We're more valuable to AAG than the Piedmont packaging we come in.

Ive been lucky at PDT that almost everything has been sorted out with the door closed or overnight briefing briefing. We all can't be friends but we can be professional for 4 days.

I hope something really good is in the works or this place needs a union shakedown with new representation at the top. It seems like their main priority lies in 2 main areas. 1, the retirement thing that’s been dragging on forever and 2, catering to the company and not the pilot group. I’ve lost a lot of hope and trust after that last TA...

Let’s hope it doesn’t take that long this time. Also curious to see how Envoy responds, and when.

I was waiting to see a huge list of guys in the 'Departures' section of this last PDT monthly. Everyone has heard that 20-30 FO's have left for Frontier, and that's what caused the upgrade class cancellations, uptick in FO junior manning, and FO Triple. But I count two departures on top of flows for last month. What am I missing? I don't think guys just putting in notice would have cause all that.
