Default August Piedmont class postponed

Just got the email from Bob Trout, my Aug 4 class is postponed indefinitely due to lack of attrition (who didn't see this one coming?). Apparently there is still an August 4 class but there are only 4-6 people versus the originally planned 15, with about 30 people swimming in the pool. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens...

Sorry to hear this, but this is bound to happen. With the current situations, one might just want to stay put and being a turbo prop operator, it just make a lot of sense to stay.

They did the same thing to us at PSA. Told us it may be September when they start ground again.

I also got that e-mail, and I was set for the July 7th class. Got the same info regarding how they will start again in August, and let us know in the future. I am just getting done with a 7 1/2 month pilot position, flying around the country, away from home; I guess I will have to take a little longer vacation than I thought! On the plus side, it gives us more time to study.

its never a waste of time to interview, any experience is good experience, and you never know what the future holds. Just heard on the NPR today the recession isn't expected to be as bad as previously thought, so who knows what that means. I also heard a rumor surface that we're expecting "really good news" in june, take that with a grain of salt however, some guy told me the last time they said that at PDT they all got "wicked cool lanyards..."


I've discovered this actually isn't a horrid place to work, they pay us o.k. and the Dash is such a fun plane.

threegreen, are you coming here for the upgrade time or something? Are you still flying the 145? With attrition slowing down I would imagine up grade time will stay the same or go back up as well.
