Come to pinnacle as you will be below me on the list

All bs aside , I have only been here since sept of last year and I have no complaints. I have gotten extended only once and the flight ended up getting canceled so I didn't have to do it. Otter than that knock on wood I have had a very easy going nice experience. I knot not everyone has had such luck here , and I am also coming into this place when things sound like they may turn around. Guys have been on reserve here for years with the old contract. Unlike me maybe the timing was better. But no one could have predicted anything.

I also have a buddy that went to eagle . And he is very pleased as well . Says he is having a good time overall. He did mention training was tough ,

Atl as of now is a more senior base, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changed with the new pay rate.
A guy only one class ahead of me
Just got called for atl on the 900 and
He is was junior. So things change all the time .


Good luck

Is this the one and only "Pink Slip Peoples"??? If so, don't you have better things to be doing, like giving out pinks??

If that is indeed the guy with the nickname I would first be surprised, but I would also say the guy is actually fair. He simply expects you to know your stuff and be by the book.

Both are great companies, and offer very similar compensation, bases, equip, etc.

I can only speak for Eagle, but it has been steady and stable for the past decade. No telling what tomorrow holds, but we will find out then. The training department is top notch. The training is intense and they expect you to study hard, but you will come out as a better pilot than you went in. Eagle is hiring 600 for 2011, classes every two weeks and all bases/equip except LAX.

I know, I was being little sarcastic. I have had him for many of my PC's and never had a problem.
