well tell your friend if he doesn't get hired somwhere else to not worry about it. this isn't the first time this company has cancelled a class/upgrade only to turn around and try to catch up. i think this is all a ploy to get us to sign a contract. i wouldn't even be suprised if pinnacle filed for bankruptcy and forced a contract on us. i wouldn't put it past management. we dont have enough pilots on the nwa side. and there is still plenty of room for the few pilots we have in atlanta to come back to their original bases.
