Thanks for that, the one thing I do enjoy are the people I fly with except one or two, but that comes with every airline. Funny. with this last bid I took CLT and seniority wise I am holding 13 days off. If I stayed in PHL it would have been 11 for sure or maybe 12 with no weekends.

Sadly this company has left a bitter taste and I don't know how long I will stay even holding 13. Just saw they need more for CLT with a new bid coming out.

I think the problem is a lot of the people we work with, people that went to aviation colleges, their friends have went to different places.

I'm sure they all talk and when they compare quality of life, career progression, pay, overnights and aircraft, piedmont is lacking.

And this is what the company is completely clueless about.

It's like this everywhere. You just don't understand because you've only been here at piedmont. All regionals are trash.

Everyone thinks they can change it. Or it can’t be like they say.

Then the reality sinks in.

My wife tells me exactly that when I start to complain. I had an idea what I was in for, just living in denial up until the shiny new luster wore off. Luckily my friends that were in the training hold pattern decided to seek greener QOL pastures. This place everyone talks about it’ll get better, but it’s the same excuses time and again. Luckily I enjoy working and have my apps out.

I wish. Over three years to go, based on flow and attrition numbers. Hoping the apps will do some magic sooner!!
