They left out the part about the abusive training department, whose bullying director has needlessly scarred the careers of countless pilots. If you can possibly avoid Piedmont, do so.

There is a reason they're offering a signing bonus.

This proves people do not read the rumors here at APC before making the profoundest career decisions. We just had several threads in a row this year on the rather massive training department problems at PDT, yet people still come in droves to a job like this as though nothing happened. It also supports the idea no genuine pilot labor shortage exists, as they would be having great trouble filling classes at a place like this if the theory were true.

no future, no flow, old crappy planes, no hub basing, super senior pilot group, 7 year upgrade, abusive training department, bad schedules...

It is beyond me why anyone would come here!
