Default Pinnacle Mins

What are the current competitive mins at pinnacle? I sent a resume a week ago and got an e-mail back saying to build some more time and to get some jet training.

Just go to a job fair. They set me up with an interview there with about 650-70 multi. Just make sure you have the ATP written out of the way prior to since it's a requirement to interview.

I don't understand how pinnacle, out of all places, is affording to keep mins so high...

They're not keeping mins that high. Guys with just more than 200 hours are getting hired if they are from one of their bridge programs...

They're turning down 800/50 for 250/8 Jet U guys. Beats me. I referred two guys and both got the same "go to Jet U" email.

Yeah, I think that is it. Must have some sort of jet training or come from a bridge program to be accepted with low time.

Go to some other company where you don't have to waste thousands of dollars on some redundant jet training. You will get the jet training AFTER you get hired. What a scam.

yea but i can see why some airlines like those jet training programs because it probably means lower failure rates. the could care less about your time, they just dont want to put you through training and then have you fail 3/4 of the way through for not being able to make the "transition" to a jet
