Also. Besides Mesaba, Colgan and Cape Air, are there any other regionals interviewing at this time?

Pinnacle has a pool about 200 deep and the company is saying 6 months before any future classes or upgrades. It would take a big development (aka more airframes) for that to change. As it stands starting in January we will have less marketing hours and more pilots on the line. Good luck in your search.

I had two buddies that received an e-mail on Monday telling them to fill out an application and send it in. Would anybody have a clue as to why they would be doing this?

Same deal with me, but I already had one filed on airline apps. The email also said they'll get back within next 30 days to 'advise the next step in the hiring process'. Let me guess what the next stop is........ oh yeah.... waiting!

If you are referring to PNCL the folks in HR love to have the applicant bank full... PLUS it would give them things to do when things are a little quiet right now... Heck, many folks sent their stuff into FDX when they were flight instructing, doesn't mean there is any chance of getting a call.

Ha ha...maybe they don't qualify for you guys...you know 9E, we might be "Pinnacle" in name, but not in hiring requirements!!!

I said the same thing with a lot of suspicion to some guys being all anxious and complaining on here about when 9E was going to hire again...it's a good question with only two reasonable answers...1) They have less than 600-1000 hours of flight time or 2) They have SJS and are afraid of the Saab (even though you guys are prob putting all your new hires on the 900). Only justifiable explanation for not trying just as hard to get on at XJ are 1 and 2...we have all the same bases, and your upgrades are probably better than ours now...

...not that I wouldn't rather be at 9E...ha ha....just saying from a new hire perspective I'd be looking at XJ real hard right now, so I can't understand all the folks on here obsessed with 9E...
