Maybe contact us again when you reach those times". After the phone call I was thinking, why did you even call me, my flight times on in the application I made. Don't get it.
Pinnacle's HR department (the whole airline's management really) is what we call in the business a CLUSTERBUCK! Don't take it personally. I think I would have laughed if she said that to me and asked her if she had any idea what the current hiring environment was like. But no, good on her trying to think Pinnacle can still attract the 1000/100 crowd.
