Is it true about Pinnacle????

Is it true that pinnacle does not currently have any hiring mins? I looked at their website and it just says that everything is "preferred".

So according to their site all they require is Comm.MEL/INST?

In order to attact talent... wages will not be increased.... therefore we must lower mins...

Maybe some current PNCL folks can chime in, but the only wet Comm/Inst/ME people I've heard getting on with Pinnacle were bridge program students, like Jet U.

You are going to see more and more of this stuff. Good luck to all you captains! It is working it's way to every regional.

I heard Pinnacle is scouring the sheltered workshops for people that can count 100+ pencils per hour. Anything less than 100 pencils, their application is forwarded to Trans States. I hear Mesa is following suit. You have to have standards!

I spoke with a CA there and he said they're hiring some folks with 200 hrs.

Regional airlines and Greyhound are remarkably similar these days. Go Greyhound. It's cheaper and you don't have to screw with TSA.

Mesaba's mins: 600 total/50 ME

"Airline Transport Pilot certificate and type rating in company aircraft or commercial pilot certificate with multi-engine and instrument ratings."

The way this is written, if you have an ATP and NO type, you are not qualified. BUT if you have your newly issued temp CPL with IR, you're a-O-K?

Instead of flying a half hour it might be safer to rent a car and drive 2 hrs. Not to mention you'd get there on time and for less money.
