LOL! Pinnacle's entry on Wikipedia...

Methinks this had to be written by a pilot!

Check this part out:

Part of the new ASA included a clause that if Pinnacle management and ALPA do not agree on a new pilot contract by March 31 2007, then Northwest can remove up to 17 CRJs from Pinnacle's fleet. Since this deadline passed with no new pilot contract, Northwest is exercising their right to remove 17 CRJs from Pinnacle, starting in September at a rate of two CRJs per month. These 17 CRJs will be removed from Pinnacle and handed over to Mesaba Airlines, which illustrates the classic "by-the-book" whipsaw treatment of Pinnacle and Mesaba, in which one pilot group is pitted against another for growth/airplanes. It is just one of Northwest management's many dirty tricks to get the Pinnacle pilot group to sign a concessionary contract. Fortunately, the Pinnacle pilot group will not cave in to management's ridiculous (and insulting) demands.

Very well said! I wonder what management thinks when they read that...

I saw something on their wikipedia page awhile back basically saying their motto is safety first as long as it's not too expensive. Someone removed it a few days later. This paragraph will probably get removed too.

Anyone else notice Pinnacle just upped their training pay again? $400/week + some bonuses.

And a new referral program:

I wonder if folks in the May 30th class will start at $400/week. The letter says "Effective in June".

So you take a pay cut when training is over and you hit the line?

Seems like it. Just talked to a buddy of mine that is a reserve FO at Pinnacle. He's making ~$1500/mo.
