I'm instructing at the new Chicago Executive (formerly palwaukee PWK). I do have people who can walk my resume in when I'm ready at Pinnacle, AWAC, and Skyway. Several of the instructors who have recently left for the regionals where I work have said they would try to help me out too at Skywest and Eagle, don't know how much that would help though...
Also is Pinnacle really that bad? I know about how much they pay, what I'm curious about is the QOL. On this site they are claiming the upgrade time is between 2 and 4 years, which will probably come down in the future. I have a family member in management with them at MSP and from what I've heard it is pretty senior there? Any ideas?
