What things don't you like? Seriously, the more info our mgmt sees on here the better as it is the only leverage to change things here... the threat that people may stop coming due to something in training. Also, the sim back up is not 3 months. Might be 1 month. Edit* last month it was about a month. I'd be shocked if it changed that drastically
It won't say anything but a resignation BUT resigning from training looks BAD. Like, really bad. Your next employer will ask

If you have not started training and just accepted a job offer, you don't work for the company. Call and be professional about it, and move on with your career. You never worked here, so there is nothing to report. End of story!!!

Nothing is ever set in stone but we've already taken delivery of the first 145 from Envoy and trained pilots to fly it so barring the FAA shutting the whole thing down the 145s are happening and my understanding is there will be more than 20 (most likely 60 total) on property when all is said and done. MDT, SBY, ROA, PHL are the bases for the dash, PHL is the only base for the 145 so far. All bases for the dash can be had before you exit training. You will most likely spend a month or less on reserve before holding a line. No new hires in the 145 for the foreseeable future which is like 6 months-1 year at this point.

From what I have been told the program is almost there. All the manuals have been approved. Line pilots are in training now. Proving runs start next month. We should be getting two more next month. Revenue service starts early February with three planes. I think we will start flying them on time, but it won't be pretty. I would not rely on a Piedmont E145 to make my commute. At least for the first few months.

The latest bid has 13 upgrades altogether, both dash and 145. Never seem a big class like this ever since I been here. I'm sure this will bring the upgrade time down to less than a year for those who are comfortable and have the times.
