With first hand experience flying with the senior cadre at Pinnacle, that is a group of pilots that is stuck there for a reason (with a few exceptions). You talk about lowering standards- that is the bottom of the bottom. Bad pilots, worst personalities, and napoleon complexes abound.
Most of my time as an FO there was spent watching them and learning what not to do as a captain.
