But you'd rather get a class for the 757/767 w/ a Miami base… can you "defer" until that comes available? Or are you "stuck" with what you got?
When you flow to AA, you will bid for base and fleet during indoc. If I can recall, I've haven't heard a lot AA new hires getting 757/767 phx bases. A lot were LA, DCA, LGA, 737/A320

If you have to wait for the equipment/base that you want, there's no good reason to not do that with an AA seniority number vs. sticking around at a regional.

6 LGA 320 D
4 LGA 737 I
7 LGA 737 D
4 PHL 190 I

6 190's to PHL
7 320's to LGA
30 737 to MIA

Above is the April drop. MIA is junior so won't have a problem getting there. PDT latest upgrade time is 6 months.

Looking at the new hire thread looks to be about 10 months. Best bet would be to commute to LGA for a while.

Looking for information from current piedmont pilots. I'm really interested in joining the company. Searched other forms all the info seems outdated or very limited. Thanks

Best regards,
Rooster

Hey guys, will my significant other get travel benefits while I am in training? Or can I fly back home on the weekends? Also, can someone please PM me their typical FO E145 KPHL schedule? I am in July class and wanted to get a better picture what to expect.

Much appreciated!
