    Pinnacle and Frontier

    First, their CEO. Now, their CFO. Coincidence? If Republic spins off Frontier, I'm thinking Pinnacle "Holdings" will acquire Frontier. Thoughts?

    PCL / MSA Elections?

    Couldn't help but note an email referring to nomination of interim Captain, FO, Sec Treas reps and nomination of CA, FO, SecTreas from Oct '11-Feb '14. And, as usual, no further information was provided other than the "email your reps or union for further information." Then I got a blue-colored...

    It's time for "that" question again

    Beaten dead horse, I know, but I just wanna make sure I dont do anything illegal. To get a FAA ATP one of the requirements is "250 hours of flight time in an airplane as a pilot in command, or as second in command performing the duties of pilot in command." Now, I'm not saying log PIC time...

    When is the PinnaColaba list effective?

    Anyone know? Bloch didn't mention an effective date. And when will we get our single operating certificate? Pinnacle is far too shortstaffed to allow any Colgan/Mesaba upgrades. Kinda impossible when they are cancelling sim training for current Pinnacle pilots as a result of a lack of...

    Tips to not suck at travel

    Pinnacle getting 3-to-1 over Mesaba

    RELAX, not the pilots. Was in the crew room, and happened to see (for myself) the actual LOA between the USW of the Flight Attendants and our company. Among other conditions, the ratio in this LOA is 3 years of Mesaba FA seniority will equal 1 year Pinnacle seniority, for integration purposes...

    Delay of 9E/XJ/9L list

    ...Before any XJ pilot (bri5150, xjhawk especially) throws mud at 9E pilots, consider the real source of why the list is being held up: because a *certain* group just can't get over themselves, and accept that all 3 pilot groups should be at a level playing field with their pilot class date as...

    AA Pilots, rumor control

    Heard a rumor that AA recall rights only extend to 10 years. So if all the pilots furloughed Sept 2001, will their recall rights expire this upcoming September (2011)? On a sidenote, I can't believe it's been almost a decade! :(

    Base Realignment for Pincha-nickel!

    Shift from MSP/MEM to DTW/JFK. Asking for 50 crews to DTW and 25 to JFK. Expecting the shift out of MSP/MEM, but everyone is open to bid and ge whatever their seniority will hold.

    Fedex/UPS Age 65 Retirement projections?

    Anyone have numbers for mandatory retirement (Age 65) projections from 2011-[20xx] for their current pilot group? Fedex and UPS

    Mesaba/Colgan guys, some 9E news

    The latest 9E union memo pretty much makes it clear we will not be getting a JCBA done by Nov 15. What have you guys been told? I hope no one got their hopes up! Pinnacle Corp management is not interested in its employees, they only care about the bottom dollar. For 9E guys, it means continuing...

    JetBlue Scope?

    I remember a while ago there was a thread regarding that management offered basically the equivalent of a 'gentlemen's agreement' /handshake deal to protect scope, but with no guarantees of protection on paper. My question is, what exactly is the current status of JetBlue's scope protection...

    Honest question about ATP requirement

    No flame intended in this post. It is a legitimate question. I understand it's a hot button issue, but bear with me. Suppose a FO, SIC, is on a RJ, with less than 250 hrs PIC. Certified only for Comm/Inst/ME, and wants an ATP. Here's the excerpt from FAA requirements: The way I'm looking at...

    Mesaba CRJs to be "asset" transfer?

    From the latest update, it seems that the Mesaba CRJs to Pinnacle will be an "asset" transfer and the props will be "merger" of Mesaba with Colgan. Am I reading this right? If so, I hate to be the one to say it, but all Mesaba pilots should get ready to be bent over. It doesn't seem XJ pilots...

    Pinnacle's new staffing strategy. Ingenious!

    LET MESABA DO IT! :laugh: Idiots. They should have hired ages ago! And now we are even more short staffed. Will only get worse as more and more pilots leave to go to places like Emirates, JetBlue, etc. etc. What little money we did have for hiring was blown away to pay off a debt...

    ATP License with less than 250 hrs PIC

    Hey guys, I was wondering about how some pilots get the ATP with less than 250 hrs PIC. Something about using their SIC time to credit towards the total time. Or something about 'holder does not meet ICAO standards of PIC". Anyway, I'm in that boat. I have 158 hrs PIC and a boatload of...

    Compass guys, what's up with the flowthrough?

    Was in MSP and ran across a nice Compass CA. I asked him about the flowthrough situation at Compass and if he had heard anything. Apparently, Delta is "holding it back."??? What is this suppose to mean? Compass guys, can you chime in? My understanding was that this was a "solid"...

    Qatar Airways anyone?

    Two questions for anyone who has been there/interviewed, 1. Does a US Comm/ME/Inst and ATP written qualify for them for FO position. I mean, they say a frozen ATPL is allowed, it's not a 'frozen ATPL' but about as close as it can get for those in the US without having the ATPL itself. 2...
