Believe me, we all would love to know…. In fact, in our most recent town hall our director of flight literally said “we don’t know anything, waiting for our marching orders from AA”.

Nobody knows anything.

The simple fact is that AA is not going anywhere. Need I remind you again of the TSA numbers or recent booking trends?

Piedmont will certainly have a place in AA's march to profitability and nirvana. Sometimes you just have to step back and watch the magic happen.

The grass always seems greener on the other side. While this may be true in some aspects, it's a rarely a sure thing.

How long have you been with FedEx? Relatively new there?

I have no idea if he is at FedEx or not. He posts on the FedEx forums claiming to be there. I just wanted to see him rationalize being a troll on the Piedmont forum (where he at least used to work) with having allegedly moved on to bigger and better things. Real upstanding character.

Wow man, swing and a miss with this one. I haven't said ONE bad thing about you or your pilot group. Actually, I've done nothing but praise you guys for the job you're doing. There's no trolling with what I'm saying.

I've spent way too many years in the regionals (and corporate) before moving on. More than I'd like to admit, to be honest. You guys need to realize you're in a good spot going forward.

Either way, FedEx seems very interested in hiring Piedmont pilots. So does Spirit and Frontier. You guys are in a great spot moving forward regardless of AA. There is going to be huge movement again.

I've yet to see anything in that AA glove other than sweaty palms and sticky fingers.....

No disagreement from me there.
