I though pinnacle wasn't hiring lately.
Hi!
This is exactly what I've been talking about for the past couple of years. There IS a pilot shortage, of new start-up pilots to fill the bottom rungs in the industry.
I don't understand, at all, how Mgmt at Mesaba/Pinnacle/Comair/ASA, etc. think pay cuts for the pilots are a good idea. Where are they going to find new hires at these wages? I guess they can wait until the last minute, and then unilaterally raise wages, but by that time they'll be behind the power curve, and it'll take 3-5 years to straighten it out.
They've already lowered mins to the lowest possible level. The only thing left is to improve the job: More pay and/or more days off and/or better working conditions.
It'll be really, really interesting to see what happens in the next 5 years.
Will new hires be off the street captains at $110K/year like the Indian airlines are now paying???

PS-My airline mgmt also doesn't realize what's about to happen when they lose a ton of guys to the majors and have to replace them, either.

Next step is for airlines to hire 0 time non-pilots and train them ab initio.
Don't worry. Hiring mins haven't gotten as low as then can get yet. Next step is for airlines to hire 0 time non-pilots and train them ab initio.
