Knowing Pinnacle/Colgan, they will wait until the last minute, panic, and shove everyone through a half a$$ ATP program in their usual Chinese Fire Drill mode.......

I'm thinking they want to do the furloughs before they start doing ATP's so they don't have to pay for guys who won't be flying here. If they take a recall they will get them an ATP at that time. There will probably be a lot of voluntary furloughs so they won't know at this point who is staying and needs an ATP. I would be interested in a voluntary furlough. I want to chase the quick upgrade without losing my seniority and longevity at Pinnacle.
I think most carriers make you resign your seniority at your previous carrier in order to be hired, be careful.

The only difference between a PC and a type ride for us right now is on a type the CA candidate has to do a single engine missed approach.
Everything else is held to ATP standards already.
An ATP ride isn't that difficult. It's the written that's the beeotch. Go through ATP or Sheppard (sp?) and it's a guaranteed pass.

It is probably a combination of them having no plans beyond two months for any aspect of the business and also them knowing how many FOs will leave once they finally get their free ATP.
