Just over 160 are, actually and they’ve got another 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 years left until they flow.
PDT didn’t really start hiring until 2016 after AA bumped up the pay/bonuses to after lagging the rest of the industry and not being able to fill classes. Since then every new hire class has increased the flow time 1.5-3.5 months for NHs depending on size.
Piedmont has been around for quite a while (1930s as Henson flying service and 1960s as Henson Airline). As long as AAG can exercise cost efficiency in its operations Piedmont and the other WO will continue to exist.
