This is a pretty ridiculous ****ing contest.
In my completely uneducated opinion, PDT will get 175s....after the merger with ENY in a couple years. Consolidation is going to happen in this pilot market; it's only going to get harder to find qualified guys from here, and neither of our employers are doing a bang up job right about now.
If they want to keep their cheap feed, consolidation is their best option IMO. The pie in the sky flow predictions just aren't enough right now, especially since both PDT and ENY are flowing 16 year + guys. Sure it's going to drop considerably, but it takes quite awhile for those results to show and new hires just ain't buying it right now.
