Piedmont or ASA

Hey if you were hired by both ASA and Piedmont which airline would you go for and why. I cannot make a decision on this one so if yall could help me out it would be appreciated.

Actually, Piedmont is the best choice. Better pay and a flow through with a mainline whose most Junior FO is 45. USAirways will need 1000+ pilots within the next two years.

both have their issues with ASA being bought by skywest they will definatly have problems to what extent is unknown, they also have been in section 6 for many years but again with skywest owning them it changes alot

piedmont i dont know too much about just that from what i hear they tend to get the short hand of the stick for what ever reason. you are not going to know if you made the right decision untill after you made unfortunatly, dont know about flow throughs but they never seen to work like they seem to. just a thought.

Not too sure what you are smoking, but save some for me!!

Don't use this point as the decision maker. Piedmont pilots will never likely see the inside of a mainline flight except to deadhead....

Well. . .that's what I've heard. Of course, this does not take into consideration what will happen when the two senority lists from AWA/USAirways are combined. But, ultimately, the US side will NEED pilots. Who are they going to turn to? Wholly owned captains who would NOT make the move or the FOs of PSA/PDT who would. Or. . .off the street. I'M not saying it will happen. It's just what I've heard will happen. He he he. Smoke it up.

Piedmont certainly does not pay more than ASA.

There is no flowthrough at Piedmont to mainline. And USAirways is the LAST place you want to place your bets at based on my career results. Angle for any other carrier that is well run and is not a Wall Street Profit toy.
