"Pinnacle Airlines Will Begin Hiring Again
By Paul Templeton on November 20, 2008 8:16 AM | No TrackBacks
I received a call from one of ATP's RJ Program Grads who is in the interview pool with Pinnacle Airlines. He called to give me the gouge:

Pinnacle has over 60 people in their "interview pool", but they have confirmed that over 30 of the people in the pool have found employment elsewhere.
The first round of interviews will take place the first and second week of January, 2009.
There was no official forecast of the number of pilots who will be hired, but we are told that they will have a "large demand for pilots" beginning in January.
They will be using those pilots to build up their base in ATL flying the CRJ-900.
They will also begin flying for Delta out of MSP in Minneapolis and will be building up that base also.
There will be a lot of RJ systems and limitations questions in the interview.
ATP RJ Grads will be exempt from taking a Simulator Evaluation during the interview.
Expect further updates as more airlines start hiring after the first of the year, and more gouge will be available as we approach the holidays".
