Along with many lifers leaving the same amount are staying. Mostly the guys with less then 5 years. They will be able to Retire at Piedmont since it's one of the few Regionals that has a retirement.
Now many of our 5-7 year FO's are upgrading. We don't have people jumping ship anymore. Our contract doesn't change until we get 145's or 175's. And like I said we could care less now! The Dash is a fun plane to fly and we have movement for the first time in like 10 years.
Kinda nice.

PDT has movement now and most PDT people could care less about any 145's.
How many flow slots does PDT have?
The movement must be glacial.
If the APA caves on scope there could be 100's of RJ's coming the regional way; thereby comprising an even larger portion of the domestic route structure. With people willing to fly them at a max. pay of $93, I would bet that would have a definite effect on AAG's hiring. At least on the legacy side.
