Yes, people don't realize how senior PDT really is. % wise probably more senior then most other airline. Even 23 years might only get you a buildup line in MDT.

Seems like an awfully small price to pay for CAs wanting to move on and FOs wanting to upgrade. Last I checked year 1 on the CA scale is better than year 8 on the FO scale.

Of course if your airline takes 8 years to upgrade then its not such a good deal.

$2-$3 a hour is all a FO in that situation would lose. Even in that scenario id take the deal.

Captains can move now and fo's can upgrade as is now without giving anything away. So why should I agree to anything that appears as concessions

Serious question; has the training department at Piedmont been changed, or is it the same folks in charge? I've only heard horror stories. ( Not a dig on the pilot group)

Bzzt is Jerry Glass. He must be. There is no way he is actually a pilot. Pilots are a lot of things, but they are not cowards. You must be a new low level of loser to spend so much time on am Internet forum stirring up so much fear Jerry. I truly hope bad things happen to you.

FOs are stagnate and major jobs are very hard to come by at this point. You can bluster all you want but this place (Envoy) is shutting down.

Tsuda: 9/11 and the economy destroyed the 00's, that's not AA's fault. The flow would have worked if not for that.
