At the current state Piedmont is in. I hope the management decides on a training contract. I heard you guys are VERY short staffed on FO's right now. . . .like you have half of what you need. At the rate they hire people, it's seems to me like $5 Grand a pop would burn up some cash fast. They need to have the contract to have FO's stick around for more than 6 months which would reduce training costs and further increase the ability to finance new aircraft. But only if big brother would realize the Q400 is a regional airplane.
I worked there for 8 months and it wasn't a half bad place to be, despite being based in MDT with the grumpy ALG guys. . .kidding. They actually were great guys and made me more excited each day to apply somewhere else.
