Wait, you guys on the jet have to carry your own QRH???? Why? And who revises it?! Aren't they spiral bound?
The technology that is desperately needed is in Scheduling. Monthly and Permanent bids are literally a guy doing them by hand. The open time system is atrocious and when the hell are we getting Flica????

I will say this,PDT may have a lot of great people working there but if they don't get ahead of all of these issues with technology they are headed for big problems. Their old systems and procedures worked when they were a small Pilot group ,but if they are planning on expanding to a 1000-1500 Pilot group or more,they won't be able to properly manage it with outdated systems and procedures..

The person that will be the most junior captain 6 months from now has already been hired. The painfully slow training process will allow anyone that is already flying the line to build 1000 SIC and upgrade before anyone that is hired today.

Meanwhile some of your friends are wondering how they're ever going to make it to a legacy, and some others are worried that they're not going to have a job since their regional isn't its contract renewed with its mainline partner.
