Hey guys.... thanks for all the great advice. The interview went great, got the highest score out of the 21 interviewing on the written, and breezed through everything else. The chief pilot at Pinnacle seems like a really cool guy, and the captains doing the interviews were all pretty laid back too. Seems like a great place to work.

As for Browntail's comments..... yeah, there's a reason why their uniforms are brown! Hmm.... lack of basic toiletry skills? Just kidding. It's really sad that there's a bunch of us down here at the bottom of the pecking order who are actually thrilled about flying for a living. Actually, I think all us new guys are a threat to the crusty older pilots like browntail. We actually might enjoy our line of work. Some of us never lost sight that we're getting paid to do the best job in the world. Albeit, maybe at some pretty poor pay scales, but we're flying. If you're in this to get rich, quit your job and let someone more devoted to this profession take your position... the heyday of $300k a year payrates are over. If you guys can't handle it, too bad. I'm personally thrilled to get paid $22/hr for now. Next year it will be better, and the year after even better. But ya know what, as long as my wife and I can give our family a good life... who cares?

Never liked UPS anyways.... spent 4 years in Ops for FedEx. Now that's a great airline! We're not just a trucking company with airplanes!!!
