----------------------------------The Pinnacle Airlines story of growth and success received another boost in late
April with the announcement that it will expand into the CRJ-900 market with a
new partnership with Delta Air Lines to complement our extensive relationship with
Northwest Airlines, for which we currently operate 132 CRJ-200 regional jets. By
the summer of 2008, Pinnacle will be operating 133 regional jets, serving more than
125 cities and flying more than 800 daily flights.
In conjunction with growth plans, Pinnacle has enhanced its Pilot recruiting
incentives to attract top tier aviators who want to join the Pinnacle Proud team.
The outstanding package of financial, benefit and career development incentives - in
combination with Pinnacle’s outstanding corporate culture and commitment to
safety – add up to one overwhelming conclusion: choosing Pinnacle is the right
move for outstanding aviators.
New Incentives become effective with classes beginning in June.
• Increased training pay of $400 per week/$1600 per month, plus
company-paid hotel accommodations.
• $750 bonus after successful completion of OE.
• $500.00 bonus awarded after six months of continuous Pinnacle
service (current incentive in place).
• Optional Health insurance program with coverage during training
offered by GoldenRule, a United Healthcare company that provides
basic medical coverage until company benefits take effect after OE
check ride and 90 days of formal employment. (More information is
available at goldenrule.com.)
• New preferential pilot interview agreement with Delta. :erm:
• Non-revenue passes available for personal travel during any extended
break while in training.
• Crew bases in only three cities – Detroit, Memphis and Minneapolis-
St. Paul – all with reasonable costs of living.
• Two ways to expedite promotion from First Officer to Captain in as
little as 16-18 months
o Beginning in July 2007, new Captain mentoring program
allows for Captain upgrade after 2000 flight hours (including
1500 hours in a Pinnacle CRJ)
o Revised Captain upgrade standards, with a minimum of 3500
total flight hours or 2500 hours in a RJ in combination with
1000 hours in a Pinnacle CRJ.
• Outstanding suite of company health, retirement and travel benefits
for all employees.
