RedBaron is right. Piedmont has its ups and downs. I do have to say that most crews in all bases are great folks to fly with. I have been here 8 years and have not much to complain about. Don't pay attention to management, they are useless. Right now we are trying to hire as many Fo's as possible, simply because we lost so many over the past month, which means you wouldn't be on reserve for long. Guys going through class right now will never see a reserve line. The latest SIC bid had 34 open FO slot. Personally, I think Piedmont is great to get started in 121 flying, however there are other out there too. They might look better, but are still regionals. The bonus of course is good as well. And do I believe that Airways is going to replace the old planes we have? Yes. Good luck making a decision. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
