They need to hire, who wants to come to Pinnacle?
What's the job post going to read???
"Come spend almost 6 months at the lowest paid shrinking airline till you get furloughed."

The 5 pilots on furlough are being recalled and the 116 pilots on leave are being given the option to return. Depending on how many come back will determine how many people we need to hire.

The only reason Pinnacle exists at this point is to put pressure on all the other regionals, the plan is to shrink, end up like Comair and then shutdown when the contract expires. If they need to they will transfer/get rid of airplane to prevent hiring. Delta is sleazy but probably not sleazy enough to break the contract to shut the operation down before the 7 years. Even with 80 airplanes they get to use the new rates 80% of pilots agreed to in order to beat down the other carriers. Once the other carriers have been beat down they can get rid of Pinnacle and we can continue our "careers" at new carriers with a new decreased compensation package in part due to the concessions 80% of 9E pilots agreed to. So why would a new hire want to go to Pinnacle and live with the stigma of having to put Endeavor on their resume for the rest of their life? I wish we all belonged to a Union so they could prevent this type of thing, oh wait . . . .
