Back to the topic. Pinnacle is an opportunity to fly.
Most regionals are not hiring. This is a tough market and economy. Pay may be low but it is a stepping stone and you do have to pay your dues. If you disagree then why would anyone want to flight instruct?
The contract is going to be resolved. Both NWA and Delta are tiring of it and are applying pressure.
This is as lean as I have ever seen it. I was 23 in 2001 and saw both the good times and bad times. I knew people that went from a 747 FE at NWA to instructing at ERAU within weeks.
Pinnacle is a solid place to be right now. Whining and *****ing about things only shows that you really have never lost anything. Appreciate what you have and strive to make it better.

Yeah, besides the full ride athletic scholarship and academic ride Daddy paid. He was actually relieved as it cost him less than 5 grand to get me through college.
I don't plan on being a regional pilot forever but in the mean time I can supplement my income by taking drills with my ANG unit.
Perhaps then I can afford my Kobe beef and smile at all the clever folk out there.

Transferred from the Academy, Class of 01. Never claimed to graduate so you are correct, 2 years do not equal a 4 year degree.
The combination of athletic and academic at ERAU paid the way. I am not sure of anyone that got a 100% ride but they do pay a lot.....At least if you are worth it. And degree dependent. They like everyone else have ways around things.
