An old buddy of mine used to say these ole’ 145s age like fine wine. You be good to them and operate at the HIGHEST possible standard, and they will treat you right.
I can’t help but laugh at al the doomsday talk. Piedmont shall continue to impress and be a vital part of the AA network.
Keep it up guys. We’re all so proud of you.

I still say he never would have been sent to Piedmont if it were being shut down. That still holds true. Piedmont is going nowhere.

Honestly, I don't think it really matters where he ended up going - he's not at PDT for the long haul. He'll be hired at mainline outside the flow way ahead of those senior to him just like pretty much every other "legacy child".

At the end of the day this airline is a different place than a year ago and will be different a year from now. And at least the pilot group is unknown a to the future.
I personally don't see us growing..

Exactly, he was probably told “You’re going to PDT end of discussion. Do 2 to 3 years there as an FO and as soon as you upgrade you’ll be hired at Mainline”.
You really think he’s going to be at PDT for his 7 to 10 year flow based on seniority, Sure!

The majors need 20k pilots in the next 10 years just to cover mandatory retirements, there're only 20k regional pilots, and the military barely churns out 2k fixed wing pilots a year. Do the math. In the mean time, don't wreck someone's bright future over regional gossip.
