Pinnacle reserve sucks pure and simple. Typically you will work in some fashion every reserve day yet not break guarantee. Max work for min pay. Believe it or not the rejected TA proposed making reserve WORSE. Unfortunately we have a number of pilots who were hired on the leading edge of a big expansion and did little to no reserve so don't understand this. The bottomline is DO NOT COME TO PINNACLE! Many came here thinking it will get better and a good contract was "just around the corner". We have lots of guys getting divorces, getting foreclosed on or quitting and leaving the industry because they couldn't survive the Pinnacle "holding pattern" any longer. We have happy senior guys here that get good schedules and livable pay but most people here get the shaft. Quick upgrades are long gone and won't be back anytime soon.
