I am just over 31 years old and was hired at Pinnacle when I was 24, my career clock is ticking. I have over 8000 hours, a college degree, a line check airman and a clean record. I NEED to get out of this place ASAP, or change careers; I cannot wait around for a flow. It’s mostly my fault that I am still here, I have not applied anywhere else besides Northwest Airlines and Delta, I always said I would never commute out of MSP for a airline job, but now I see that is just a pipe dream.
I like this guy!
FWIW, I wrote two letters for pilots to be hired at DAL - Both are Pinnacle LCAs. Both are great guys that like fishing as much as me. DAL would be fortunate to have them on the list. Both have the same sentiment as this guy. Neither live in MSP.
PNCL has some great folks. Let's not forget that. However, a PNCL flow is bad business.
