Anybody going to the interview next week? I got a call today and was told to get a current first class medical and call back before they would schedule an interview sometime in a next week. He was not sure what date it would be.

I am furloughed and have not flown over a year. Did anyone having the similar background got through the interview or a call from Pinnacle?

Got a call over a month ago from the chief pilot. Turned it down, the pay is just not worth the hassle. I have no idea how they got my info.

It's quite simple. If you don't show up in CASS, you can still jumpseat, just not in the jumpseat. Agents know this.

So I'd say your wish of good luck will be well received.

No. Under the former NW system though you did have to travel with buddy pass riders. No longer the case with friendlier DL pass bennies.

Not too sure about "friendlier" pass bennies from DL: we lost our buddy passes, we can only fly overseas 3 legs a year now, after that we start paying, we also lost positive space purchases at 30% discount, and to top it off we now even have to pay $50 out of our own pocket every year for these pass benefits!!

Yeah second the post above mine... we don't see any of these "friendlier" pass benefits with Pinnacle at the helm...

I love how they picked 3 legs, as if somehow someone is going to be able to use that extra leg. I'm going to take a trip with that extra leg they so generously give out and then call in to crew scheduling and tell them that I am stuck indefinitely in Europe until next year when the pass benefits reset and I get another 3 legs.

The third leg was designed to allow you to continue your journey if you had to make a one-stop coming across the international date line. Technically, you have just one round trip transocean pass. Totally sucks.
