That's not surprising to me having dealt with that person, although I hate seeing anyone to lose a job. I wonder if things are improving.

He used to be THE MAN years ago. Notice a pattern with the few flight attendants left that were hired in the 2002-2004 timeframe?

If you do a search you will be able to find quite a bit of conflicting information about the merits and detractors associated with Piedmont training. Overall, I will say that the instructors are very good and you will learn a lot in a short-period. The best recipe for success is to approach it like you would if faced with eating an elephant. One bite (evolution/evaluation) at a time. The airplane isn't particularly difficult to fly, and is very forgiving of even the most ham-fisted pilot (Me in particular!). The systems are not the most difficult to learn compared to say, the SAAB 340 for example. The training center is top-notch and I enjoyed being there. Very good cafeteria, shuttle bus service to the terminal and hotel. The hotel is also good, and much better than the old one we stayed in for part of our training. Best of luck, and if you have any questions shoot me a PM...See you out on the line...

117 isn't geared towards pdt's archaic base structure, as long as this operation keeps trying to live in the past not much will change...
