I stuck it out at Piedmont also when many were leaving during the gloom and doom era. Believe me when it officially comes you'll know when and if you have to leave. That being said like 'us' you guys will also have those that will jump ship for a faster upgrade, bonus money and a secure future (Secure future we know can change really fast.) It's just the nature of the beast people think definitely for sure.

I got to Piedmont just as the glory age was starting to decline and over the years it's been a rough road but I will say I was always paid right and on time and been really happy with my time here that is soon coming to an end. Flown with some of the best people in the world.

The purpose of my post was to show that when times get tough you'll have those that will bail fast. We did and all airlines do! Hell I've got a few friends that went to AWAC from PDT and are still there while the ones that stayed at PDT are now flowing to American. You just never know. We had tons of people that left PDT to go to Republic. I don't even want to tell you the nightmare they feel and they know it was the Biggest mistake they made so far in aviation.

You just don't know....
