As far as RTPs go, Piedmont sounds pretty decent and I could drive to work from the Baltimore area. Sounds like, since most people dislike their jobs on APC, being able to drive to work is +++. I am not expecting the flows to bear fruit but I guess it's a "nice to have".
Seems like the MTP program was turned back on as DEC and Traditional FO recruitment forecast numbers fall well short after the failed TA.
60%+ of folks going through in 2018 training have been having issues, mainly due to inconsistent sim scheduling resulting in long sits between events. Previously the training overlords were fairly benevolent and willing to throw additional sims at struggling folks to get them on to the line. Sometime around August that mentality or the quality of the students changed and attrition has been increasing.
For your own sake, avoid a MTP/MTP NH pairing in sims. PDTs training department hasn’t figured out how to get those to succeed yet and fired the last two MTP folks paired together.
