Maybe April or May, but kinda depends on how the Colgan Alpa Union vote ends on Dec. 17. If approved, the seniority list will be integrated into one. Then not really sure If they will hire.

Hi!

So, you're saying if the Colgan guys vote ALPA in, then PCL and Colgan will merge their pilot groups?

Are the two groups working on SLI already?

Found this:

Pinnacle has over 60 people in their "interview pool", but they have confirmed that over 30 of the people in the pool have found employment elsewhere.
The first round of interviews will take place the first and second week of January, 2009.
There was no official forecast of the number of pilots who will be hired, but we are told that they will have a "large demand for pilots" beginning in January.
They will be using those pilots to build up their base in ATL flying the CRJ-900.
They will also begin flying for Delta out of MSP in Minneapolis and will be building up that base also.

I have been told that this came from the ATP website. It has .00000000000000000000000001% chance of being accurate. Basically, take the opposite of what is posted above.

Since this came from Pinnacle management, it is probably a scare tactic designed to be leaked out and discourage yes votes at Colgan.

It may be true or false. It is up to the company. I have talked to enough of our union leadership to know that they will not allow an integration that that would overly harm Colgan pilots.
 
Here is the latest right out of the training department...unless PCL's total block hours improve over 2008, we are projecting a surplus of around 100 pilots. Mgmt has been crunching the numbers on a furlough and, right now, it is a toss-up after costing displacement expenses.

Training Dept is scrambling to keep from laying off about 13 non-seniority list instructors who have zero to do. They are being given "make work" projects just trying to keep from losing them.

At current rates of attrition, almost zero, we will not be hiring until late 2009, if then. We will be lucky to avoid about 80 furloughs.

Look elsewhere.
