Piedmont vs CommutAir
Anyone care to engage in an honest discussion between the two?
Both offer some sort of flow, new contracts, massive growth, east coast basing. The flow Piedmont offers is better, if AA is your thing.
CommutAir offers commuter friendly hotels and $36/hr out the gate with a much better sign on bonus. Piedmont currently has a shorter upgrade for experienced candidates....
Thoughts?

It really comes down to only 2 factors. Where do you want to live or commute from while at the regional? Which major AA or United do you want to work for.
Both seem like they have good stuff to offer newhires if you get in early.

Does Piedmont have jets yet? As in flying the line? Are turboprops looked upon any less favorably when applying to legacy or LCC?

Personally, I'd choose Piemdont. A solid flow in 5-6 years makes that decision.

I'll plug for PDT here, as there is no interview required with AA to flow, jets already arriving, etc..

So the more correct answer is no. No jet is yet flying a regular line. I've been reading they were coming, but were delayed as the infrastructure wasn't what it needed to be to support them. Good to hear you guys are putting it to use soon.
Any idea on the timeline whereby the 20 will all be on property? Is it like 2 per month or similar?

I'd go with commutair and try to get on with United. UA is growing by taking regional flying back in house while AA is trying to keep a large regional feed. Plus UA has a much stronger presence in the Asian market, which is soon to be one of the largest markets in the world. I think AA has something like only three destinations in Asia.
