I found myself constantly checking the seniority list and trying to make the math work to back-up the recruiter's claim that the flow was under 5 years. Unless there is a new form of math that I am unaware of, there is no way it is possibly true, especially if hired today. I really wish Piedmont was not my first 121 gig. I ultimately made the decision to leave because my wife and I could not see any benefit to staying. Horrible trips, with one or two legs per day, I was logging about 2.5 hours per day towards the end of my tenure.

1) 5 year flow=flat out lie.
2) 1 year upgrades=flat out lie (for no 121 experience anyways)

It took me a long time to realize the flow was simply a carrot on the end of a stick, which Piedmont uses to keep you trudging along and putting up with BS in order to have the dream job somewhere down the line. With the flow rate the way it is now, going somewhere with much better pay and the ability to log some real flight time is more important.
