- 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.
Just so you don't get your hopes up...
This posting was discussed in length on the Pinnacle pilots webboard. It is from a guy with 200 hours in the pool at Pinnacle. How he thinks he knows hiring and fleet plans at pinnacle is beyond me, no one else there does. It was really picked apart on the Pinnacle website. All it is is a bunch of BS by ATP trying to recruit more gullible low time RJ bridge guys.
