Default Pinnacle/ Delta

Does anyone have any new info concerning the crj 900 routes/bases for Pinnacle? I've heard the ATL and LAX rumors from most. Guess they could pick up some of Comair's Orlando routes?

I just interviewed a couple of days ago and they still have no idea where the planes are going. I wouldn't expect anything to come out about it until September or October.

one thing i do know is i looked at the latest vacancy and it calls for 40 captains, and that doesn't include the vacancy for the delta flying....

on a side note uncle phils message said that delta wanted our flights to be like mainline flights which include hotmeals in first class, and possibley some carribean flying.

Comair does not do much out of MCO any more. It is mostly Freedom.

If I read correctly also, there's 6 slots they can't even fill plus 3 street CA hired (from the final award)

I just love how they can't get the senior FO's to make the jump... losing weekends off is difficult but seeing mgmt still squirm is kinda entertaining... I am waiting for scheduling to junior man some FO's into upgrade class- That would be hilarious..

Got a call for an interview on Tuesday for a july 2nd or 9th class. I meet all upgrade mins which means I guess could almost walk into class as a street captain. However I am thinking I am not gonna go to the interview now. After speaking with several employees there, reserve sux. The rules are horrible and when you are that junior you will never get off of reserve. Also I dont live in any of the bases and have no plans to move. I live on the west coast.

I have considered just doing the interview but dont want to waste the $200 for new medical/hotel/food and not to mention all the time required for me to even do it.

A west coast 900 base would be great but very unlikely a newbie would get something like that.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

I imagine you've probably already looked into SKW, but food for thought: If you have the TT for Pinacle CA then you definitely meet the SKW mins. They fly 900s all over the west coast and have a relatively low upgrade time with no reserve in SLC, ORD, DEN, or FAT.
