I love lamp... and online translators are sweet! Has everyone noticed that the Pinnacle threads consist on every current pinnacle employee saying they liked the job and people but the contract is an issue, and there are a few choice people who chime in and either were turned down in an interview (bitter), left during training for another regional (cannot give any negative reasons toward 9E- just were trying for another one from the beginning), or won't even say they ever worked for PNCL and will not say where they currently work. Maybe its just me- but it seems almost pointless to keep defending something that should not need to be defended. If you don't want to work for a company- DON'T. If you want to bash something/someone/some company-KNOW YOUR FACTS. On this site you WILL get called out for BS because too many people know the truth FIRST HAND. There are a million reasons why people work for different companies. Heck- Horizon won the award for top regional but most people on this site are saying to go to Xjet or AW. Some don't want to commute, some want a quick upgrade, some want or don't want to fly props, some are in it just for the highest FO pay, some look for places to make a career, and some just want to get a little jet time to go to the regional they originally wanted (the low timers). The facts of Pinnacle are well known, for some its a great mix, for others it may be too risky or just hell. Frankly horizon would not be a convenient commute and I want the PIC time, but I am not going to bash them for it because I want their contract here!
