Pinnacle

[F16fixer]

Has anyone heard from Pinnacle lately? I've been trying to get an interview, and was just wondering if people have been getting called from them. They seemed like they were hiring like mad for awhile.

 

[1900dr]

I've submitted my resume too about 3 weeks ago. Still waiting

 

[F16fixer]

good I don't feel left out!

 

[F16fixer]

Did you see the new gouge with the guy complaining about the weather test on aviation interviews . com. I guess I better study up some more on my weather or maybe he just couldn't hack it. I wonder if they are revamping their interview process. That would be my luck.

 

[WateryGrave]

Might want to study high altitude aerodynamics..... I hear they are big on that.

 

[Detroitpilot22]

I would submit your stuff again, sometimes they can't keep up and it might have got lost in the shuffle.

Well when did you get the interview, if you don't mind me asking?

I was supposed to have the interview last month but i didnt even have my passport or atp written complete so they gave me the june dates to pick from so i picked the last date in july to interview so i could get my passport and take the written.

 

[CallmeJB]

That sounds like good ole times. How's that Gleim treating you?

 

[Jeff775621]

just fine, took the written the first time and passed it with an 80%

 

[rk772]

80%, Did you study?

 

[F16fixer]

Thanks
I guess if I don't here from them in a couple of weeks, I'll just wait longer!!

 

[Jeff775621]

80%, Did you study?

Yes i studied, is an 80% not good enough for you?

 

[Dep676]

Yes i studied, is an 80% not good enough for you?

That's 10% more than you need according to the feds. Once you have your ticket who cares what your test score was.

 

[Jeff775621]

i was being sarcastic

 

[rk772]

Yes i studied, is an 80% not good enough for you?

I guess it'll do.

Just kidding, I probably made the same. I can't remember.

Might want to study high altitude aerodynamics..... I hear they are big on that.

You know where I could find some good information to study with all that ?

 

[bsudbury]

They are HUGE on high speed aerodynamics. Study hard,it is a tough interview.

Who gives a rat's, I want a larger picture of BCPilot99's avatar...

Hourbuilder, evidently you don't remember that particular pilot's predicament down south of the border. Notice the middle finger, got him in a lot of hot water for a while. I still love the picture, I think of it every time I have to get secondary screened by TSA for my damn hotel pen I forgot was in my pocket.

On topic, I find it amusing how hard PCL's interview process has become in comparison to the sheer number of people they are losing - you'd think they might be a little less picky. D*mn PCL interview is harder than any of the majors I interviewed for along the way... Pretty stupid, but them's the breaks.

Reserve Period 0400-1600.

O400? Ouch!

I think that picture was in Brazil, if I remember correctly. So did this guy end up getting in much trouble, or was he able to clear everything up?

 

[Lear70]

He was an American Airlines captain down in South America somewhere right about the time the U.S. started a program here in the U.S. for everyone coming through customs if they weren't U.S. Citizens.

The U.S. would make up cards with serial numbers on them and make foreign nationals visiting stop and have their picture taken with it, like a police line-up or a mug shot. The foreign governments didn't appreciate it very much, so they instituted a similar deal in THEIR country, JUST for U.S. citizens. Including the crew.

This "cheeky fellow" decided to add his idea of "keeping up foreign relations" (TG) to his number he was given in his picture. He was thrown in jail for several weeks in South America for his trouble. I think the airline didn't discipline him, figuring he'd learned his lesson about stirring the pot in a foreign country where our laws of "innocent until proven guilty" don't really apply and the penal system isn't as pleasant.

Still makes for a funny picture, though.
