career progression, the company nearly doubled in size. that’ll return here at Piedmont soon, without the growth (along with the rest of the industry).
when I joined, PSA did not have the same bases.

You're joking right? All signs point to PDT downsizing and operating fewer aircraft than they currently do. Also, PDT is only hiring right now to keep up with attrition, PDT is NOT hiring to grow the airline it is merely just trying to keep the operation running. There is no "growth" in the future, those days are over unless a new fleet type happens in the far distant future.

You take the career progression out of the equation and Piedmont is just like any other bottom-feeder regional.
PS: If everyone wasn't tripping over themselves going down to 6 days off a month to get triple premium, we would all have been better off.

Something has to be going on behind the scenes. Both management and the union have been suspiciously quiet since covid has started to end and things are returning to "normal" with travel massively returning. Also, there are a lot of people jumping ship this summer out of the Piedmont boat. I fully expect some sort of announcement in the fall.
