There is no referral bonus anymore so no reason to lie to people. Don’t consider PDT unless you have no other option. There is zero reason to rank PDT over any other regional that is hiring right now. You can make more money and have a better schedule somewhere else while flying newer airplanes.
At a time when AA acts like they want to be all inclusive, hire women and minorities, it sounds like Piedmont has chosen to keep the inclusive policy out. Why has PSA chosen not to do this and Piedmont has? Piedmont management is far behind the times and actually has put up more barriers to a more inclusive hiring practice. They are well aware they can eliminate pilots who don't have the means to pay for the ATP CTP. Someone needs to ask why they are the only wholly owned AA carrier to go this route.
