Piedmont has endured Years and Years of shrinking and flying aged aircraft. During our merger with ALG we had a fleet of just over 100 planes. That shrunk to a number less then 40!!
2 years ago I wouldn't have signed anyone of my friends up to come here because it was just a depressing place to be. Unless you lived it base it was hard to commute with our outstations and horrible schedules. That has now changed (Not the Schedules yet) and we are about double in size and have a continued movement in place because of the flowthru.

PHL is opening and it will continue to grow and grow and then another base like DCA or the rumored RDU might open. Not sure but I believe the plane is to get Piedmont going with the 145's and then switch over to the 175's and probably down the road merge with ENVOY. That won't happen for a long time.
Piedmont is a good place to come right NOW. 3-4 years???? How knows because it seems that the regional on top today will not be later. While I'll be gone to American it will be nice to see growth and happy people at Piedmont again like it used to be.
