Well, I'm not staying at the Homestead. I just moved in with my girlfriend who has an apartment just east of Memphis. Everything just worked out perfectly that way. We've only got 3, plus one guy who got held back a week for illness.

I think it's funny that you're classifying the 1000TT FO as "high time." You're using 1000TT and 500 SIC turbine as an example of somebody you'd prefer to fly with, yet this same pilot must have been fresh out of a 172 with 500 hours at some point!

good, i wouldn't fly on pinnacale either,, sounds like an airline in south america. pinnacle on the other hand is fine to fly on,, thousands of fed ex pilots think we do a pretty good job.

ps... i sure hope you weren't the guy in the lear a couple months ago who took off on taxi way mike over one of our crj's in memphis

What's worse?? Taking off or landings on a taxi-way

There's nothing wrong with this.

He said it was the worst training and the most unprofessional aviation experience he's had. He would of rather sat right seat at a good company then fly as a captain with PNCL. Some of the guys were good, but he said some of the pilots were the bottom of the barrel and he wouldn't want is family flying on the planes with the experience he had with them. Looks like a good opportunity though for quick PIC time.

Hmmm. I think I've seen this recurring message before. Gotta laugh with the constant pinnacle positivity by a very few. Must plan on being there for a while.
