Thank You
Dear Fellow Piedmontsters:
I sent in my resignation this morning to Salisbury, and will be joining a new jet regional toward then end of this month. I am seeing that there is no future for a newer hire here, and might never upgrade or even hold a line at my current base. I am going to miss the crews. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE has been great and really helped a new hire feel acclimated, and welcome. I am going to miss flying the Dash - defiantly, a pilots airplane, and the most capable aircraft I have ever flown, and probably will fly. I am sure I will see many of you around, and I wish you all the best!
Cheers!

I recently received an invitation to interview with Piedmont. However, I have a couple of questions/concerns before I accept the invite.
First of all, I only have about 500 TT and I haven't flown for two years. Secondly, I have 3 failed checkrides.
So my question is: Is it worth the time and effort getting current and instrument proficient? I don't want to waste my time or Piedmont's if I'm going to be an instant rejection. If it's going to be a situation where my explanations are the deciding factor, I'd like to give it a try. I'm very happy in my current job, but have always had the dream of being a pilot and want to at least give it a shot if it's still a possibility for me.

The most junior domicile for FO's seems to by SBY, but not sure how future bids will be with LGA closing. There may be more pilots moving around than previously trying to get the domicile they want (or thought they wanted).
FWIW to you new guys, PDT does not post domicile bids on a regular basis. They only post bids with "staffing requirements". So you may get a domicile assignment then decide to change. You may do that, but there may be a bid next month or next year.
