Piedmont Reserve Times?
Just got an offer from Piedmont, with an anticipated class date in July-August (I'm thinking August). Can you guys give me an update on current reserve times? Also, how much are you flying while on reserve? Thanks for the info

I spoke with a new PDT F/O based in SBY who told me he was on reserve for a grand-total of 2 weeks before he got his first line. I can tell you that most of the guys in EWN are around 4 months reserve currently - but it also looks like attrition is slowing too.

there are I believe 5 schools that they lower their "minimums" for...Daniel Webster College, ERAU, UND, Purdue, and Spartan (don't know if that's actually a college though). That's what I was told by the HR department.
but it seems like we have no minimums anymore from what I heard, I did hear about us going to DWC and hiring guys right from the flight program, kinda f-ed up, but from what the training department told me on my last CQ, dwc guys do very well in our training, so coming from there holds a lot of weight here, so that's probably why we went there...on the other hand, I've heard of ERAU guys having trouble recently cuz of their primary training on glass
