I'm not entirely sure, but I think Piedmont still may have a shortage of first officers. At least it looks that way looking on some of the base staffing lists. People have been saying that they may have postponed the August class because of the huge backlog of trainees stuck in training. They've been falling steadily behind since this hiring rush began and I think most classes are looking at almost a month or maybe more between ground school and sim training. However, since they finally raised the hiring mins from a heartbeat and a commercial multi certificate to 500/50, I guess they are starting to slow down...
