Funny, i start class 5/30, TWO DAYS before these things kick in. oh well

Do current pilots in training get travel passes for the weekends or is that new as well?

As they say "...extended break...". The way that's currently being interpreted is five consecutive days off gets you a travel pass. Otherwise, if you want to go home, you need to buy a positive space ticket just like everybody else.

Airsupport, sounds like you work with Pinnacle. Is DTW the junior base out of training? Also, how long on reserve (lately)?

Thanks in advance.

V/R,

DTW is junior, and you can gaurantee it out of training. reserve about 2 months. maybe less if you get buildup line.

Any Advice?

BTW....are those Delta CRJ-900's going to DFW for flights to Mexico?
keep trying, you will get hired, and you must have heard that from our message board, a guy in the pilot group made up the dfw thing.

Crap, I thought it was going to be 2500 total with 1000 at Pinnacle.
Oh well, I can still upgrade in about the same amount of time I thought I was going to (hired with 1100/100) with the captain mentoring program.
upgrade is 2500tt if you have 1000 crj at pinnacle

until they show us the money in a new contract they will have a hard time finding pilots, i think this new program is a start in the right direction, correct me if i am wrong but i think 1600 a month is the most anyone makes while in training,, and that is 1600 tax free straight into your pocket.

Airsupport, do you know if it's still 3000 TT with 500 at Pinnacle? I'm about 100 shy of 3K TT so i'm thinking about putting my bid in a few months.

Pinnacle will not hire you unless you have around 900-1000TT. They said to me in ATL this past weekend that if you get advacned jet training course, then its 400TT. I m not paying for that though.

I'd update my bid at the website as often as you can, and make sure the choices are what you really want, not just what you can hold. Because they may award you a base that you don't want, and you may have trouble switching back later on. Unless you don't mind commuting....

Also, now we have that mentoring program that people mentioned, so there's something else you can look at.

yes that still applies. so you can upgrade here if you have 2500tt if 1000 is in a pinnacle crj. 3000tt if 500 is in a pinnacle crj, or 3500 off the street. and like the post above me said just put in a bid for what you want. i live in mem, and i wont upgrade till i can hold mem. if you commute then do whatever is best.i am at about 2200tt with about 1000 in the crj here at pinnacle. let me know if you have any more questions.

if i remember correctly my takehome at eagle during training was something like 1800 a month. (years ago) we were paid a monthly guarantee and per diem.
Or, maybe this is a defense mechanism my mind has put in place to protect myself from the truth.
