It depends.
Pinnacle Upside: Get turbine 121 experience, which will give you a high chance of success at SKW, as well as the jet.
Pinnacle Downside: Doing 121 training as a low-timer (failing your first 121 training event is NOT the way to get your career started). Also you will not have the 1000 PIC required for IACO ATP privileges. I assume pinnacle has a one year training contract (but not sure) so you might be stuck there for a year. Also by working for a lower-tier regional, you are contributing to the decline of the industry and diluting the quality of the good jobs you hope to have in the future. But Pinnacle is better than mesa or gojets!

also it seems funny that you would say that after having gone to mesa to begin with yourself?? so i guess i should thank you for contributing to the decline of the industry and diluting the quality of the good jobs i hope to have in the future by helping mesa stay open one more day longer than it should. i think if it was good enough for you it would be good enough for this guy right? do as i say, not as i do.

Well said SAAB! I personally don't care who anyone works for or why they chose that specific regional but I think it is very distasteful that a 21 year old should try to belittle another pilot. I think it shows the very immaturity that is now rampant within the regional industry. I don't think it wise to judge another persons choices solely based upon what you read on a forum. It shows a definite lack of class.
