That's your opinion, I'd pick someone with out 50 seat jets. Everyone in a year will have a quick upgrade or be tits up. I'd go with a good contract and 70+ seat jets. Because it's not a two year jump from cfi to mainline, it's 5 plus and in 5 years the props and 50 seat jets will be gone.

No dare just truth. Don't be a negative Nancy around here and I wont. Delayed and awaiting approval are 2 different things sir. Tell us more of 5 years from now and why PDT won't move on to larger aircraft too...

Maybe so but unlike most other airlines every one at PDT if it were shut down would end up at American. Once hired at PDT one thing you have is job protection. Can't say that for many other 50 seat operators.

Can you please explain exactly why no hub bases ( I'm assuming all 5 bases aren't AA Eagle hubs?) is a drawback? Thanks.

They're an outstation based airline as opposed to the traditional. If you live in one of those cities, its really nice as you can be home most nights. However, if you are a commuter, its a nightmare with a two leg commute. However, their new commuter policy does offer some relief if you are ok with a two leg commute to and from home each trip. A two leg commute eats up alot of your day each way.
