Commute with Pinnacle?
Just a few questions...just put my app in to many regionals including Pinnacle. Currently live in memphis and I am hoping Pinnacle works out for me. how long, if any, before i could get MEM as domicile? how long reserve? How hard of a commute would it be from the DFW area? (thinking of moving back there in 6 months to a year) Thanks for any help

Don't commute. Especially at Pinnacle. I did the DFW-MEM commute for 6 months. If one flight cancels it gets ugly. A lot of FedEx guys do that commute on AA also which also makes it tough with limited jumpseat agreements. If you don't mind getting to your crashpad around 1AM for 5AM reserve because you had to ride FedEx instead of AA then go for it. Commuting anywhere is miserable.
Living in base is so worth it. So if you want to move back to DFW come to Eagle. I bailed on Pinnacle because I love where I live and the woman and I didn't want to move to Memphis. Best of luck with your decision.

While I agree with you the problem we face is that for most people that are wanting to come to a regional the choices are now very slim... And we are hiring...

Thanks for all the info from the other guys, as well. I am thinking of eagle too since I could live in DFW without the commute. I have gotten to know many Pinnacle pilots and have friends that work there and absolutely love it.
