The instructors that are training right now will be gone inside of 18 months and the ones the company is training now, they believe will be a cure for the ones they lost in the last 6 months. This management team believes that once they fill a vacancy it will stay full until it opens up again and then they will fill it again. There is zero foresight to hire a few more than they need right now for later...



After you're finished with new hire training at PDT plan to spend some time on reserve. You will not make more than 75 hours a month on reserve.



Charlotte will stay full for a while because PDT had more base closures in the previous 2 years that were close to CLT than they had near PHL. Over half of the pilot group at the moment is commuting to PHL and they don't want to be there. Keep in mind that all the new hires ahead of you will choose their base before you do. A prudent person would assume half of them are going to want CLT.


Don't plan on a DCA domicile opening. Yes there's rumors, but don't make a decision about your career based on rumors...
