3500 Street Capt
3000 with 500 at PCL
2500 with 1000 at PCL
1500 if flown with 3 mentor captains and received the endorsement
but remember 2000 multi is also required.
If you have 250 PIC...OE is only 25 hours
Less than 250 PIC requires 50 hrs OE
The absolute minimums are 2000TT, 1500 Pinnacle with 100 hours minimum in the mentor program. You can not upgrade at 1500TT unless they are unofficially allowing it which I have heard nothing of.

Do we really think it's going to come down to a strike?? Don't want to leave a job to be on the street....but i dont want to be an FO in year 6.
help?
As most of us have been asking you, why would you take the risk of being in training or on probation during a strike??? My magic ball hasn't been working very well as of late so I can't tell you when we will be released but it could happen anytime. In my opinion management isn't planning on voluntarily giving us a fair contract anytime soon. It is going to have to be extracted out of them tooth and nail and the only way I can see that happening is by getting released. In my opinion, you would be a fool to give up a stable FO job/seniority to come to Pinnacle with all of this going on. What happens if we strike and Pinnacle Corp. decides to run Pinnacle Airlines Inc. into the ground??? Now you would be up a very brown river with no paddle - no job, many years lost seniority at your old job, and little to no 121 PIC time which was the original reason you got yourself into the mess. My advice - and my advice alone since the company is suing ALPA
- would be to go somewhere else until the matter is settled. Good luck.
