From what I heard the training department has eased up a bit and jk is no longer allowed to fire people it comes from salisbury now. I would think they're too desperate to flush fo's down the toilet but I would've thought that a long time ago and they still did but training is easy of you take it seriously and study hard just make sure you pay attention and pass the written exams the simulator is actually pretty laid back it wasn't even an issue when I went through and I flew cessna's before that with only a few hours turbine.

Yes but only on a -100, you'll pretty much never have a problem getting on a -300 jumpseat we usually have almost a thousand pounds to spare unless it's a horrible weather day and we take a ton of fuel but that's very rare, the -300 jumpseat is far easier to get on than a crj -200 jumpseat. But you'll almost never get on a -100 jumpseat we can't even take a full load of passengers on a normal day, only with 4 or 5 kids can we take a jump on a -100

You have to do a little digging but enter the route on flightstats.com or use the app and click on more info and somewhere down there it will say whether it's a -100 or -300, most all of our -300's are down in charlotte so if your going through philly it's probably a -100

I would say if they said "at least" than yeah its relatively accurate, I wouldn't expect to be off reserve within a couple months but I would think 6 months is pretty reasonable, pdt isn't having too bad of staffing issues yet so it's not like they have extra hard lines laying around unfulfilled or anything.

Hello, I have been selected to interview with PDT and would like to get information from anyone who has just recently interviewed. Also has anything changed with regards to your training department, From what I have been told it does not have a good track record for new hires. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
Stay away from Piedmont. There are plenty of other operators out there who are dying to have you.
Don't risk your career.
