Who cares really! If it's so bad at a place people won't come right?? Looks like things aren't too bad on our side.

Anyone associated with Piedmont and our history knows that what we have happening right now is absolutely wonderful for everyone involved.

Agreed. It's about personal choice. For aspiring candidates, look carefully at the pro's and con's and act accordingly. Apply and interview when you get the opportunity. You may find your original choice of number #1 may not be all you thought or they may alternatively not want you! Good and affordable health insurance makes up for and extra $6/hr pay rate if it costs half of what others are offering.

But that's impossible! The Piedmont contract sucks and they can't possibly only be paying 16.5% of their health care! Seriously I think my max out of pocket is $20 for a dr visit.

If the PDT contract sucks, when is the next one up for negotiation?

I was joking! It really is a great book for what we do now. In the future it will need changes. Changes in pay, some qol additions, etc. the shortage is real and it's here. Sooner or later it will harm pdt's ability to attract and retain pilots. What will the Wholly Owned carriers and AA be forced to do? Increase areas like I mentioned. They will have no other choice as they are putting so much weight behind the cradle to grave strategy

aag is placing large bets on FLOW to attract pilots. they will tell you the flow is worth over 6 million if/when you flow to aa, they dont have to increase w/o pay or benefits. If you flow, they will come.

Isn't the health insurance going up to 35% in the next couple of years?

If it ain't Buck Nasty !!!! He is nominated for getting his best friend's girlfriend pregnant, then tricking his best friend into raising the little mutherF*&^er.


Now that's terrible.....

Don't you have to place your 'No' vote on a contract your union said wasn't concessionary???
