This is the first I've heard of PDT thinking about shutting down. There is more online chatter about pilots hoping to secure a good Q400 rate and a flow through to US Airways..
I'd be really surprised to hear that they would be closing their doors.. I know a few FOs over there and they havent mentioned anything about that.. granted most of them are trying to leave PDT, but I figure they wouldve mentioned something as big as a shut down..
