Future of Piedmont?
 

I know there’s always rumors like a merger with Envoy and stuff. Would AA ever get rid of Piedmont? Or any other major things?

just saw an ad for a bunch of clapped out 145s on Trade-A-Plane... didn’t list N numbers but I’m worried....

Piedmont came out of the last recession.. they did have furloughs though... in a recession I believe 50 seat flying would increase ad flight loads are less and the 76 seat planes start flying more of the narrow body routes..

We used to run 35 seat dashes that are now served by 700s, 900s and 175s.

We have an interesting year ahead.

I used to have a different screen name but I was also always right. 175’s to PDT WITHIN 24 months. AA views the 145 literally as a training jet. 175’s within 24months...

AA capex spending going way way down, with AA getting rid of 190s, 75, 76, and A330 how in the world do you see more scope for 175s at piedmont? We will be lucky to keep this job.

more likely TSA’s planes..

hmmmm.... no

I don’t see any 145s for sale anywhere. Not trade a plane, controller. Heck I even checked barnstormers

I’ll have 2 of whatever you’re drinking

Wow you actually went and looked. That's precious

How are things over at Sun Country? Parking any planes?

Usually the first sign of a lack of credibility is telling people you are credible.....

New Hire Classes
 

Has there been any discussion of delaying new hire classes? Asking for a friend...

Last word was PDT was going to continue to hire.

Great, thank you!

TSA planes are 100% going to expressjet. Just wait enjoy your time and flow

You realize how the flow works, right? No classes at AA means no flow for any WO. Bad time to be saying anything about the flow other than talking about how it doesn’t exist for the foreseeable future.

You would be naive to look at what is happening in this industry/country/planet right now and think that Piedmont is going to keep hiring.

You are such a troll. Are you friends with Frmerpropcpt ? “Enjoy the flow” what flow?! The music has stopped. How about the 175s? Again with that bs.

They could stop or this is the time they get fully staffed while they can be the only ones hiring. If your the only ones hiring you may get people that otherwise wouldn’t come. But what do I know? I just fly the line

I don't think you're grasping how much this is going to hurt.

Don't be surprise if Piedmont becomes staffed by losing airplanes.

props2jets, Johnnyjetprops. The latter is the one and only Chief pilot SP. The former? Probably Scotty as well!

Sure, only time will fell but let’s be real this won’t last too long

We have absolutely zero idea how long this will last. If you think you do, you should go buy some winning lottery numbers. It has the potential to wreck us.

TSA has a handful of LRs without reversers that are not owned by United and are not going to ExpressJet. Those are the jets that TSA *was* planning to park first. But the situation is fluid since UA seems to be starting their reduction at the regional level via speeding up the wind down of TSA's flying.

They just had to re-do the April bid since UA cut flying even more than planned. After bids were submitted.

Wrong...

Filler

Wow...I wish I lived in whatever fairy tale world that you're living in.

Wonder what flow time the recruiters are selling this week?

yeah we would be lucky to still have jobs at this rate

Piedmont most likely
