Excellent news for them, congrats to SW. Would be nice if it pulled more away from us as well. There is a lot of flight training out west and SW already has a pretty good grasp on that market, hopefully this will suck it dry and force us to the table.

It was funny when someone told me that our pay raise was not happening because we’re doing good as company. Haha. I just hope lts another fake rumor.

It's really not funny because Envoy, and by extension AAG, has zero incentive to pay a dime more than they have to so long as bodies keep coming through the door. Anecdotal evidence from glancing around the training center suggests that recruiting isn't struggling. Couple that with meeting AAG's cult of D-0, and our pay and contract will never see change. As unimpressive as SkyWest's TA is in this environment, maybe it will benefit us by impacting recruiting.

The 1% increase applies to the percentage of the premium cost that we pay, not the premium increase. If the total annual premium for an employee is $1000 then @ 34% our portion would be $340 with an increase to $350 with a 1% increase. But if the annual premium goes to $2000 annually, our payment would be $700 @ 35% (1% increase).

The devil is in the details (and the math)!

According to our company Piedmont is very close to being properly staffed as soon as the training back log is taken care of which is improving. Still lots of different numbers being thrown out on how many jets we’ll end up with. I’ve heard everything from 60 to 130

Can PDT realistically staff 30 more jets over the next 3-6 months?

Yes, time permitting.

They’ve been bringing guys/gals back down after recurrent for 1 day, just for right seat qualification.
