Piedmont has had a flurry of upgrades recently and word has it that 18-month FO's will be getting the nod soon. The problem is that the PDT Captain minimums are at 3000 hours currently, and in the next 4-5 months there won't be any FO's left that have that much time. The company is looking to have the insurance requirements lowered to meet the demand, or possibly hiring street captains. All that said, how low do some regionals go for CA mins?
