Had an AA jumpseater the other day who, when told how many of our (PSA) pilots were going to United, said "yeah, why wouldn't they wanna go somewhere with a good contract?"

Not sure about that. However I think the bigger issue is they will not be able to pull FOs from the line for 4-5 months of training to upgrade because there is a massive FO shortage and they need them in the right seat.
For example, the recent email soliciting CLT FOs to TDY to PHL for April. Also, there are current FOs in upgrade training with some time off between completing ground school that were allowed to go back to the line and fly as FOs for 300% pay while they wait for sim training - still not sure how that is legal since I always thought you were de-qualified as an FO when you started upgrade training but of course PDT finds a loophole and way around it.
So yeah between the FO issue and all the CAs leaving. PDT is in trouble.

Again folks just want to reiterate to anyone that is thinking of coming to piedmont. If this is the ONLY regional you can get on with then fine, But if you have choices please do yourself the favor and don’t come here. Save the heartache. This place is a disaster and Getting worse by the day. Please please please just go to PSA where you will have some better QOL.
