On another note - ANOTHER DCI carrier in Hotlanta?!?!
ASA, Freedom, Shuttle America, SKW, Comair and now Pinnacle. It's a good business decision on DAL's part. I guess, "bite me once shame on me, bite me twice.........................!" (i.e. Comair in CVG)

Congrats guys, see you in line on Echo.

Question for Pinnacle line holders...

What is the attrition rate? Will qualified new hires have a shot at upgrade with 100hrs in company aircraft in January?

Heck I think you have a shot at that now, provided you have the upgrade times.

I'm qualified, but Pinnacle now requires 100 hours in company aircraft before being awarded an upgrade class. Looks like I won't be at that point until January. Just wondering if the opportunity will exist by then.

this is what i ment by being excited. There are a lot of senior guys that commute in from fl, nc, sc, and easter tn. and a lot of those guys are chomping at the bit to fly out of atlanta instead of pressing their luck with just 3 flights a day to commute to mem. with a lot of the guys ahead of us gone i should be able to hold mem in a couple of months. the reason i was afraid to put my bid in for captain was if the first base to open was lax and they started displacing by seniority, i would be at the bottom of the list on the capt side (however after looking at the seniority list a little closer i see there are about 20 captains with seniorities below me.)

rumor is that it will be 1 per month for 3 months, then 4 per month for the next three. and there will be announcements for more 900 flying out of slc, and lax... remember the dot announcement. i don't think we will be flying to yvr from atl.

...I was kind of making fun of Saab's comment about XJT being left off the DCI list.

They were left off that list because you folks don't fly in ATL...
