Not when I was flying them.

The -100s are just as fast as the -200s. You just have to use the -200 trq numbers and hope they don't pull the boxes.

The -200s were nice when they first showed up in FL. The extra ponies were OK, but the real news was air conditioning that actually worked on the ground in MIA.

Not that it meant any growth, upgrades or hiring or anything like that. If I recall, PDT had to ship 10 -100s to ALG.

Buddy of mine just interviewed at PDT with 260 TT and 13 Multi!! And got offered the job! Scrapping the bottom of the barrel it seems ( if he gets through AQP)

Also, he was told that the company hasn't totally ruled the mesa 200's out. And are seeking Q400's

Dude, you should be applying everywhere else... Everywhere. PDT sees you as over qualified, that you'll use them for 4-6 months for some turbine and leave.

This ^. They are only going to hire people who will deffinitely stick around for a while, more time counts against you here. Sadly pdt has become a sub-regional, like a great lakes or gulfstream without the quick upgrades.
