I thought PDT was targeting 700 pilots on property 2017. At 10 pilots / frame PDT could support 70 frames. If they keep all 11 DHC8-300, PDT can support 59 145s - I would guess that is how many they would get.

Management has claimed they will get as many jets as they can staff. Since it is in AA's interest to keep healthy WOs to give them a stream of vetted pilots, I do believe they will give the WO as many airframes as they can staff. So I say - 2/month while PDT can continue staffing them.

60-80 jets is a very realistic number.

Now that you are on E145 (per your avatar), you may need to change your handle - no more leveling for speed!!

Default For new hires going to the CPT course

Hey guys, if any of the new hires on here are going to the CPT course in Dallas want to know more detail about it, like the simple stuff like food nearby, shuttle (its a joke), etc. PM me. I'm here now through Monday.

P.S. 1st suggestion, if at all possible rent a car. can you do this without one? yes... will you want to? not really

Which destinations are they going to fly all of them to? Take over AWAC's routes?
