At this point, I'm confident that they know they are lying, or at best, deceiving potential applicants. Yes, someone hired in 2015 or 2016 will flow in five years or slightly less. However, if you're applying in 2019, you won't be a 2015 hire, now will you?.. Why the **** would they give you flow numbers for a 2015 hire? Because, they are recruiters, and it is their mandate to recruit pilots.
At current rates of attrition, someone hired in 2019 will probably take 7-9 years to flow.
Could you flow in 4.5 years as a 2019? It's not impossible, but attrition would have to literally double, starting the day you're hired, and sustained the entire time you're here. Good luck with that.
EVERYONE CONSIDERING PIEDMONT: STOP. BELIEVING. RECRUITERS.
I don't even think the whole 2015 hires at 4.5 years is going to come to fruition. I don't want to identify myself, but I was hired at a great time to be hired in terms of flow, and I think I'll be out of here at 5.5 years. Anything before or after the sweet spot is longer. The farther after the sweet spot you were hired, the longer the flow gets.
It is downright wrong what the recruiters here are doing. I feel bad for the kids that buy it, but man do some homework. It's been laid out here many times.
I am reluctant to give any recommendation because if I were in the market today, I truly do not know where I would go. I will say that if you want to be based in PHL and you value QOL, Republic has us beat by a country mile.
