That should be the tagline for the Airline Pilot Central forums...
Let the misinformation flow.
And generation after generation of wide eyed, up and coming pilots will be led astray in a never ending cycle. Companies such as Republic and Mesa practically depend on it.

PDT has more growth and opportunities out there right now then any other airline that i know of. They have done really well so far with the Dash and should only improve with the 145. Not discussing the planes themselves PDT has a really good contract. It is missing nothing or at least very little.

The problem with PDT is the fleet. If fuel goes nuts, they're in trouble. Long term, my bet is PDT gets folded into one of the other two when their jets aren't profitable enough... or when a pilot can't be wasted on only 50 seats.
There is a reason we parked a ton of the things to begin with. We have plenty of pilots.

PDT also has all of the contract provisions to accept 175s down the road and I would expect to see that eventually. The 145s going to PDT had more to do with FAA oversight than what the long term plan is. The FAA wants to see the progression of the 145 program before approval of the larger jets. Will there be consolidation at that point? Who knows...but you would want PDT's contract to rule the day, that is for sure.

. But yes, the PDT contract is one of the good ones.
