When did the classes start filling up? Trying to figure out how good the wave is and where the backside is. The flow can be stopped at any time and isn't contractual at all correct? AA can just say sorry no more flow and that'll be it right then and there?

Couple of questions -
1: Where does PDT accommodate pilots during training at Charlotte? (Yes, yes, I've read it somewhere here before, but can't spend all night re-reading threads!)
2: Is the pay monthly or fortnightly?

The flow is definitely contractual and runs the length of our 10 year contract. And as with any airline, the sooner you get a seniority number the better off you'll be.

4 Points I believe, or Home2Suites. Fortnightly, as you so eloquently put it.

Thank you old chap.

We Antipodeans use some strange words and correct spellings.
Colour.
Labour.
We also refer to Coriander, not Cilantro.
Spring onion, not Scallion.
We watch cricket.
And drive on the correct side of the road.
However, should we attain lawful employ with an illustrious organisation such as American's subsidiary Piedmont, and have the opportunity to guide the magnificent Embraer beast through the ether, then...we shall be happy as Larry.

Oh, yeah, and thanks for the info on the question. SiG.

Flow is contractual in 10 year CBA. Classes have been full since the pay raise/increase bonus. People here are great. Good time to be atPiedmont.

We are the highest paid regional airline. Classes are full every month. Our CEO said 800 pilots. Even new guys with no 121 will be able to build hours quickly with no reserve time right now and can get 1,000 hours in about a year and a half.

I don't know why people keep thinking this. It's contractual, and if your here by 2025 your seniority will hold your spot.. The train is full steam right now and this place is doubling in size in the next year.. If you want in and want to be in a good spot I would be calling the recruiters relentlessly to get the first available class. That being said there are other options but if your gun shy playing wait and see, your leaving lots of seniority and literally 100s of thousands of dollars on the table towards your retirement.

Enough of me spilling the kool aid....
