Now that I've quoted your post, it is forever saved in the annals of flightinfo.

A year from now, come back and read this, and tell us what you think.

(Now with a straight line like that, if I don't get at least a dozen jokes, then something's wrong!)

I congratulated him on his job. My intentions aren't to be a tool, but its irritating to see these people who don't want to hear the negative parts of a company prior to going to work there. Then when they are there for a year they start bitching about how bad it sucks. Do your homework, learn where the good places and bad places are to work. I did, and I am quite content with where I work. Don't have such a naive "I just want to fly a jet and I don't care who its for" attitude. That is my only point, take it for what its worth.

You've heard it before - 9E's growth is over for a while! That is unless they roll over in their contract negotiations......I wonder...................??????????????

Congrats on coming to work for Pinnacle. I personally enjoy working here though there are some problems (like every company). The hiring rate here is not because of growth it's because of attrition. Well growth does factor, but its the previous amount of growth that we didn't staff for. Lines come fairly fast in DTW so if thats where you'll be based you shouldn't have to worry about being on reserve too long.

Are people still leaving on a mothly basis? Thats great if they are. I left in Dec 04 and there were a few that were interviewing at UPS/FEDEX/SWA...Good luck there. The job is what you make of it. I actually really enjoyed my time at Pinnacle and I can only hope the guys there truly get a good contract....
