Did you ever have an ID that said "Pinnacle" or pay check that said "Pinnacle" ? If so, say what you want but you were at Pinnacle pilot at one point. It doesn't matter where you came from

Only time will tell, I hope it works and brings in all the pilots we need. However, we are not getting "plenty" of pilots, trust me, I know this first hand. The overall pilot pool is drying up. As of this last week, we are (-2) on the overall pilots coming into Endeavor, that's not too bad given the state of the regional airline industry and with pilots finally starting to move to Delta. Another problem is the quality of applicants, lots of pilots are failing out of training.

We can play the "source" game. We gain, what "44"? What is the "loss" definition as it's still a positive number?
It's still positive.
You can run the math, I'm still seeing the end result. It's net positive. Movement is a good thing.... For each pilot in seemingly every base.
But I digress, with only good news...fun to argue on a message board...

Do you or anyone else know if we are close to seeing the regional industry move to another level of pilot recruitment? It seems like we are in step 1 with bonuses, flows, guaranteed interviews. In my mind step 2 would invlove some or all of the following; buying GA aircraft to finish pilot hours/brush up IFR skills, paying significant parts of flight training costs(sponsorships), partnering with 135 operators to flow through pilots to RJs, and maybe the FAA capitulating on the ATP law....Maybe step three is the demise of regionals as we know it-i.e., the RJ you fly is no longer "operated by XXX" you really ARE the mainline that is painted on the side.. Thoughts, observations.??? I mean shoot, we still have not hit peak legacy retirements!!
