Knoxville Pinnacle Pilots?
 

I'm a recent new hire and was wondering if there are any Pinnacle drivers in the area? If so I'd like to pick you brain over free cold refreshments (my treat of course) regarding Pinnacle and airline flying in general.

I know a couple but not sure if they're on this board or not. Are you currently in training or awaiting a class date

Awaiting a class date for late June to early July. Just looking for info on commuting, the company, etc.

There is one special K-town commuter whom I'm sure you will see plenty of when you begin your commuting career. You'd better have a lot of money for those cold refreshments because the talking could take you into the better part of a decade. He's a good guy, but you'll see what I mean. He has no lack of opinions. Welcome aboard!

Get your post count to where you can send private messages and I can be of some assistance possibly for a few questions

Same here.

HA! I was thinking of the same person!!!!!

Nice enough guy... I still remember my left ear hurting from the incessant talking/preaching, though. Last full month as an FO, too.

The guy I flew with the month prior made me relieved to fly with him. Oh, memories...

Captain Rush Limbaugh commutes out of TYS. You can always talk to him. ;)

Thanks for the info and welcome messages. Don't know why I'm not allowed PM priviledges as my post count now reads the 10 required. Oh well, if one of you could send me the name(s) to my personal email I'll google the guy(s) to make the contact here in KTown. I can be reached at jackjwhite at y a h o o dot com. Thanks in advance and I look forward to mtg the Rush Limbaugh of Knoxville. He sounds like quite a character--LOL.

Welcome and congrats on the job. ;)

Just did a overnight there 2 days ago , nice hotel I must say

Sup, I'm sorta a PCL pilot by default. But I'm commuting to IAH for Colgan. Here in a few days I will even have a PCL seniority number, YAY!

By the way I'm in Ktown, West Knox. Did you just move here or have you been here a while?

has anyone ever secretly stuck a Gore/Lieberman sticker to his flight case and watched the reaction when he noticed?

Dont ask this guy anything, he doesnt know a thing about commuting. Hes been at the airline for four years and has flown 300 hours.

If you want any knowledge on mil leave or flying a KC-135 he is your guy though.

I'd like to see that.

I am based in TYS but I fly for PSA, which isn't Pinnacle but starts with a P ..Do I qualify for the free beverage program?? :D

Only if you can get me an interview with them--LOL. Do that an I'll buy you all you can drink as it would keep me from commuting. I've had all kinds of interest except from the one airline that has a domicile in the town I live in---argh!

Don't expect to "talk" to Capt Rush.. You wont have a chance. His mouth never stops flapping. Also I wouldn't ask him anything about commuting as he always shows up at the gate 5 mins prior to departure. Also I wouldn't buy to many drinks as he will come to expect it all the time. I have to say though he is a "nice enough" guy. :D
In the 4 years I was based in DTW I only saw him on the TYS commute a half dozen times.

I've been a PCL/TYS commuter for 10 years. :rolleyes:

Anyone know of Capt. Alaska, actually an FO. Based in DTW for Pinnacle.
