Pinnacle is a regional airline. You are treated like it. Compared to the other regionals...I don't think it is any worse. The crews there are good folks; mgmt. is a group of *********s. I can only think of a few tools I had to fly with. I don't know the current failure rate, but if you study, learn, have a good attitude, and have some decent experience you will do fine. As for being there two years from now...who knows? Pinnacle is going through a lot of the same problems that many other airlines have went through. Some airlines are here today, some are not. NWA has a reputation for tough negotations, so who knows what is in store for the new contract. I just hope that the pilots UNITE and don't cave in!
