Pinnacle Pilots

[CL600Pilot]

So let's see here, if you got a good deal on a hotel at 50 dollars a night, for seven nights a week, for roughly six weeks, could be more. That gives you 2100 dollars out of pocket. I don't know about anyone else, but that is a little excessive especially when places will pay for your hotel, listen this isn't an argument, it is a prefrence, I prefer not to be a butt licking biatch, if you like to lick butt then go to pinnacle and waste your money, as for this thread i am done.

Or you can get a crashpad like everybody else for $150 a month.

Exactly! Everyone likes to point to some reason to bash PCL. This time its the hotel thing. Get the crash pad and pay your dues, and shortly, it will be worth it. Or don't and go somewhere else. Your decision.

To me, it was worth it, if its not to you, then good luck.

I think we need to set the record straight. Before you bash PCL for not paying for hotel during training, please post what your company pays you during training, i.e. wage or stipend, pay for hotel?? Then we can start making some comparison.


Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe not all regionals will pay for the hotel of their new hire for the whole duration of the training, which lasts from 6-8 weeks.

OK, Mesaba gives you a hotel room by yourself.

They give you a company ID first day of training

They start you out day one with 75 hour pay garantee

The only thing you do not get is Per Diem.

Don't forget CVG............. dang that sucks

with no id, does that mean you can't travel lets say to go home until training is over?

That's correct. I hope you like MEM.

everybody knows that in this industry you need to sacrafice a little... and paying for a hotel is one of them, and if you cant stand paying for a hotel for a while, your pathetic. You have to start at the botttom to get to the top no matter where you go, and at some places it will be paying for a hotel, and other places it could be something else. Suck it up and get over it

Sorry...but it is those attitudes and beliefs that have caused this one honorable profession to descend into disgrace.

The preponderance of pilots willing to pay for thier way into the seat has caused managements to exploit that desire to their advantage.

By the time you are qualified to fly at the regional level, the sacrifices should be done. You are no longer an "apprentice" in this profession.

I have worked at one regional and one major (used to be anyways) and both paid your hotel, per diem, salary (at guarantee), and issued ID's on day one of class.

Pilots need to believe in the inherent value of thier skills and stop subsidizing the faulty business plans of inept managements.
