Oh great! More 70+ seater aircraft at the regionals, just in time for us to enjoy another 10 years at the regionals while mainline outsources its flying! The mentality of many regional pilots here is just sickening. Only an idiot would celebrate the growth of more Qs at regionals. Unless you plan on fully retiring here at Pinnacle Corp, you shouldn't want a single Q at a regional. They belong at the majors, as with any other aircraft with more than 70 seats.
Pinnacle is not hiring because all of the training spots are taken up with transfers until late summer 2012. All of the hiring will be at Colgan/Mesaba until all of the transfers are finished. The lack of Pinnacle hiring has nothing to do with staffing levels. It is due to the implementation of 11-09.
