That sucks, CHO is a beautiful area. What's the long term plan with the dash 8s? Eventually phase them out as their cycles come up?

Yes CHO and EWN are both beautiful areas. Piedmont owns the 100's and will fly them as long as they can. 300's are leased for a few more years so I'd look at the Dash 8's being totally gone by end of 2018 or something in 2019. However it has been stated if we run into problems staffing or finding pilots the Jets will have priority and the dash will be parked to keep the Jets staffed.

Perhaps, but keep in mind AWAC mirrors a lot of our routes with their 50 seaters. They even do PHL-ABE..about a 15 min flight, something like 48nm straight line. We could use the 10 extra seats on our flights in the north to places like ERI or SYR. High load factor on several routes where all we have is the -102 operating with 35 or so seats.

Almost every city (Expect Hilton Head) is serviced by jets also. Yes it's obvious our route structure will change as we won't be flying as much in and out of CLT when the Dash's are gone.

A little off topic question guys....according to the requirements to serve as PIC under the 121.436, (a), 3. It is stated to have 1000 hrs as sic under 121, however there are other options that I could use towards the requirements.
One of them is the pilot in command under 91.1053 (a).(2).(1). As an option towards the 1000 requirement, which refers to crew member experience in general.
Since I have that experience with 737, 145 and 190 aircrafts at foreign FAA certified operators.
Just trying to get a clear answer about this, just to confirm the regs, since I'm starting class at PDT, and looking at my options for upgrade.
Thanks for your advise

Thanks, I believed, I could count that time since my current company is certified by the FAA as a 91 part operator.
