And a Pinnacle ID.... I'll bet it hurts doesn't it?

LOL! I still remmeber his posts about never having Pinnacle on his resume and ripping on Pinnacle. How quickly the trap gets shut when there is NO choice.

I thought you were a MSP guy? Are you now gonna commute to DTW? I feel bad for anyone on that commute. Very hard, and many times the best option is to two-leg it through Green Bay, Appleton, MKE.

I would think MDW would be a better choice. Lots of Southwest flight between MSP - MDW - DTW.

One of the truest things ever said on FI.com.

There isn't a lot of accountability in either training dept. At my airline within Pinnacolaba, when one hears of another failing a sim event, the same Instructor names keep coming up. Where's the standardization in that? The mgmt sides of our training & standards departments don't get it.

There is accountability. Perhaps you need to be accountable for posting inaccurate information. 5 out of 11 isnt correct or even close. Call someone who has the facts and they will tell you. I can assure you the success of the pilots training is very important to the people in Training and Standards. I suggest you call the CRJ Program Manager or Manager of Flight Standards and offer your personal advice.
In fact the failure rates for Captains was printed in the last Flight Standards Newsletter that I read online.
Ill say it for every pilot. There is no one to blame when someone doesnt study and wants to be spoon fed.

I can't wait until SEVEN and Flyer are paired up together! I can only imagine how many different reports will have to be filled on those flights.

 

[MACH-TUCK]

Yes. :crying:

Are you crying because you were able to keep your job and seat??

Nope. I've been watching the stock, and it made a jump up. It was hanging around $1

Probably tears of joy because Pinnacle help him keep his seat.

 

[Flyer1015]

Lol!!

 

[Captainzero1]

When are they going to delist your stock, hasn't it been under $1:00 more than 30 days?

Latest memo has mentioned that the Q400 pro rate contract does not pay enough to cover expenses for the Q operation. The same with the Colgan Saab fleet, and those kinds of losses are "unsustainable." Make no mistake, the bankruptcy will happen. Our worse case scenario is parking the Saabs and the Qs. No pilot shortage will cover those losses, we will then furlough.
