This has strayed way off topic. Good for you and I am glad you are proud.
I made a little over 30000 for my year of training and not once flew a prop. Hooray me.
Point is bashing others is off key. Glad you love work rules and pay. We all should. Belittling others is silly. We all do the same job. If QOL was priority one for me I would have been at Horizon. But such is such.
This has turned into a mine is bigger than yours. Keep arguing so I can slip out the back door with yo date.

too bad I was trying to explain to you why Pinnacle may have certain people working for them and you guys strayed off. It's too bad your feelings are too easily hurt.

Sorry to offend you guys and obviously everyone's a little stressed out. I'm just going off what all the other posts are saying. That's all I've read lately... Pinnacle this, Pinnacle that. I just want to hear how the other regionals are doing. Besides, I didn't make my post personal Mr. PCLCREW... I'm very happy with my King Air. 
Good for me, right??
Good for me, right??2. When I told you to stick with the king air I ment it as that... stay away from the regionals.

Tpersuit - Your attitude is exactly the reason UND grads get a bad rap for being cocky, overconfident, rich kids. Grow up man, stop ruining things for the rest of us.

But, seriously guys, a school is a school. You can get your ratings anywhere. The price I paid for my schooling was only a fraction of what UND charges. What I mean is, if I wanted a logo like "Nike" under my wings, well, you know the rest. Give it a break.

i want pinnacle to succeed. i want the company to do good. with all the ata, skyway, regiants, and others coming here and starting all over after they lost their jobs i see how hard that is on the pilot and their family. i will do what i am supposed to but not a thing more. if pinnacle cant succeed then it wont be the pilots fault. it will be managements ineptness that will do us in.
our new hire classes have nearly 0 low time guys. we have the pick of the litter of high time captains from other airlines. and we still have vacancies going unfilled. in the last vacancy there was a mem captain spot that no one bid for.

Actually UND Grads that take jobs at Mesaba and Pinnacle in a since ruin it for the rest of us since it contributes to low pay. Do you every wonder why "other" regionals can't negotiate higher pay? It's because they tell us: "Look those guys fly for less"

FYI 900 2nd year FO is $33/hour now...or can you not read APC? And that's retro to the start of 900 service...and that will go up if we get a contract, which will eventually have to happen (2008=New Pres=New NMB=Strike or Contract).
If I were at XJT I would probably be keeping in touch with my good friends at 9E, since we're probably the best bet for a job if things go south at your company. We're cheap and things might go south here one day too, but at least we're hiring, eh?
