Haven’t had one there since the dash days. Do the still give you almost no options? I’d take what I want and just tell them I have an allergy. They always seemed to act like their paycheck relied on what sammich I wanted. PHL, at least, is still pretty good.

And while I agree with some of what was said about his personality, this is not the place to be talking about this. If you had a very negative experience with said person, call our pro standards committee members. They do a great job.

That being said what we should only be talking about here is the following;
1 piedmont pilots are the now the lowest paid in the industry
2 sign on bonus and retention bonus schemes has made us the lowest paid airline in the industry
3. Piedmont pilots have the lowest QOL of the regionals, 11 days off, 6 and 7 day trips with 1 day off a month, terrible reserve rules, block 50 to 65 hours a month with min pay of 75 hours. 4 and 5 year captain wil make 65 to 75k a year. We have no duty rig and we have a modified trip rig which means you will only be paid 4 hours a day for a 12 hour duty day.
4. The monthly interface.... you can never plan to have the first four days off any month.

Same. I can’t recall anything. Granted, I’m not on Facebook but maybe once a month.
