That is from your reply. So maybe you need to read your reply.
I was also wondering what is the average date of hire at Piedmont?
I was DHDing out of PGV on Peidmont about a year ago. My FA and I were standing outside the hotel waiting for the Peidmont crew working the flight to come down and discussing what are dinner plans were going to be that night. Then this Peidmont FO comes out to get in the van and stands next to us as we were deciding if it was going to be a chicken or steak night. She then butts into the conversation and proceeds to tell us how much harder the Dash 8 is to fly than the CRJ becasue we dont really fly it. all we do is "push buttons" while you "actually have to fly the Dash". At first we were confused as this comment was irrrelevant to the conversation taking place. But then we realized something, she was right. I am not a very good pilot and I tend to struggle with the "button pushing". Thank you Dashgirl. I refer to that day as the "Awakening" for me. I have since set my standards really low and am never disappointed. I've never felt so free!
