Pinnacle Airlines Corp-NWA Airlink Employer Reviews

Typical day consists of fixing airplanes, that come in with pilot write-ups. Great experience to learn the aircraft in and out. Management is willing to help out as much as possible to get the plane ready and safely for the next flight. Great group of people to work with. Hardest part of the job is working 3rd shift while everyone is sleeping.

The hardest part of this job is dealing with a schedule where you cannot be at home for family events, such as holidays, weddings, graduations, etc. Days off and vacations are determined by an automated scheduling system according to your requests and senority position. The lowest senority FAs are placed on reserve in the airport and can be called at – more... anytime or within a two-hour period if coming from home.

The nicest part of this job is the traveling and meeting a host of people from different cultures and areas of the continent. When there are long overnights (18 hours or more), the flight crews can visit and sightsee in the different cities or just hang around the hotels, most of which have nice accommodations. The flight benefits are pretty nice as well.

The pay could be better because although you may be away from home up to six days, the hourly rate is only paid for the time you are in flight. The rest of the time is paid per diem at a very low rate. You need lots of energy and patience to do this job. – less

My every duties were never the same something always having whether good or bad.

All about getting planes in and out on time in which we use safety precautions at all times. Loadind and unloading aircrafts and pushing them back is also a part of my work duties and making sure my fellow employees compromising safety at the same time. I've been in a leadership position for about 7 years as well.

I love being and Flight Attendant, meeting and assisting customers

This company is really a mess. Management is uncooperative and much of the time very unprofessional. Pay is never correct and payroll- at least some of them- are completely incompetent. Planes are constantly broken, maintenance is too short staffed and issues are not addressed for weeks sometimes. Flight crews are over-worked and underpaid.

Having to work long hours (14 hr day) with little or no time to get off the aircraft to eat. In the last year my quality of life has gone from good to bad. In the last month management has informed the flight crews that they will be closing our base down in Memphis, Then they don't communicate with you as to what your options are. My co-workers are – more... the greatest and we are like family. The hardest part of the job is being on your feet for more than 8-9 hours a day and giving great customer service to someone that does not want to comply with the rules, Having great people that you can build a good repport with. – less

Flight Attendants get to meet hundreds of new people a day from all around the world!

Create flight plans taking into account fuel loads weather enroute as well as destination and starting point. co-workers where the best.
hardest part of the job was when the weather went bad. working IRROPS.

I try to make every day count and be a productive asset to the company.

Pinnacle was by far the best job I have ever had in my career (which is a long one). They treat you like family and the work environment is great. You really get a good workout too.

High stress environment,working with 2,000 crew members with discepancies.

We handle over 2,000 crewmember pay discrepenacies on a daily bases. The job is challenging and has been a learning experience.

I make sure all the fuler abide by ohsa and faa rule while on federal ground and fuleing the aircraft

You work the Customer service and the ramp. Good days are when there are no delays and enough people showed up for work.. You learn to work under great pressure and how to multitask. Your co-workers become as close as family while working in the airlines!!!
The fun part is dealing with the challenge and always becoming better.

Everyday was different. There was always a high turnover of employees so it was like working with a whole different company every year. The most enjoyable part is being able to fly free. The hardest part was the inability to advance and the pay

If you can handle long hours and low pay as well as being away from home during long periods of time this is the job for you.

EXCELLENT PLACE WORK TO WORK. COMPANY MADE SURE THAT THEIR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WAS FOLLOWED.

I have learned alot about the aircraft industry from the company. Great co-workers.

The company has been unstable for a number of years. It has now come to the forefront. After the recent bankruptcy filing, upper management continues to be evasive about future expectations. In general, the staff is over worked and under appreciated.
