Another Pinnacle ?

[Rez O. Lewshun]

i am so confused by all of this, so i am just going to go interview and see what happens. The way i look at it, its better than teaching instrument approaches over and over and over again.

Chipilot,

Don't concern yourself with inner politics. I had to offer a perspective for the insiders. Too many of my fellow pilots take on the sheep mentality.

Interview. Get hired. You will be welcomed into the group. Enjoy the jet.

 

[Detroitpilot22]

yes

Yeah, i don't think its a dream job or anything like that, I just know its time for me to move on from my current job, and there are so many regionals out there and in my opinion the best one is the one that offers me a job. In every career you are going to have to sacrifice for the first 5 years of your career anyways.

 

[kmox29]

True class. Thanks man. I walked with you XJ'rs in '01. Thanks for the support.

Rook

I hope most of you folks at Pinncale know that although we have some tools at Mesaba (the whole 'my football team is better than your football team' attitude), most XJers like and fully support our 9E brothers. You guys can count on a lot of support from us. I, for one, will be walking the line with you guys when the time comes and so will a lot of others.

 

[Detroitpilot22]

ok now we are talking about strikes, can someone let me know when this is going to happen, should i bring a picket sign to the interview?

Dove tailingoff of Monster Buck and Rook,



Control Freaks, I mean pilots, have big ego's. And when management dangles that carrot and says we need this from the the pilots and that from the pilots in order to get a second certificate, or more planes.... Pilots are more than willing to dupe themselves into thinking it is thier repsonsibility to get that new certificate or more jets....

Rule #1. Air Line Pilots do not run airlines!!

The snake oil salesman, I mean management, will sell the pilots what they want to hear....

Well, there are suckers born every second........ get too many of them and they just might be a pilot group.

If a pilot thinks that management really needs the pilots to execute thier business plan, especially with NWA calling all the shots, he's still on probation, or still has his temp certificate with his first and only type rating.

Welcome to labor relations kid.......

Learned well you did the lessons of corpex...
guess what?

We're getting another SAAB story! For more
unprofitable EAS markets!

Some things never change...

Good luck guys and gals, you'll really need it.
Heed you my young apprentice the lessons of
those that have gone before...powerful and
seductive is the call of the Dark Side...

Stay out of the frelling Blue Kool-aide!


hehehe...

Any strike would be at least 2 years from now. Certainly nothing to be concerned about right now. You'll be long off probation before a strike vote is even taken.

Chipilot,

There are certianly operations out there with better contracts (pay and work rules).

Consider CoEX or Mesaba....

interview prep

Although im sure it would help out in the interview, that mempilotinterview.com place is charging 500 for prep!!!!!!!

No thanks

 

[bigbenno]

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hoodabundy]

Benno - the class that is currently running, everyone got sent to MSP or DTW. MEM is closed, probably for awhile. You will get your first pick as long as its not MEM. Some guys in both cities will go staight to the line. Maybe 2-3 will sit reserve, but not for long

 

[Lear70]

Stay away from MEM if you can... the lines there are so bad you don't want to go anywhere near it. I'm dreading the next three months of having to bid ten days off and HOPEFULLY stay off reserve... after being here for 4+ years.

Thanks Pinnacle Management... Great morale booster there.

 

[bigbenno]

well i guess its a good thing that i want DTW the eh?

OK chicagopilot22

If you dont want the prep then it is OK. It is a free country Just dont discourage the other hopefuls who want the help and may need the guidance to get this job

They only help folks who want jobs at Pinnacle and no other airline. That is their only bread and butter. It is a quality product which includes a simulator session and help with the interview itself and the written test. This test has eaten many a pilots lunch and dinner

If you dont get hired you get your money back

Sounds like a no brainer to me
And yes they are at [email protected]

Best of luck to all of the hopefuls who would like to make aviation their career at any airline of their choosing

I guess the "paying for a job" concept isn't dead at Pinnacle after all.

500 bucks.....YGTBFSM

MANITOBA

So they are not pilots for the company then? As I understand my bread and butter is my paycheck. This is gravy on top of the bread and butter. I know times can be tough and we need to be paid more, how about putting the energy in to union and not taking it from guys who will only get paid $200/week with no hotel and no per diem.

The interview is harder to get more qualified applicants. The oxymoron to this is the qualified applicants have already found other jobs.

This prep does not provide us with better quailifed people, it is just helping people pass a test.

I got to admit though, a creative way to pad the bottom line...
