You should be able to get mdt out of training, no plans for the 145s in mdt yet.

As Piedmont grows in the future a few more of our smaller out stations may close while a few more hub type cities will be added.

What pagey said. I'm about a year too late to benefit from PSA's biggest draw (fast upgrade). That train left the station some time ago. If they had the same flow package, employee benefits, etc. to Piedmont I probably wouldn't even be considering commuting.

Rumopr is its gonna be just Phl, further I'd expect the dash draw down to be faster than you think. When the least dash leaves expect a merger with envoy.

I thought the same thing but why spend millions on millions to start a 145 operator? They could've merged us from the get go.

I'll be long gone by then but a merger of the two wouldn't be a bad thing.

Yes, it'll be longer in PHL once that's open.

Putting PDT logos on all our stuff isn't a from scratch start up either.

The savings they'll get from having those birds flown by lower paid pilots will pay them back pretty fast.
