Additionally, turning down a class date waiting for another airline to call you is hazardous as the ones you hope to call you may or may not call you, leaving high and dry.....

Make a chart if you need to compare contract things.
Saab, thanks. You raise another point that concerns me. Pinnacle is about to lose a bunch of guys, right? So that's hundreds of pilots with lots of time out on the street that will get priority job placement. Assuming I built up time and waited for XJT or PSA, those guys would get called in from the pool to a class first, and I'd be stuck in my time-building gig...not good.

Thank you! I have 840 total and 100 multi. I applied at PSA months ago when their mins were around 900-something. Most of my multi is in the 1900, which I got sic-typed in. Dunno if that made a difference. Just kept updating my stuff online and checking in until I got called. I know two guys in class now at PSA who have around 900/50 each.
