We staff about 9 pilots per plane... so you can plan on about 170. That doesn't include mgmt, phantoms and stuff like that. The numbers might be a bit off, but it's a good estimation. Based on the latest 200 vacancy notice, we're up to 85 CA and 78 FOs. This closed a few weeks ago and the Captains start class on 3/3.

Would you consider this plea for picking up flying at 150% as a way to mask the underlying problems at Pinnacle? It's convenient to blame Mesaba and our issues and to gloss over the fact your airline is run by people who can manage their way out of a paper bag. The fact is that you guys have a staffing problem that was out of control long before the 200s started coming to Mesaba.

well i dunno. They said in class that they will continue to hire 200 guys every month and that was from a couple of weeks ago. So maybe its 9 of each? because if its total then they should have stopped hiring guys a while back.

Either way 200 a month is a way overshoot unless we get more airplanes in my opinion. As of 3/4/08 we are up to 60 new hires this year.

I think what he means is that they are going continue hiring into the CRJ200 every month.
