Lahey

any update on dumdums for pilots day in the crew room? I won’t be able to check myself

CADR

Not a peep. Yet I see every other airline including mainline AA making social media posts about it. Meanwhile at PDT....”crickets”.

We don't have anyone on furlough we have people on "inactive" status but obviously they're all being given class dates for May-June-July, classes will continue running with cadets who've already been extended offers, envoy probably wont reach out to applicants off the street until next month and even then likely wont interview until late May early June to schedule them for classes in August. Once we start running out of cadets who are ready for classes they'll likely start running classes with a mix of cadets and off the street hires as was the norm pre-covid.

Now as far as Piedmont is concerned, obviously you guys are gearing up for hiring. You have LCAs in training right now, and I saw Pilot recruiters at Sun N Fun last week too. I would assume you guys take the same approach as envoy with starting off classes with cadets and CJOs first as I'm sure you have enough of those ready to go to fill your classes for now.

Guys, it's getting real. Demand has creeped up on and now is poised to explode for the summer. You haven't heard much from AA lately as they play their cards close to the vest, and they are getting their battle axes ready. PDT has been quietly managing their assets and capacity during the pandemic and are positioned to be the premier WO'd coming out of this.

I've been hearing the Cadets are so eager to get to here and start flying ASAP. They also realize they are idolized by others in the regional airline industry. There will likely be some fresh new talent entering the Cadet programs to keep up with the explosive growth later this year.

Premier wholly owned carrier? With your 145’s that have the **** beaten out of them, no first class, crap line values, and PHL-ABE turns? PDT is a good airline, but premier? Hardly.

LMAO.... what, dude? What company have you been working for? Status quo is the name of the game here. Not trailblazers.

You really couldn’t read through the trolling? Just sit back and get a good laugh out of it like everyone else did.

This isn't really a laughing matter. The plans AA has for PDT is to be a behemoth carrier with national exposure. Ever notice how much additional flying PDT has been doing in the last 6 months? When AA needs the flying covered, they "bring out the big guns" by assigning it to PDT, since they know they'll get it done, no questions asked.
