I really don't see attrition increasing as a result of the "no" vote. Most pilots here are sold on the idea of "I'll just deal with all the PDT shinanigans until I flow" mentality. The only way I see it getting better for the pilot group is if PDT is unable to fill new hire classes and if the current pilot group stops picking up all the open flying. Money talks, if PDT is forced to cancel flights due to not having crews then that will set off alarms higher up that something needs to change. But if all the open time continues to be picked up then why would management care about us at all? I.e. status quo as usual. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.
Pilot attrition had picked up significantly.. mostly on people here 0 to 2 years.. even the seniority list is updated we still know shortly.. the company is trying to come up with some creative ways to ro retain these folks... don't get excited as they are silly solutions.
We will see next week the size of the nh class this month.. but recruiting is scrambling... word is out... piedmont is not the place to come to.. unless you live in base... don't want too fluffy much for first year... approximately 100 hours in the first year.. and you don't mind only 11 to 14 days in your bed.
