I think that's the best post i've read since i've been on here (I was lurking before my measly 20 posts)
Well I will take that as a compliment- thanks.


But on the other note as far as mins and whatnot- its who you know and how much you spent. We do hire the 250-hour ATP guys. The interviewing off the street seems to be at 800/100 not the 1000/200 the site says. It really helps to have a little more multi and to have a current pilot send in your resume.

The great thing with pinnacle is that the people are great, the upgrades are quick, and you will be able to have QOL within a few months with the current attrition. I will have a line next month in the most senior base and this is only my 4th month of bidding while being the most junior guy in my new hire class (goes by bday). I would have held a line in the most junior base at my 2nd month of bidding- but I happen to be from/live in the most senior base. Attrition is high here though- we are losing at least one pilot a day (by far more CAs than FOs) and the CA's are heading to majors for the most part. Pinnacle gets knocked sometimes, but after a good contract that appears to be here soon I think that will change a bit.
