Thanks for all the great info, but in your opinion, what makes the schedules so bad?

you'll get different answers from different people, but the biggest complaints are lack of line purity (lines mixed with am/pm trips, or trips starting early ending late), days off: not enough of them, and too many 2 day breaks

Ah I see, so commuting is pretty difficult I'm guessing? What base do you recommend for commuters? I have to fly into CLT regardless, there are no flights to the other bases out of the airport that I'm flying out of.

It isn't that bad. You will have excelIent boarding priority. I would recommend MDT, ROA, or CHO. You can also use other airlines there and I know ROA and MDT have the FedEx/UPS option. I have heard from some friends in MDT that there is a train from PHL-MDT if absolutely necessary. I've been commuting several years, and rarely have any snags...just plan ahead.

Yes I think the benefits outweigh the schedules and I'm pretty sure there will be big changes soon especially when the RJ's start showing up.

Yes there are other airlines out there but Piedmont getting hired this year won't be a bad deal at all.

Default Training Dept. sinks to new low.

The three stooges(Keen, Pfiefle and Modlin) are apparently deciding who will fail checkrides before they even show up to training. They were over heard in Keen's office discussing it by a crew member. Nice going stooges. Just when everyone thought you couldn't sink any lower.

Your training department has a long history of this kind of stuff. Who would want to fly for a turboprop outfit that treats it like it is rocket science(when it isn't)?

that crew member should be going to their rep and telling them about what they heard
