Pinnacle Pilot Requirements

[Flyer1015]

From their website:

NEW BONUS PROGRAM IN PLACE, WHICH INCLUDES:

• Paid Hotel While in Training

• $200.00 Weekly Allowance

• $500.00 Employee Referral Bonus

• $1,000.00 Sign-on Bonus

Also, now it says:

• 1000 hours total flight time (Preferred)
• 200 hours multi-engine time (Preferred)
• 100 hours instrument (max 20 hours simulator - Preferred)


What's with the "Preferred" ? Are they now having trouble finding people with 1000TT/200ME.

If so, what are the times of those people currently getting called for interviews?

Thanks for any responses.

anyone at Pinnacle want to make $500 by referring me??

When you have to bribe your employees to con their friends into working for your company, that should say volumes. How many other airlines are offering money to their employees for bringing in a pilot? Scary.

Has Pinnacle received all 139 CRJs ?

 

[threegreen]

yeah but you can nearly double your salary for the month!

I had a close friend get offered a job with under 1000 and 200.

We got all 139.... Attrition is running about 15+ a month with a 60/40 spilt between CA/FO's.

HR is selling 20 more jets in the near future (this was before BK announced), the $500 deal started a few months ago when recruitment stagnated.

Bottom line, upgrade will be in the years as now GIA guys/gals can upgrade with less than 250 PIC. New hires by the end of the year will be looking at reserve for a long time. BTW, we have a horrible reserve system.

I would have a hard time recommending this place to a friend, even an enemy.

So, do the GIA guys/gals have to pay for their upgrade too?
