When did you submit your stuff on airlineapps? You meet the mins? I've also heard two different stories regarding needing and not needing your ATP written just to get an interview...any truth?

They are wanting you to have the ATP written. They were interviewing some that didn't have it tho. You just take a 50 question test the day of the interview! I applied in July or august and got an email about the end of august that said if you don't hear something in a month thanks for applying! I have 2500tt and 600 multi. I have a frien that got on with them about a month ago and they told him they don't want guys with a lot of time just meet the mims.

Kind of after 9-11. I dont think anyone was actually furloughed but they sent all the people in the training dept home and then brought them back to finish class a month later.

got called today for a potential interview. After being hired, what is the process with Pinnacle? Meaning, is there Indoc, training, IOE, etc, etc or is Indoc and training all rolled into one? I was under the impression that these two were separate, but I might be mistaken.

thanks for the help!

week 1 Indoc / written test
week 2 General Subjects / written test
week 3-4 Systems /written test
week 5-6 GFS / phase check / oral exam
week 7-8 Sims / PC
IOE

It doesn't happen in 8 weeks though. More like 16 weeks.

When I got hired at Mesa, I had 3+ months between ground and sim training. I also had a badge and flight benefits... I was G O N E.

Anyone know the time between training events? As in, once we're done with the written, how long till we get to the GFS? (What's GFS stand for? I'm assuming it's a procedure trainer?).

How long till the sim slots are announced after the procedures trainer?

Since they're doing background checks prior to setting foot on property, I am going to assume we get our badges sometime in ground school?

When are we in the system to ride in the back (not flight deck approved, just 'jumpseat' in the back)?

...I'm patiently awaiting a class date.

GFS (CPT/SSI) = Graphic Flight Sim (Cockpit Procedures Training/Systems integration)

I've been off for 2-3 weeks now waiting to start GFS. I have a "tentative" online schedule that shows me starting next week and completing Sims around 12/2 (but that's been pushed out a few times now so...)

I believe that Pinnacle new hires still do not get travel benefits until you complete your checkride. If there's a gap in training I believe they pos space you home and bring you back.
