I'm '01.. only 1 left of the 9FO's, of the 9 CA's in class with me about 4 are still standing. Most of the '01 crowd left within 2 year and the rest.. ironically.. were fired.

violations.. it happens more than you think. Many are plea bargained down to other offenses, but I can tell you this company will throw your ass under the bus in a heart beat. While I cannot name cases, I can tell you the company has "suggested" more than one LOI and more than one 709. It is to the point now we can actually predict with some accuracy which cases are heading to LOI and/or 709's.

this is a vicious company in that respects, you get caught with your pants down and try to bolt, they will follow you and put you down. I think they feel they have a higher calling and that is why they continue to screw with guys that have left of their own free will.

regardless.. a joke a while back.. what makes a pinnacle captain better than any other regional CA?

if they escape without being violated they MUST be sharp. DX, MX, CS, and management on a daily basis will violate you if they can (most is just because they just don't know what they are doing).

Hey guys listening to the Comair conference call today our president said that the freedom 900's were not given to comair do to "economical" reasons. Which he later clarified were PARKED!

So they are either straight up not telling us the truth, which I wouldnt doubt or you guys are just taking your 900 orders earlier than expected.

last month at recurrent i asked one of the top 3 management guys about 9e getting freedoms planes. He had no clue what i was talking about. And I have yet to see anything official from the company reguarding this issue.

well the delta fleet schedule shows you with more airplanes next month so now the question is are they freedoms or your deliveries that were not supposed to come until next year. According to the comair president atleast those airplanes are being parked!

They did just make 3 new tail number reservations on the FAA website, still doesnt answer where they are coming from but with the numbers they reserved, could be new planes, who knows.

I am in the new hire class, and Clive himself told us that it was comair flying.

I know you have a lot to memorize in new-hire class, but realize that you are getting Comair flying, not comair flying.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Forgive me for laughing. I understand you've been here 3 days and this might be your first airline job, so you might not understand how things work at this (or any other) airline.

Rule #1: Don't believe aything anyone on nonconnah says unless it has already happened.

I bet FF also told ya'll you get preferential hiring at FedEx if you come talk to him once you have your 1000 TPIC. Before you believe that one, jumpseat on a FDX flight sometime and ask the captain if he knows FF and what he thinks of him. You might not get the response you expect.

PS> I'm not saying we're not getting Comair routes out of CVG, what I am saying is you need to understand that's typical new-hire pep talk stuff, and you need to be more skeptical of mgmt.
