Default PDT's reduced minimums

off of piedmont's website:

Qualifications for approved Colleges/Universities:
Total Time: 300
Multi-Engine Time: 50
College Degree


anyone know if Piedmont is strickly sticking to the 300TT and 50ME if you come from an approved school? any chance of getting hired with lower times than these? I have heard, from a former PDT captain that if you are a grad of an approved school, go for it regardless.

I am one of 13 pilots to get hired by PDT from ERAU prescott. I don't quite have the 300 and was told to wait until I had 300. The same goes with a few other guys. We don't get class dates until we have 300 hours. Can't wait to get my time and start training.

Why, for asking a question? Do you blame them for wondering if they can avoid spending a grand or two on more multi-time? I sure don't.

The Jersey'tude is coming out in you Saab...settle down.

Come on bro, is it that much for an AIRLINE to ask its applicants to have 300hrs total time and 50 multi? I don't mean to have an attitude, but come on......................

It seemed to me that John Buchanan was not budging with any of us on either the total time or multi. Then again I have 82 so I'm over the minimum. Despite the need for warm bodies, they require the 300 total.
