However, CAL is taking 69 planes awy from XJT next year, so you could get furloughed. But by then you should have enough time to go to any regional. Or maybe EXT will keep their planes and you'll be in great shape.
Pinnacle is not in bankruptcy....Mesaba and NWA are.
The upgrade time at Pinnacle is just under 2 years but that time is increasing. The biggest reason Pinnacle is hiring so many pilots is because so many are quitting/leaving....many are junior and bailing for different regional jobs. Because of NWA's issues I would avoid pinnacle. If I were looking for my first job I would probably try for Skywest first.
