of ready reserve for months at a time. Reserve is a hard a job no matter where you go. PCL's reserve system is no worse than any other regionals and significantly better than most.

I agree reserve at ANY regional is a hard job. Are any significantly better than another? YMMV depending on the regional, the reserve system and the ability to handle frustration.

Simply not true. ASA, Wisconsin, Express jet and Mesaba at a minimum have better reserve sections than our current or TA contract. There is no excuse to make reserve here this punative.

When you put in your bid that you want a 7 day off stretch thats the price you pay. Large blocks of days off for reserves is simply not an option.

commuting to JFK too.

What does commuting have to do with reserve rules?

In the recent past Mesaba reserves did a lot of 'reserve out of domicile'.. sitting in a hotel room for 5 days.

Kinda like we used to do at PCL via a concessionary LOA?

Mesa reserves do 20 days of ready reserve for months at a time.

Happens at PCL too.

That is pure bullsh*t.

 

[20sx]

Pilots that commute like "reserve out of domecile". Get 24 hour per diem, and a room to their self. Some pilots are missing out on $$ since that stopped.

You couln't pay me to work at 9E. Flew 135 previous, sent 1 resume to 1 regional, got hired....end of story. I think it's the other way around. You're probably one of the many that couldn't get hired at a respectable airline with a positive repuation....last choice Pinnacle then Mesa. Or maybe your the guy who didn't want to go to that other airline because "props r' for boats." Barbie Jet syndrome......let me guess....Gulfstream?????:laugh:

BTW...I don't meat the qualifications for 9E anyway; I am only fluent in one language.
