It's nice how you're looking out for your Piedmont friends but you can just tell them if they don't like it then just "resign." There's a ton of regionals hiring and it's a pilots dream to have airline scrambling to hire people. I'm sure they'd have a number of job offers in a matter of days.

Honestly if it's the money for someone and they told me my sim was going to be in 3 months then I'd get a part time job. No reason to sit on your arse if you need the money. If you don't need the money then go travel the islands and have a few drinks avoiding the winter weather here.

ALPA??? Really?? ALPA is only as strong as it's weakest link and in the regionals that link is plastic.
