Am having mine tomorrow, will post after it...Pinnacle is doing a phone interview with me on Thursday (dispatcher)...any tips or information would be appreciated..Thank you
Check list for a Pinnacle interview.
1. Have a pulse.
End of checklist.
Don't worry about it to much. Pinnacle is a good place to go and learn. Most people who interview get on there. Just relax be yourself and don't BS them and you should be good.

The phone interview won't be very technical as its a phone screen. If they like you, they will get you to MEM (for now) for a face to face interview and test. Remember, they are moving to MSP soon and a lot of their SOC personnel are not going to MSP.
Just finished, 30 minutes of fun! Review your weather (fronts, TS), approach plates, regs (i.e. max hours a Dx can work in 24 hrs), TAF/METAR, airspace types, and Victor Ways. He also asked some scenario questions involving MEL, hot/heavy, and engine out examples. The first class should start end of March in MEM, and follow-on classes will be in MSP. Ironically, right after I finished I also got a call from Ameriflight, any info on them would be greatly appreciated. GL!Thank you Jose..and good luck
Unless you have aspirations of flying, then don't even bother with Ameriflight. PCNL isn't great but it is at least "dispatching" at a 121 airline vs. "flight following" at a 135 air carrier.Ironically, right after I finished I also got a call from Ameriflight, any info on them would be greatly appreciated.

Kinda got that vibe as well, since it sounded more like a jack-of-all-trades/customer service representative position than dispatching...Unless you have aspirations of flying, then don't even bother with Ameriflight.

Id even take a cargo outfit flying one plane full of bananas out of the congo.
The company has also not determined if they will stay in MEM or if they will move their HQ to MSP.
Yes, the guy said they expect the move to MSP to be done by June at the latest. Last Dx class they'll have in MEM will be starting in March, and all hired after that will get trained at their new HQ in MSP...I thought this was a done deal and they are moving to MSP?
So how'd it go? You could always try applying for this one : http://aircanada.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=158885&lang=en&sns_id=Pinnacle is doing a phone interview with me on Thursday (dispatcher)...any tips or information would be appreciated..Thank you
