You don't know what you are talking about. I am proud to say I got most of my ratings at ATP, I instructed there for 18 months, where I really learned and taught myself alot about flying. Unless you are a military aviator, you have to pay for your training. I would rather pay $37,000(what I paid) then pay 6 figures and get an aviation degree from Riddle. I have a college degree from 4 year state university, a LT in the United States Naval Reserve, and I fly for Pinnacle. Pinnacle is not the best, but it has certainly made a huge impact on your life because that is all you talk about. I am sorry you failed somewhere in your training, or you were fired because you couldn't get through IOE. Obviously you have some type of attitude problem that you need to correct, maybe that is why you are no longer here. You do not belong in the professional world of aviation at any airline. Why don't you look at the profits of all the airlines and not just Pinnacle. They all do the same thing. Get over it, grow up and move on with your life. No one cares about how much you hate Pinnacle. Go find your golden regional airline(there are just so many out there). I certainly didn't go to 9E to make money, I came here to fly and move on to a better job in the future.
