Nah, I won't make it on the next one.. I'm probably three maybe four vacancies out..

As long as we a.) don't implode b.) slow down our flying c.) yadda d.) yadda e.) yadda bing bing..

Rumors of no one showing up are not true... they are still doing new classes every week... Although I'm sure the number of attendees are not at the ideal level. No one can know about March yet, people are usually being put into class the next week after being interviewed.

I'll find out next month, too. Check the latest vacancy award. I didn't expect to have THAT many people junior to me in MEM.

As soon as (according to the FAA) I am old enough... So type ride mid-july is the plan..

Tram · March 8th, 2008, 21:38

Yeh, we may be in on the same vacancy...

kellwolf · March 8th, 2008, 22:02

I'll take notes.....I don't charge that much.

Sounds like you guys are gonna be hitting the type ride about the time I should be off OE.

Tram · March 8th, 2008, 22:05

Yeh, kells notes will be expected..

You're a 175 number??? Yeah it was strange when i got back from my leave and noticed that I was the most senior on some flight. More so than not, i am more senior than the capt. ha

No, I'm not.. I'm a 172 number.. Still, not that high, but that entire crew was junior to me..

It was the previous crew...

You guys are making me feel ancient. I was 14104.

GlenWimpy · March 9th, 2008, 16:09

Just an observation from my investigations: JC website seems to be a little more pro Pinnacle , where as APC website seems to rather anti Pinnacle. I live in Memphis , and I like Pinnacle , I'm sure they have there short comings , but we all cannot be perfect like my wife!

Give it time. Uncle Phildo hasn't raped you enough times yet.

kellwolf · March 10th, 2008, 16:08

We talking pro-Pinnacle management or pro-Pinnacle pilots? If there are Pinnacle pilots over at APC that think things are swell here....they haven't been here long enough.

Now, if it's guys bashing PCL, I'm not too worried about that. It's just another "My regional sucks less than your regional" contest.

higney85 · March 10th, 2008, 16:27

Hey Glen... You can't talk for or against a company until you work for the company. I know you, PNCL would work for you in YOUR situation, but for the purpose of the discussion there are more problems then ever at the moment.

Tram · March 10th, 2008, 18:33

I have been at 9E for almost a year.. I don't have that many complaints...
