It's not going to do much to the PDT flow. That's the beauty of having a flow like we do at a smaller airline. Even if they stop a month or two and make it up later, it doesn't hurt too much. At Envoy, I can see why you get your panties in a bind. You people need the movement to justify yourselves.

They already said that envoy flow will be 50% or higher of the PSA/PDT flow in this slowdown.
5-10 a month leaving is better than 0, but people are glass half empty.

Honestly if I were in the pool right now I might apply and try Delta or United. They could lose 400 numbers waiting to get their class date or even more.

Now the main problem with Piedmont is seeing how big can it actually grow.

That I agree with. Hopefully with the new CEO coming in and the rumors of a complete overhaul of the training dept. things might be changing for the better. However the question will be 'is it too late.'
Only Time will tell!
