That is false. We have not had a person sent there right out of training since the class that started March 3. I personally was in the March 17 training class and right now I am slated to be the third most Junior person in ATL when I move in October.

I am going to try and stay civil with this response. I don't know you or your personal circumstances and you do not know mine. Please do not try to act as if you do. I graduated HS 8 years ago, college 4 years ago. I spent time as in instructor and an aerial survey pilot before I made the jump to fly jets. This move was made with a charter company that went out of business in February. I was furloughed as a result and came to Pinnacle because of strong flying contracts, the bases making sense for my commute, and the fact that we were hiring in such a rush as to get people below me quickly (job security was big on my list) While I understand that one company receiving flying would probably result in another company's losing some, I am happy to not be losing another job this year. I was not screaming "YEAH, We are getting more flying". I was simply adding my opinion on a rumor, and I was adding it in a forum titled "Pinnacle".
