Just so you know, I wasn't pointing fingers, that was really more of a question.

I have read alot on here, and I don't work at Pinnacle, but am looking to work there. So far nobody has painted a rosy picture at all. But I do live in the DTW area, I don't have a family, and I have the required hours plus some to upgrade hopefully pretty quickly. Also from an FO I'm acquainted with that works there, I was told when your on reserve your only on the leash for 12 hours a day, you have scheduled days off, and DTW is their most junior so I could easily hold DTW. Also they're flying A/C built within the last decade, it's 121 time, and like I said one of the main attractions is upgrading quickly and getting 121 PIC. So those are the positives as far as I can see it.

Now the negatives, read from here, the management is a bumbling group of idiots that have no respect for their employee's, no contract, poor scheduling, poor training, poor morale.

So far from what I can see, for my personal situation the positives seem to out weigh the negatives. I'm not some kid with 1,000hrs looking to get my first flying job, I've been a captain for a couple years now flying both piston twins single pilot and 2 crew turbo props flying 135 freight. I'm looking at everybody that I work with and no one is moving on, even the jet captains. I don't know if it's the freight dog stigma or what, but they're just not finding good jobs. So I'm looking at taking this big step back wards to hopefully make myself more marketable. Plush who knows if I stick it out at Pinnacle for a couple years, they may finally get a decent contract in that time and conditions might improve.
