There will be no transfer. It was entertained by the suits, but not happening from what I have gathered.

Are you guys talking about any upgrades over at Pinnacle or is the short staffing just on the FO side?

I've been hearing 30/30 for upgrades and new hires but haven't seen any confirmation. I do know that we have a good number of folks in hiring pools now so it would make sense...

That would be a net gain of zero FO's though. Are you only short in the left seat at the moment?

60 new hires- 30 CA, 30 FO

I have a feeling that there will be a lot more upgrades for current pinnacle pilots. You guys are inheriting 58 aircraft from mesaba and unless you guys give a straight one for one integration probably two thirds of the upgrades will be current pinnacle pilots.

I've heard this number too. Supposedly, training starts for the fo's (60) in August and hopefully October will see 30 fo's in class for upgrade.

Ok, now I just heard only FO's. No upgrades until the new guys hit the line. I also heard no upgrades until we hear from the boulevard of broken dreams what's going to happen with intergration.

I hope you guys are right.

I never said my info was sourced. I understand it to be getting 30 FO's on line so they can put 30 FO's through upgrade with 30 more new FO's in the pipeline so 60 new numbers on the list and 30/30 CA/FO. When it's fact and sourced we will see a vacancy.

Niether is mine... just throwing one more piece of crewroom banter out there.
