Pinnacle training

[Way2Broke]

Not like it will work, but I say we start posting everywhere we can that people should not apply to Pinnacle. Boycott Pinnacle!!!!!!! I want a regional job really bad, but I am not applying to pinnacle. Who has good ideas on how to get the boycott started?

Darn straight!

Terry is certainly not as great as you make him out to be. Terry has fired dozens of probationary FOs for very questionable reasons. Being a probie at this company is a very frightening experience nowdays because of Terry. How many first year FOs come to work sick as a dog because they're afraid of being fired? How many first year FOs refuse to speak up to Captains that are doing some very dumb (and very dangerous) things because they are afraid that Terry will fire them over one of those ridiculous probie eval forms? I've talked to lots of first year FOs that worry about this stuff all the time. It wasn't as bad when you and I were probies, but it's different for these guys now. Most of that is because of our CP as far as I'm concerned. Barney isn't doing the firing, Terry is.

Thank you!! you guys might say Terry sticks up for the Pilots. But it must be for his buddies, or for guys that are willing to on their knees and suck his D*** for that piece of crap job! I know what I am talking about! As a new FO when I was there I had requested a leave b/c my mother had a stroke and was in a coma back home and according to mr. Terry I had to give him a better explanation as to why I need a FULL month to be with my sick mother....after explaining to him all this, I still had to go back another day with a union rep and expected me to beg for my job! for that reason I got up, threw my wings and IDs at him, told him to go F*** himself....what a total TOOL!

You've got my vote!!!! I really dont wish Pinnacle on anyone!
Good Pilot group, made alot of friends there. But management has not respect for Pilots and Terry is waaaaaayyy overrated by his BIT**ES!

I wish I could have seen his face when you threw your stuff at him and stormed out. Not too many guys that have the balls to walk out on an airline. You da man!

It was actually kinda funny, at first while he behind his desk with his "I'm God" face, I kept my cool and kept telling him "Terry, I'm sorry but I really need to go home and be by my mother for the next couple of weeks" and all I kept getting back from his was "weeeellllll, I just dont think we can let you go for a full month"
So I said a bit angry "well, I need a month and I'm going to take that month, if my mother wakes up in a week I'll be back Terry" and he replied "Well if you take longer than we allow you than I'm gonna have to let you go, we have other candidates that really want this"..........That's when I lost it! I looked at him for about 10 sec, everyone was quite, I stood up slowly, took my wings of, took my ID of my neck threw it at him and said "I dont need this! nor do I deserve this, so FU*K YOU!" I turned around walked out, slamed the door, walked back opened up the door squeezed my head in and said "I NEED SOMEONE TO ESCORT ME UP!!!" he had this "I cant believe what just happened here" face---------------TRUE STORY, NO BS

Yep, probably putting my stuff in around June/July hoping for an August class. I've had the seniority for a couple of years, but I needed the 3000 total. I should have that by the end of May or so.
