Flow is the golden ticket for guys who have been here more than three years, while we try our damndest to get out any other way possible. But it’s not easy and you know that. Which is why many are so reliant on the flow.

Truly not knocking your decision, makes a ton of sense for many people, and not so much for others. I remember you saying you have some legacy interviews coming up, that’s a huge accomplishment and very hard point to reach. Don’t sell that short and realize many would kill for that opportunity. Again, that’s why the flow is important for many.

Nope, but 6-8 months boost on seniority and pay, I could make that pay up in no time. It’s the long term return that I’m looking at. And quite frankly, I’ve had all the NE I can stand for awhile😂

I doubt increased flow will be on the table. Piedmont can’t afford to lose anymore then they all ready are.

Hopefully you weren’t caught up with that group that resigned to goto frontier, and then frontier reduced class sizes and put a bunch of people now without jobs in a holding pool.

That’s their own fault for quitting a month before a class date.

I heard something about that. Did PDT take them back?

Lucky for them, PDT is not in a place to be picky about who flies their airplanes, especially if they're already through training

Some gave two weeks. You know, professional courtesy. F9 gave some people less than a week notice. Nice job undercutting them though

Interesting. Did those new airplane payments start showing up at Indigo? I honestly don’t see how they are going to survive. Might be doing a RAH BK to reorganize sooner than later.
