From what I hear, and I have no facts to back it up, was this letter was drafted when PDT had no representative present at the meeting. Therefore with no one to represent us this signature was pending. I haven't heard a yay or nay from Piedmont. However, like many here, I question it's integrity with a signature from PSA. If you want entertainment, please go to CLT and sit in the crew room. I get a headache every time I spend more than 15 minutes there.

In regards to refleeting Piedmont with 170s. Kenji Hashimoto was in SBY for a town hall meeting with Piedmont employees a week after the Eagle vote and the question was brought up. He stated that there is no way for Piedmont to be ready in time to take the first batch of 170s when they arrive. Now that's not to say we are out of the running for some later but I keep getting the sense that as long as our current management is in charge, nothing will change. Ask any Piedmont pilot about the iPad debacle or scheduling changes...
