PDT News and Rumors

Slightly off topic,...
I just happened to run across this on another website:
THE ISSUE | Take Flight Tomorrow
"In a perfect world, Piedmont Airlines would have hired 50 new pilots in the first quarter of 2014. To date, we have hired only 28. This is not due to a lack of motivation or compensation. Piedmont pays one of the highest first year salaries ($30,000) in the regional industry and offers a $5,000 signing bonus for new hires. This is due simply to an acute shortage of qualified, appropriate pilots on the market, and the unprecedented demand for their services.”
– STEVE FARROW, Piedmont Airlines President and CEO
*************************************
,.........or could it be, Steve Farrow, that word has gotten out about Piedmont's corporate culture and historically abusive training department? Naw. You're probably right. It's probably just "an acute shortage of qualified and appropriate pilots".
By the way,.....what is an "appropriate" pilot?

Just because you might be the highest paid regional at $30,000 per doesn't mean its still not a sh*t sandwich.
Today's millennials are way smarter than prior generations. They are not going to put up with this kind of nonsense and poor treatment.

Trust me! PDT is just a part of the spoke attached to the BIG wheel! The company is a good one however there are many cancer's within the company (JK, MM, JP, MK). Our MEC isn't thinking about us (pilot group) while they are in "meetings" with the AAG. Tired of these old ass pigs thinking they are king of the mountain!
