Pinnacle bonuses change AGAIN

[bluefishbeagle]

In reality the only thing you can do is tell them at your exit interview (if they even have one) that the fact they they renegged on the incentives is the specific reason why you're moving on.

May I respectfully say that you don't get the picture? They (any lowlife regional) don't care if you move on, they want you to move on, when you tell them you're moving on for xxxxxx reason they think, "Great our strategy is working." You are just making room for another bottom of the pay scale pilot who wants to build time and live the dream. By the time new pilots realize they can’t eat those big shinny jets and that 1000 hours PIC will only buy them a cup of coffee it's to late, the cycle then passes to the next starry eyed new hire.

There must be a pilot gene that blocks out common sense when it comes to viewing their time and life as an expendable commodity worth just compensation from the first day of training through retirement. (And yes retirement rushes up very fast gents)

They must be starting to hurt for pilots because they called me out of the blue to set up an interview. I never applied though, they got my name off climbto350. I declined.

Heard there was a vacancy for 89 FO's on the latest bid.

Sit back and watch the implosion!

Nonconnah has a bad contract from 1999. Very bad pay for the first two years. NOT paying bonuses or anything else that is promised, when others are paying.

What good reason would a pilot have to come to Pinnacle?

Bueller? Bueller?

What good reason would a pilot have to come to Pinnacle?

The only good reason... a specific base (home-based).

Anyone who comes to Pinnacle right now to be a $21/hour FO has to be out of his mind. Practically every regional in the country is panting for qualified pilots. If you have the time, you might be able to upgrade quickly, but, from what I have seen, most of the new hires are low timers.

Spend your first three in the airline industry with an outfit that pays better and has better work rules than this dump. The list of companies better than Pinnacle is pretty long.
