Gulfstream Grads. at Pinnacle??

[ChadCRJ]

Does anyone know how the Gulfstream Academy grads. are doing at Pinnacle Airlines?? I know a bunch of them got hired and continue to get hired with as little as 500hrs total time. Do the regular Pinnacle captains like flying with there guys?? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Pinnacle has been very happy with their Gulfstream pilots, since May about 50 pilots have been hired. Out of the 50 or so pilots only 3 (i think) did'nt make it. If my numbers are right that's about a 6% failure rate. That is a marked improvement over their failure rate of close to 50% before they started to hire the Gulfstream people.

Speaking with their CP Terry Mefford and some of the senior training captains will tell you how happy they are with their Gulfstream people, in fact their is talk of going back down to FLL for another round of interviews.
