HHH is the only station PDT is truly needed for. They are keeping us around for a reason. If they want to add larger RJ's to the new American feeder, who's to say PDT doesn't have a chance on flying them? PDT is due for a re-fleet anyways. It would be less of a training bubble if they just re-fleet PDT and train us on the new fleet vs merging everyone then going through what PCL is going through. I know it's not what people want to hear, but it is still as possible as anything else. Our pilot group is just as senior as Eagle's is. I'm pretty sure we can handle those Jet things we hear so much about.
