Pinnacle cancelling classes?
 
I know Pinnacle was looking to hire within the last month or so. But i just heard that they have cancelled all of their new hire classes. Is this true???:confused:

Unfortunately, yes. The two October classes will go as scheduled (one is already under way) and all classes through the end of the year have been cancelled.

Yep. That is correct.

Is it just me or are they doing a poor job of scheduling and planning?

They tend to do this every fall. Look at what happened last winter.. Looking forward to a repeat. DW needs pull his head out of his......

You guys are short staffed. The company dumps it all on scheduling and expects them to fill trips that there are simply not enough pilots to cover. If anything, scheduling is doing a great job.

yeah this is the third year in a row that i have been here that they have done this. every fall/winter they slow down on hiring and upgrades, then come march they cant hire and upgrade enough. same stuff different year.

Been like that since the RJ's came online in '00. My dog does something bad, and by the 3rd time he realizes he shouldn't be doing it and adapts his behavior. 9e management does the same bad things over and over again for 8 yrs. They really are dumber than a dog.


It seems like they are still surprised that it snows in MSP in the wintertime, and are amazed that APU use goes up in the summertime in MEM :rolleyes:

Mesaba wonders what Paul Foley does.

At least we know what Ed Foley does. He likes to write memos. Lets see the latest one was telling us we can't use ipods unless deadheading. Have you wear our uniform when commuting to work (LMAO). Must be cleanly shaven? I think that was a hint for our grandma FA's...Uniforms pants must be the correct color.. I'm tried of buying pants that zippers break after a few uses. So I will not by M&H pants. Umm k.. ugggggggggggggggg

PS. Are they related?
