We actually have the flow agreement in our Mainline Contract. If I get sometime I'll look for it. I just remember seeing in pasted in our Company Ipads that outline the flow agreement with our 3 WO's.

I'm shooting the messenger as that's not the case. Maybe 5 per month with the flow included. There are a few rumor making lightweights that need to be shown the door. They know who they are. There will be 15 plus per month in class when new hires can go into the jet come fall.
Don't shoot the messenger, unless he's more senior than you. Climb that ladder! Ha.

Actually they are starting to make changes at Piedmont. It was rumored about 6 months ago and it looks like it's happening. Training Dept is become more and more a mirror of American. They basically want it to become a seamless transition into American from Piedmont. They already seen an increase in class sizes so I really think it's getting ready to go full swing since they can now start hiring right into the jet with Street Captain also.
Going to interesting but looks like they are starting finally to do all the right things. Plus now I've heard they have access to more 145 simulators.

Because it's not at the right size yet, the flow hasn't increased to the rate they were predicting. Unfortunately, the "time to flow" estimates were predicated on certain assumptions which it appears are not being met.

They are great at first, but before long, you have FO's that want to upgrade but can't because people that are junior to them took all of the CA slots. Then, when things start moving again, the street captains are stuck on eternal reserve.
So, you have street captains looking to go somewhere else because they are sick and tired of reserve life. At the same time, you have junior FO's that are unable to upgrade and are looking to leave. If the market is good for pilots (which it will be), they all start to leave at the same time.
This has happened many times at airlines, and is happening at PSA right now. Street captains are never a good thing. They just temporarily delay the pain and suffering. In the end, you are better off growing naturally.
Plus, from the sounds of it, PDT really isn't going to grow much at all. It is just swapping out Dash's for 145's. Isn't it going to be a 1 for 1 swap? If not, do you have the specific announcement to say that it is not and how many airplanes you will be getting?

Street captains are a time bomb, especially in this environment.

What does a seamless transition have to do with anything? The fact is that the pilot group has not yet grown to the forecasted size.
Because it's not at the right size yet, the flow hasn't increased to the rate they were predicting. Unfortunately, the "time to flow" estimates were predicated on certain assumptions which it appears are not being met.

Can you show me where they announced that it is a 3:1 replacement, 145's for Dash's? I must have missed that announcement.

Here I always thought I was the negative Nannie! You are right however looks like things are being put in place to attract people to Piedmont. Time will tell.
