The reason they are hiring is because of massive attrition, and 95% have been to "lateral" moves.
Piedmont is actually a step up for a lot of the new hires, obviously that's why.
I know it's hard to believe but, pilots on this board and other web boards are working non-aviation jobs with similar or, less pay than what they could make as a pilot at PDT.
Are you going to blame that flight instructor working at a small FBO, flying piston single engine for showing up to class at PDT?
If you're not happy with PDT you can always be one of those lateral move guys. Mesaba called me last month, CommutAir last week. Options are out there.
