Can't see that being enough. 12 a month? 3-4 gone each month for the flow. 1 ERJ a month = 10 additional crews. Looks like a negative number still doesn't it? Plus you'll have a few not make it thru training and a few that go to other airlines. I can't see 12 a month keeping it in the right direction.

Add another hub base (CLT) and put some dollars in the pay scale. Done-zo.

CLT base alone would be a big booster.

I'd prefer IAD or DCA

Heard Hogg has been coming into new hire classes and been spreading a positive message for PDTs future. Did he do that for yours? And if so, anything noteworthy you'd like to share???

Seems like this company is on the right direction, but these rumors could use some traction.

We need a hell of a lot more than 12 a month.. They need to get at least 40 a month so that 30 actually make it to the line...

Pay and schedules... Pay and schedules... Let's grow this fooker....

He did not. Mike Kelly did stop by and talk a bit. They did talk about iPads, but all they said was "we don't have a time frame." Regardless, we'd still have to carry paper during the 6 month transition...

All of PDTs current problems sound awful familiar. Think PSA 1 year ago. The bottom line is that money talks, and AAG isn't paying. With the furlough recalls at mainline in 2016 and the shrinkage of the AA fleet by almost 50 airframes until 2020 when they actually start to grow again none of it bodes well for flows. PDT, PSA, and EVY are going to be in a lot of trouble come winter 2016/2017...

AA Fleet being 50 frames smaller will be no issue at all. It's spread out over then next 3-4 years. 50 Frames = 500 pilots and AA is retiring over a thousand or more by that point. Plus there's a really chance we'll see more Group 1 planes. I'm hoping down the road all the Wo'ed pilots are given a seniority number and hired into Group 1 planes.
