Anyone with Pinnacle info?

[blade230]

We are not the only airline that is currently, or has in the past, hired low timers. In fact just about every single regional has previously, or is hiring low timers. When I was at college not more than 5 years ago, the AVERAGE time guys were going into RJ's outa our school with was 500-800 TT. That is an average. Some had 250 TT, some had more.

In Europe and Asia, hence half or more of the world, low timers skip the whole flight instructing and or night cargo thing, AND the RJ THING, and are straight into medium jets ie A320s and B737s, if not bigger.

This argument of low timers at Pinnacle is a load of shet. It happens everywhere,
will continue to happen everywhere, whether you, me, or anybody else agrees with it or not.

Take care,

Hey blade230 blow it a little more out proportion. I'll i said was this there are alot of deserving pilots out there that deserve the job just as much. I know a few 3000hr 7000hr capts that didn't get it. It sucks that these 500 hr pilots are getting the job over them. But lets think about the real factor and sure this has been brought up somewhere on this site before. FO program went up 10K in one year the one and only reason why is because Pinnacle ismaking an A$$ load of money of every GIA guy they hire. I'll take a guess and say its to the tune of 10K. Is PFT worth it I'll have to go with yeah probably. If your willing to work for the crappiest regional out there.

Mabye those 3000-7000 hour pilots botched the interview, or are just complete jackasses...are they still "deserving" over a 500 hour guy that nailed the interview and test?

I swear to god theese threads take about 2 years off my life every time I read them.... I really stopped participating in the banter on theese threads because nobody has said anything NEW in 2 bloody years! I give it 1 day before Bobbysamd checks in with a "Why PFT is Bad" post on a thread about PCL New Hire questions....

GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!!

T-gates so true about bobby pretty funny. But those 3000 7000 Capts might have botched the test or the interview, You have to admit though when you get a hold of one those tests that Pinncale gives you before they actually administer them at the interview, gives you a bit of an advantage, an advantage that GIA people have. Think pinnacle is aware of it Mmmmmh? At least thats the what I hear . Any Gulfstream people care to comment.

Somebody else said this a while ago on another thread, but I will re-say it. Line up and weight, you obviously have no college education, or at least none in buissness. Any Public company, which Pinnacle is I may add, must by LAW, disclose all sources of income. I have seen personally, as have many others, the financials on Pinnacle and many other airlines for that matter, as it is public knowledge.

Guess what, no profits or moneys earned on training, or recruitment.

Everybody has access to all the questions and answers asked on the Pinnacle written test before the interview. ITS CALLED THE FAA COMMERCIAL WRITTEN TEST PREP. All you have to do is get off your lazy a$$ and study it. Seeing is that these 3000-7000 captains are currently unemployed they should be able to fit it into their schedule.

Searching, you are unreal do you actually think something like this is spread around and talked about. Let's think outside the box and in the real world for a minute, do you think all business is on the up and up maybe in your make believe la la land world, and listen pal I've I great degree from an excellent university.

Doin Time, slow down an reread the last thing I posted and you'll understand exactly what i said I don't think I can be any clearer
let me say it again. THE EXACT TEST THAT PINNACLE GIVES IN THE INTERVIEW IS AVAILABLE TO THE GULFSTREAM FOLKS AND ADVANTAGE FOR THEM WOULD YOU NOT AGREE, I BELIEVE THAT NARROWS DOWN HUNDREDS OF QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO STUDY FROM THE COMM INST AND ATP BOOKS.

Interesting comment.. Interesting response to it...
What do you think is the "bust" rate on the written? How about 5-10% (1-2 per interview group).

Most of the peep's bust on the group or 1 on 1 interview. You get in front of a HR person and line pilot and can't answer some techincal questions or have skeleton's in your closet and it does not matter if you scored a 100 on the test.

Don't win over on the 1 on 1 interviewer and you walk out and get a letter in the mail a few weeks later. Again, it does not matter how well you score on the test.

The test is just ONE part of the process and that is all it is.

A better statement would be.. how many GIA people are turned away? 15-25%.. and it did not matter IF they had the test before hand. I think we average 50% of all interviewed are offered a position. The other 50% are a mix of GIA, peep's off the street which may include those guys with 3000-5000 hours...

Lineup&weight,

I know many Gulfstream guys, and I can tell you none of them had the INTERVIEW test. I know this because 2 of them failed it the first time around. Had to wait a year to re-interview, just like everyone else.

Why don't you tell your "high and mighty" high time captain friends to study a little harder next time. PFT or not. And try to stop attempting to insult people. Someone with a "great degree from an excellent university" shouldn't have to.

 

[Lineup&wt]

Hey guys everything on the table can I forward a resume to one of you to walk in, for a possible interview?

Gee, that's amazing to hear that a PFTer has a better pass rate than 600 hr wonder CFI, the result is the same, an accident waiting to happen. Oh wait, they are happening.

You spineless little jackass..... Aren't you all high and mighty with your 825 hours!

Someone needs to get some Preperation H and ban this dweeb......

For that last comment, I wish you a lifetime of pain and suffering, furloughs and terminations, and please God may you be sterile, because we certainly need less of you around.

Good men have died. T-Gates has it right, you "spineless little jack*ss", you better not work for us and if you do, you'd better not own up to it 'cause I'll make sure your next several evals send you packing to whence you came.
