Want To work at PINNACLE??

[blackbox]

2000 hour Jet Airliner captains.

Well...............there goes the neighborhood.

Peanuckle will never make it long-term. They're going to have another bad crash (this time with pax) with those experience levels. It's not if, but when and then the Feds will have to step in and ultimately they'll shrink or shut down.

If these are the experience levels of Peanuckle captains, look for me at the Hertz counter.

Expressjet only requires ATP mins, which is 1500 to upgrade......

 

[GOULET!]

No thanks to Pinnacle...if I was going to go anywhere near the red tail Id get a street captain position at Compass who will eventually steal Pinnacle's flying anyways.

 

[FlyingGuy]

What if you come to PNCL with 2500TT and 1500ME and 500 Turbine with 1500 hours in a CRJ from another operator? Does this qualify you to bid on a Captain vacancy?

Thanks?

You won't see it in writing but if you've got the CRJ time you will likely be able to upgrade right after completing FO IOE.

How bad is staffing over at PCL and what are their hirng projections for the remainder ofthe year?

Wasn't there an article recently about a lot of flights beign cancelled?

For what its worth, I interviewed there three years ago, had an offer, went with another company. They called me Friday asking if I was interested. I have had no contact with them since I turned down the offer three years ago. So I guess if they are "cold calling" people for slots its pretty bad...

"Say vahat if its time to unpimp zee auto..."

Hi!

They only hire FOs. HOWEVER, once you're hired, you can bid the next day.

Guys with the hours have been getting the capt bid award during indoc.

I DO think they now pay for or provide housing.

Their new info on their website states that Pinnacle new-hires have "preferential" treatment to get a Delta interview.

I'll go as a Captain. Here are my terms:

Minimum 15 days off per month. Eleven of twelve months per year must have at least 18 days off.

Those pay rates in the contract...well you'll need to compensate me at 1 1/2 times those rates...with C.O.L.A. at C.P.I + at least .5% for the next ten years.

That's for starters...perhaps I'll have additional needs I'll add later.

Isn't Pinnacle currently in contract negotiations? Make the company recognize your value, guys and girls.

 

[Dumb Pilot]

Good luck getting your refferal money, I recommended several folks that are working there now. Anyday now my money is comming, anyday now

 

[DX Rick]

Okay, I'll ask the question then.

How much "Pinnacle Credit" is required? Let's say you already meet the company minimums but don't have enough total time to qualify for a street captain position. How long would you have to fly for Pinnacle to upgrade?

Drew, you're not thinking about it, are you?

How much does first year captain get paid?

I got a cold call from them too. I was there for a few ... err quite a few months (trying to be a street Capt at the time, furloughed from Independence) in 2005 until I resigned to go to greener pastures... anyway, I got a call from recruiting the other day noting that I had "previously applied" (yeah I worked there and resigned for crying out loud) and would I be interested. So they are indeed looking for anyone with a pulse if they are digging up names from previous applications.

PCL lost over 30 pilots last month, which has been the average for months now. Thankfully, I was one of the ones that finally escaped. Virtually no one has been giving them two weeks notice. I don't know how they're going to staff the airline.

 

[atpcliff]

Hi!

But, luckily for them, they've got MORE planes bound for DAL they need to staff.

Who will have priority, DAL or NWA? Or will they just cancel flights on a 50/50 ratio?

Raising pay 40% across the board would help.

Just a suggestion to mgmt.

Finally some leverage to negotiate a decent QOL and pay at the regional level. Better do it now, the majors won't be hiring forever, some of these 250 TT wonders will soon realize, esp. after the age 65 deal goes down, that this career may still yet require some patience and leg work.

Before they start paying fools to take our jobs, oops, they already are paying people to take a job, ALPA has got to centralize and let student pilots know about the goings ons of the airline business.

There is no sure bet airline, but at least now it seems that there is a lack enough of pilots that conditions can be changed to make this proffesion livable again.

 

[JonnyKnoxville]

Pinnacle is offering its pilots $1000.00 for any pilot that we find if they get hired and can pass IOE. So I am trying to make some extra cash!! If anyone wants a Interview send me a PM and i will get your resume in! There is a 0 Month upgrade time right now!!! All CRJ fleet. All FO's in training get $400.00 a week plus paid hotel!!

-Deadend
Bases : MSP,DTW,MEM with a new base coming soon for Delta flying

At Comair we get $500.00 for getting a friend to work at our company. We refer to the offer as: The Former Friends Program.

3500 TT
2000 ME
1000 Turbine

"Pinnacle Credit" lowers the upgrade mins to:

2500 TT
1500 ME
500 Turbine

With the new "Mentor Program", you need:

2000 TT
1500 ME
500 Turbine

OR:

If you within the last six months lived next door to a pilot:

50TT
10ME (does not have to be inflight)
Turbine time is waved if as a kid you once owned a pinwheel

Congrats on the escape...

Or you can stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

Some CA vacancies went unfilled last time. The longer FO's wait to upgrade the more pressure on mgmt. for a decent contract. Hang in there folk.

Congrats dude. your my hero

 

[federico]

Dude just out of curiosity with my time if I went to pinnicle would I hold Cap. after IOE

 

[Speedbird34]

yes during indoc day one

 

[Tram]

I'm not sure how PCL is going about letting people upgrade..

I thought somewhere you had to have X amount of PCL CL65 time in your book.. However, that doesn't appear to be the case..

 

[svcta]

it's all just a little too, shaky and "bait and switch"y for me.

 

[Cadillac]

You know your "hero" PCL128 went to gulfstream "airlines", right?



It sounds like there are an awful lot of hoejets guys on here looking to make the jump to street captain at an airline at which they can leave the jetway and get a snack in the terminal without being spit on.

 

[federico]

Pcl128 went to Airtran

 

[PCL_128]

Pcl128 went to Airtran

You ready to come back to the States, or are you having too much fun over there?

 

[federico]

Im ready dude.

 

[federico]

Any ideas
