Ex Pinnacle pilots, where are you now?
 

To those former 9E pilots using this forum who have moved on to greener pastures, where are you now? What kind of times did you have to move on? Just curious. Thanks.

Still at Pinnacle, but recently we have had pilots go to Delta, SWA, Jet Blue, Air Tran, and Fed Ex. But that is coming from guys that I personally know. I am sure that there are others. From what I have heard from captains that I know is that they have had some buds go fly for some European carriers, and I think that a couple are interviewing in Asia.

Frontier and Netjets have also picked up a good number of our pilots.

Forgot about those.......

Came to UPS from 9E a little over 2 years ago. around 5000 hours total and 1800 or so PIC turbine. Spent 5 years at Pinchnickle, still need a beer to calm my nerves when I think about the management there.

You would never guess by my call sign here!

Rudderdog, I miss you, we used to room together; you and your beef jerkey and black running socks.

Hi!

I know a lot of PCL guys are going Emirates.

We just had our second PCL new-hire here at USA Jet. The first was a female capt. who was fired at PCL. She flew one trip and quit. Didn't know we flew freight when she showed up.

The current new-hire class for the DC-9 is 3 former FOs: Spirit, PCl and AWAC.

hahaha, are you serious. she gets FIRED FROM PINNACLE,, is lucky enough to land another job, and then quits in 1 day because she didn't know she would be flying freight???

That is the most ludicrous thing I've read in a while.

There is a Pinnacle F/O in my new hire class at ASA
