Is it true about Pinnacle????

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

Was engaged in conversation by an elderly gentleman (80ish) during a DH to LFT from MEM and the jist of the conversation was how when he was young a Grayhound driver was considered a very desirable occupation-you wore a suit and tie, responsible for many lives, and good pay and how the job is now considerably diminished. He then made the connection to pilots and the current declining status of our occupation.

I know of at least 3 people at XJ with retired parents at NWA who got hired in the 60's with a lot less time than the current regional average. The point of this comment is that the 60's are when NWA got known as the cobra airline (will strike if provoked). hopefully as the pilot pool dries up we can make this into a desirable occupation again.

9E pilots we at XJ suport you 100%- give em hell!
