Cadet Program
Hi,
I just want to say thank you for the advice regarding this question. I currently work for Piedmont in another department which has helped me pay for my flight training.
Would you recommend applying for the Cadet Program? I appreciate all advice regarding training.
With thanks!

What makes you say that? Would you say PSA is a much better choice? The reason I'm asking is I am in a somewhat similar position as the Thread Starter, in low time, in flight training and want to end up at AAL. I have heard that AAL will only take pilot's from WO's and Mil, also heard of the opposite and am not sure what to believe nor how to find it out. Also, do you know what's up with the pay scale being unavailable on Airline Pilot Central? Thanks for the help.

I was recently in training and AA Mgmt made a presentation. So far this year, 17% of new hires are flows. They expect by the end of 2022 that 20% are flows, 10% are hired WO pilots, 30% are military, and 40% are other airlines

Breathing and a pulse… Piedmont is so hard up to staff that AA has given some of its routes to busses because it can’t staff the flying that it’s been assigned, consistently since 2019. Piedmont started parking planes for staffing in 2020 before the pandemic took care of the problem. Now that demand is up Piedmont is hemorrhaging pilots. Anyone who meets minimum qualifications will get a solid look.

Not sure if this is true for everyone but in my class seniority was determined by a push-up contest and a timed sudoku puzzle
