nope

250 TOTAL, not ME. This us the agreement pinnacle inked with wmu. No interview either. That should give you an idea of just how desperate they are.

Here are the press releases

Pinnacle puts WMU aviation grads on fast track | WMU News | Western Michigan University

OUDaily.com | Airlines promise graduates interviews

I'm not sure Mesaba would hire as low as pinnacle is right now though, I'm a former XJ intern and the lowest number that was thrown around for us was 500tt

"This program is possible because Pinnacle believes the qualities of the individuals who successfully complete the University's flight science degree program meet or exceed all standards with which we measure pilot qualifications and professionalism," says Philip Trenary, president and chief executive officer of Pinnacle Airlines Corp. The agreement is only the second such direct-hire program in the nation the airline has entered into.

I'm pretty sure that this is the same guy who started Exec Express Airline too and promised the same direct hire type program to graduates from Oklahoma State University back in the late 80's that had trained at Exec Express (one of the FBOs that contracted with the school for flight training).

It didn't work out for me

, but like they always say - when one door closes, another opens.

Dang. Does anyone know of the same going on from graduates of Utah Valley Universities Aviation Science program? I graduate in a month with a 3.8GPA.

Hiring them is one thing... Not passing the Checkride after 8 Sim Sessions is strike 1 for you young bucks. A C172 or Seminole is nothing like flying CRJ or a Q400... We had guys washout in my class that were prior BE1900 and 121 experience. Something to think about.

Jet | Aviation | Western Michigan University

This program acts as a bridge between single-pilot resource management (SRM) and crew resource management (CRM) and is different from a typical University course in that the learning is very compacted. In the airline industry, pilots must be able to communicate with each other verbally and non-verbally, directly and indirectly using aircraft systems. The JET Program trains pilots to do just that, and it teaches them the skills necessary internalize the communication skills necessary to work effectively as a crew memeber

Apparently, the class doesn't cover WRITTEN communication.
