Do not use that as a guide for someone hired today. It will not be anywhere close to that

That’s insane. Some of these guys might have been soloing in a Cessna that day that I was hired at my regional. I upgraded in May 2015.

July 2014
October 2014.

July 2019 flow:

These are the folks that got the timing perfect. They were hired when the seniority list was small, but right before Piedmont went on a massive hiring streak. They got the benefit of starting at a low seniority number, and the benefit of the higher flows per month of a large pilot group.

It's a different story for pilots hired after them.

Jets, Flow, bases.. were all rumors.. they took a gamble to come when they did in 14 and 15... .. and it paid off... Remember these people came to fly the dash, not a shiny 170 and it paid off for them nicely.

Sure. I'm not complaining. I'm just trying to explain why a <5 year flow was a reality for them, but shouldn't be expected for a 2019/2020 new hire.
