This is just another way to reduce the pilot shortage in managements favor. Glad everyone was safe but I think this is going to happen more and more in the upcoming years.
Could it be because UND has agreements with several Regionals??? Why do you think that UND trains the student pilots in CRJ?
Where did you get that Pinnacle is the only Regional taking pilots from UND?
UND and several regionals has an agreement that states that UND will give innitial CRJ knwoledge and familarisation to its students and in return the Regionals will give some of the students an interview. If any regional takes a pilot with 250 hours is under such special sircumstances. No pilot with 250 hours from the street without any knowledge in CRJ can expect to get an interview with the regionals, not yet that is.......
So if you ask how Pinnacle can be so great if it takes students from UND then the answer is " as great as all other companies doing the same"
Stop putting Pinnacle down
