Piedmont’s union proposed Date of Hire.

It’s likely that the SLI won’t be straight date of hire due to the turmoil it will cause amongst the top Envoy pilots.

A 725-775 member increase to the Envoy pilot group should increase the flow by 5-6 per month, bringing the total to 27-30 (based on the Envoy projected numbers) of which Piedmont will make up 1/6... thus decreasing Piedmont pilots relative flow to 4 or 5 per month. Probably looking at a three to six year increase in flow for Piedmont pilots with an Envoy proposed SLI if it comes to fruition.
