Pinnacle/Gulfstream

[sewerpiper]

Well I just found out how the gulfstream deal went down at good ole' Pinnacle. You pinnacle pilots know a Buddy Casey? I bet you do. Guess what, former CEO of gulfstream. Hmm wonder how the deal got started now?

Pinnacle was hiring ex-Gulfstream guys long before Buddy Casey joined the wonderful Pinnacle management team.

Buddy got fired from Gulfstream last Spring I believe.

Buddy was let go from Gulfstream. He was brought in from Express One to be a management negotiatior when the GIA pilots negotiated thier contract in Early '02. When that was over he served as COO until late that year, when he was let go. As far as I know he got the job at Pinnacle on his own. The GIA/Pinnacle Orgy started long before BC ever made a presence in the PCL training department.

One thing you'll learn at PCL is that everyone has thier own idea about how the PCL/GIA shiznit went down. Some still believe that all GIA pilots at Pinnacle paid to be there, some believe that PCL is taking kickbacks to hire GIA pilots... Who knows. What PT and TC do is thier own f'ing buisness. There is plenty of off the street hiring going on in Memphis from the Cargo Pilot/CFI ranks.

Do any current PCL pilots think that PCL management would put Tab pilots in the same category as Gulfstream pilots as far as trying to get an interview? Afterall we both have BE-1900 time.

No, but on a positive note, I hear Delta takes fondy to Tab Express pilots... er... Graduates....

Why don't you fire one off over to them?

TabExpressF/O,

When have you logged any time in the 1900? As far as I know, no student at Tab has logged any time yet as the planes are sitting on the tarmac while Tab waits for the airline's operating certificate from the FAA.

...and you logged that time?

Since you seem to have your Comm rating what are you doing now? The reason I ask is because the airline is not operating yet, so what do the students do in the mean time? Also, when is the airline or whatever it is ?????? supposed to start flying? I read on their website some time ago that it was supposed to be Nov 1, 2003. And what year and month are we in now?
