Pinnacle Air Services

I do not believe so, but can not confirm anything there maybe some news yea or nae by the 1st of July. In the mean time buisness as usual.

Mr. Hunt is 1 of 4 members in the "Pinnacle Group", that is a team of investors in NW Arkansas, and Pinnacle Air is just one of their projects. I don't belive he has anything to do with the truck company anymore, maybe just attends the monthly board meetings. But the truck company and PA have nothing to do with eachothers. If you do a google search under pinnacle group, you can find a biography on all the members.

Being that Pinnacle doesn't fall under J.B. Hunt Inc. how are the bennies (retirement/401K if any, and Medical)? There's more to life than straight-up Salary!!

Oh yeah check this out.

There is a 401k company does not match and employ is eligible after one year, but at least it is something. The Medical is good it is a PPO not an HMO so no need for a primary doc just go to any one in the book pay your co pay of around 20 dollars. It is paid in full by company for employ there is a charge for dependent. I think it is the same for the dental and I have heard we are working on vision.

4 Rich dudes running the show and no matching on the 401k? That won't fly for too long. If they ever want to be a serious company they have to provide serious bennies.

Mickey Mouse compensation = Mickey Mouse company!!!

This sucks for JetRide pilots, assuming we are completly bought out by Pinnacle. We currently have 401(k) matching $0.50 on the dollar, three healthcare plans to choose from, dental, and vision. 401(k) can be started 60 days after employment. Maybe, we will keep our bennies and Pinnacle's bennies will improve. How can they not have vision coverage for employees who depend on their vision to keep their jobs?!

The 401K sucks, but the health plan is better. Yes there is only one, but it is still better than the three that we have to choose from. As far as vision goes, come on man, you havent memorized the eye chart yet?

Did we mention that the health is paid for 100%. Maybe with 80+ pilots we could talk them into a better 401K. Personaly I would like to have a loss of liscensce insurance.

401(K) is changing. Got a note from HR the other day. Still waiting to see the info. Vision goes up in July.

 

[TennLear60]

July marks some changes according to HR. We will have company contributions to our 401k. I do not know what percentage it will be. I do not know if new hires will get it at hire date or not. Vision is coming in July. Long term and short term disabillity is coming as well. Open enrollment should come this week or next. That's all I know from HR.

 

[starcheckdriver]

Sounds like things are on the up and up there. Good to hear!
