Not yet, i do have a class for Envoy and a Interview offered by PDT. However going to the PDT interview will mean postponing my class date at Envoy. I think i prefer PDT from all the info i gathered here since I dont know anybody on either airline but I dont know of its worth pushing back my class date.

It's a career. If you really think the better career move is to go to Piedmont, who cares about a class date somewhere else??

Call the pdt recruiter, explain the situation. I'm sure they can interview this week and possibly for you in jan class.... they don't want to lose people.

Just tell envoy you want a later class date,one in a couple of weeks.It's no big deal,people do it everyday. Stuff happens, they know it.It's not that serious. Give yourself ample time to explore the best options for you and your situation.

You are correct 330 is more accurate. I was accounting for 12 months of flow, not 11

Can someone give me specifics on the PDT flow? Is it 1 flow per 125?

3/month for the first 350, 1 more a month for each additional 125 pilots added to the seniority list. Currently at 4 a month

So per the guy a page or two back you have 60 people not flowing by choice. I had recently heard PDT the number was 100 pilots not flowing.

Quick math. 400 pilots flowing at 4 per month then it's an 8 year flow. Ok so you say your pilot group will increase and then flow 5 per month. 400 pilots flowing at five per month avg is a 6+ flow. Not to mention AA doesn't hire in December. So that's another 5-6 months to add to these numbers.

I'm interested in how PDT comes up with their numbers on a fast flow. The only way you accelerate PDTs flow is by increasing the pilot group. This is very much like a pyramid scheme. If you get in while it's a small group then you are golden but once it gets growing there isn't much to be had.

Then I guess you had better hurry up!

There's also the unpredictable number of people who will take other jobs/quit/get fired, etc. That brings it down some but it's anybody's guess how much.
