Trying but like a said the offers arent't pouring in.
I figure get a job somewhere for now. Then wait till a better offer comes in.
In the mean time the company that hires me gets a guy that will do a good job for them while I'm flying for them and I get to keep my skills sharp.
Thanks for the link. I'll go check them out.
ok, so my guess is that with your time and not getting calls you have been out of the game for a while. if so then yeah pinnacle might be the place for you. you will have to fly right seat for 100hrs and then you can apply for upgrade. once there and you start getting some recent flight time i am sure you will look a lot better to the other companies.
like spooled said however if you come here and upgrade within 2 or 3 months you will be on reserve for a very long time. an easy way to explain that is everyone that was hired before you will have seniority over you. even if you are a captain, an fo hired before you will be more senior. so everytime you think you are getting close to holding a line an fo will upgrade and push you back. just some things to think about.
and as far as things went with the professionalpilot he is far from high time. he only had around 2300hrs when he first got here, and was upset when either he, or they, or both got confused, misinformed, or whatever about the time he would need to upgrade. from what i hear he is going to fly a couple hundred hours more in the right seat and then move to the left as soon as he can.
