Pinnacle New Hire Training Pay: THE BIG LIE

[TurboAWD]

Agreed. I think in this regard though, 9E may be a safer bet then most thanks to Pinnacle managements exceptionally $hitty attitude towards their employees. Their turnover rate is so high they've enjoyed a quick upgrade for nearly 3 years running now with no end in sight. Even when NW took planes back they were still upgrading.

Well, the upgrades stopped for a few months, the company even threatened to furlough if the pilots didn't give concessions. Of course, we didn't, and there were still no furloughs or displacements.

The upgrades might stop, however, if the company collapses under it's own stupidity.

If you have 500 hrs. pncl time, you still need 3,000 total. if you have 1000 pncl time it drops to 2500, and at 1500 pncl time it goes to 2000 total with the mentor program

 

[Kaman]

Mentor program? Is that kinda like the take your kid to work kinda thing? Pretty scary stuff y'all are dealing with...Good luck!

 

[Quack]

yeah tell me about it. some of these guys don't have anymore pic time than their crosscountry solos. wtf over?

Some people want Pinnacle because they live in/near DTW, MSP, or MEM, and do not want to commute to XJT or SKYW.

They don't realize they'd still be home more if they did commute to the likes of XJT, SKYW, or RAH.

 

[RP170]

Wouldn't XJ work just as well? And be a heck of a lot better company to boot?

No because then they might get stuck on the Saab. God forbid that ever happen.

 

[XJohXJ]

Yeah, nothing could be worse than those nice 80-90 credit hour 15-17 day off Saab lines. Heaven forbid!
