Pinnacle Interview
 
I have a Pinnacle interview at the end of the month. Just looking for advice from people who have recently interviewed with them and I am just looking for how the interview went and what it comprised of.

Check the gouges. I had an interview on 4 Aug.

Pinnacle has started canceling classes, not so sure it is the best place to be looking for employment... but hey, to each their own.

I haven't been in ground school for a couple of months, but from what I hear the second class for August has been canceled with the possibility of some more being canceled for the rest of the year. I believe people are being hired into a pool right now. Take this for what it's worth-

I can have an interview for the end of the month but I have decided not to go because I cannot find a positive thing about the company. Plus the recent interviews have all been negative. Whats the point of going to an interview with a poorly run company that is just going to throw you into a pool IF you get the job? I guess you can go to get the experience but from what I have heard and seen the interviews have been completely discouraging.

Granted, Pinnacle isn't at the top of many people's list but interview experience is very valuable. You don't want to get that interview with your dream job and then blow it because youre nervous. Airline interviews are like sex: your first time sucks no matter what but you get better and better each time you do it so its a good idea to practice on an ugly girl rather than that gorgeous, busty cheerleader.

Hey there, CTD- I just started at Pinnacle on the 7th. Things may see gloomy right now, but I'd say the company is in pretty okay shape. They did cancel the second Aug. class because there were only 4 people scheduled in it, mgmt said they'll roll that class into a mid to late Sept. class. We're still waiting as to what Big Daddy NWA is deciding to do with those 15 CRJs. But there's also a few other things going on that are keeping the future pretty bright.

I did my interview a few months back, and it seemed pretty straight forward. No games, no gimicks. The staff was very professional and courteous- and they still are. I'd say go to the interview, if anything- just for the experience. It'll help you ease up for future interviews.

Good luck!!!

Thanks everyone for replying. Every regional airline has its own problems, I don't think that there is a perfect one out there. I don't plan on staying with the regionals for an extended period of time. If anything it will be a good experience interviewing.
