A Few Suggestions:
1. PDT replacing the -100's with the DC-3? Probably wouldn't be as restricted out of HHH. Look for the training dept to add tailwheel training in next year's CQ curriculum. I wonder how type IV fluid does on that tail?
2. Or, maybe add the A380 from PHL-ABE? In fact, that's probably as efficient as Air Wisconsin doing the route. 90mins to board, then 15 minutes t/o to touchdown.
***Just a few ridiculous ideas before we got the usual (albeit logical and reasoned):
A)Lose a few more planes
B)Gain a few more planes
C)PHX
D)(insert PDT other doom and gloom here)

Its probably gonna be that we are losing 30 airplanes, but 2 years from now are looking at securing leases on 4.
Or maybe the recalls are to be re-furloughed.
More seriously my bet would be an announcement concerning those 3 airplanes they have been working on. woo hoo, party time

1.What is the news?
2.Who is your source?
3.How did you come about it?
Just a few things you may need to get anyone to give a sh!t. Not trying to be a d!ck, but we are all tired of hearing what people "think".

Seriously. Where's the source? Where's the information coming from? I can say a lot of things that I "think" may happen, but unless I have a source, its speculation. If you have "news" give a source or its pointless and a waste of time. Big news Dec. 1? That's great but...

I know where you're coming from, but in Naley's defense, the title of this entire thread is "PDT News and RUMORS"...
if rumors are going to upset you, try sticking to the "Ask Piedmont" - which reminds me...even with a "reliable source" from SBY, the "news" isn't all that much more reliable.
We all know that 99% of the stuff on here is b.s., but of course we're all bored and so we read it anyway. We all know to take everything with a grain of crack around here.
If no source is provided, just consider it a rumor, as opposed to taking it as news; it's as easy as that.

I understand all that. Its the one liners with no explanation that are killers. Sorry for coming off like that, but its been a long time since anything close to good has happened. Like I said, not trying to be a d!ck, just tired of anticipation. My bad.
