Pinnacle Fleet Projection Analysis
The numbers are run for Pinnacles fleet announcement. The following is a description of it.
Pinnacle Announcement Commentary
This is the fleet projection
Pinnacle Airlines Pilot Demand Profile
I believe the current seniority number is right but if someone has an update of the amount of Pilots on the property I will update it.
Its ironic that in most business's people are compensated more for unpredictability, while in the Pilot business the pilots with the highest level of job certainty are compensated the best. Its kind of a reversal of the whole risk/reward principle that most careers are run on, the Pilot industry is strange in that regard.
My condolences to the Pinnacle Pilots and their families hopefully the data is informative.
Note if Pinnacle announces additional flying with another carrier the current projections would change alot.

Good luck to all PCL pilots but why would they speculate about a flow through? Delta had their chance with Mesaba and Compass when they had an established flow thru process and ended that quickly even when they had control of hiring techniques?

But 90% will land jobs at XJT/ASA/SKY/RP/AE and would be better off in 2-4 years, then the 450 downgrades that will never be Captains again.. The top 450 will lock in those spots and not go anywere... Not to mention the total slap in the face of former Comair employes... The way i look at it is the above airlines will hire 2000 pilots over the next 1-3 years if it fails. If it passes they may only hire 500.. Between them all... Time will tell but Delta has changed there hiring plans more then 4 times the past year so don't count on that...
