I'm an ex-linker, or pinnacle pitiful pilot, or whatever they are called now. I have to say, honestly, that going to that company, even in today's economic market and pilot surplus, is ludicrious. The company treats pilots VERY poorly, the contract is VERY weak, and upgrade will take a longer time than they will tell you in the interview. DO NOT listen to their estimates on upgrade at the interview. You will get a better idea of what it is like here on this board than from K.M. or S.G. or any captain they happen to bring in to do the interview. There are some pretty nice guys there, it's a shame really. The good news is that there are some fairly vocal individuals that are trying to boost up the union and get it more active, but for the most part, most pilots are sitting quietly waiting for the contract to expire so they can go on strike. I think it's going to be a bloody war in 2005. They don't take care of you at all there, once you pass the ride you go on the payroll for about 1300 a month, and expect to sit reserve for awhile in DTW or MSP. It's a brutal medieval version of most commuters, using the same principles that many air carriers did away with years ago (i.e., continuous duty overnights, no duty rig, no trip rig, delays in posting the bid packages so that you can't plan your life, etc.) and the only thing you get is a nice glass cockpit and if you are a lineholder about 75 hours a month. Good luck. If I had to do it again I wouldn't.
