[h25b]

For what it's worth I have not heard anything incredibly positive about the operation. Ran in to a pair of their pilots a few weeks ago...

Flybet3: Name calling on the internet. How childish and unprofessional. So you wanted to check it out as a captain. I guess you didn't get your wish either. The CP's name is NOT Elton. I MAY be the DO who has your number.





But I'm NOT!

You can call me childish and unprofessional, but that doesnt change the fact the the DO is an unprofessional, arrogant fat f**** and that the CP has his head up the DOs a$$ so far....you previous posts about the company werent great and now look at you man, sticking up for a bunch of priks....and no I didnt check it out as a captain. I didnt get my wish either? dude not even close....I interviewed for an FO position a while but just by meeting the DO and talknig with the CP I knew that all the stories about that hell hole are all true!

Pinnacle Air is looking for pilots due to our growth. We have just added a Lr-31, CE-650 to our fleet and an 800XP is on the way. This is the reason that we have been advertising. We are also looking for some quality individuals to work here and unfortunately I have not found the type of pilots that I am looking for and this is the reason why we continue to advertise. The pay is good for the area, 35-37K for of FOs and 60-66K for our Cpts. The schedule on the Lr-60s is decent with 1/2 the month on the road and 1/2 off. The Lr-31 crews have been working a little harder due to the new plane but by the end of May we will have 2 Cps and 1 FO for each plane and they will be able to work out their own schedule amongst the three. Some of the postings say something about an asst. chief pilot that we don't have. I am the Chief Pilot and I have never offered to send paperwork to anywone that I did not hire. Our aircraft and the maintenance on our planes are impeccable. We do everything with regards to safety first and there has never been a time since I have been in my position that I have told a pilot to do something that they did not want to do or ask them to fly an aircraft with a squawk that could not be deferred. Yes we have been going through some growing pains but our aircraft, facilities, and people that we have now our second-to-none.

DUDE!!! why do you keep copying and pasting the same BS on every post....hey everyone do a search on Pinnacle Air, you will see that this dope has been posting the same BULL for months.

60,000 for a captain on a 60... Thats sick.

I make 95,000 and Im home all but about 5 days a month. Oh, getting a raise next month too.

there you go.... yeahh...you're not Pinnacle Air services material.
If you ask for a raise at pinnacle air, the fat a$$ DO will probably fire you while the CP crawls out of his a$$.

Do you fly for these guys

$60K is low, but not terrible. I think industry average is somewhere around $70-$75K. Ask for more. If they don't give it to ya, f-ck 'em. Of course, I don't think I could work for that a$$hole DO anyway. I've spoken to him also about a job there over the phone. That guy is a D-CK. I wouldn't work there for anything.

But it's good for NW Arkansas. He said it himself. Heck, making $60K a year there will buy you 100 acres and a nice tractor, and the girl with three teeth and the 1980's big hair will be falling all over herself to get her hands on a rich pile-it.

Not really!! 60K is nothing in NWAR. Lets see here....NW AR is one of the richest areas per capita in the US. Sounds like you need to put your foot where your mouth is or get some more information before spitting out BS!!

 

[pullmyfinger]

Its a hell of a lot cheaper where I live... there are some flight departments that pay a pilot for what he is worth.

How much would someone pay for a captain of a 5-6 million dollar yacht?

How much does one pay for an accountant to manage a million dollar business?

You get what you pay for.

MVSW,

Note the . I was being sarcastic. I fly into ROG frequently as my company does business with the Devil's spawn (Sam's). I know it's a pricey area.

Just moved from there and I can tell you that 60K is doesn't go nearly as far there as in most other parts of Arkansas. Property values there are skyrocketing, the traffic there is worse than in many metro areas, and I don't think you can purchase a decent home anywhere in Bentonville for under $110/sq. ft.

And yes, 60K for a Learjet 60 Capt. is pathetic, PERIOD... Even for Arkansas and especially for NW Arkansas.

I can tell that you guys are not from Arkansas. FYI..I have lived in Arkansas for 24 years and the only nice place to live in Arkansas is NW, Central, and NE ARkansas. Everywhere else is a DUMP. I will get off my soapbox now. Its just makes me very upset when people bash AR and acts like everyone here is poor, never wear shoes, have not teeth!! I want to know where the heck everyone comes up with this crap! Take care

I used to get upset when I was based in EWR with the airlines and people would bash my home state of Alabama. Then I realized it's better that people think we are a bunch of stupid hicks. That way you keep more of the yankees out.
